Baby Einstein - Baby Neptune - Discovering Water [DVD]

We have had success with all of the Baby Einstein DVDs.

Im glad I only checked this DVD out from the library and I never spent money on it. My daughter absolutely loves the Neighborhood Animals Baby Einstein DVD that shes been watching since she was 4 months old. But when I played this one for her at 9 months old she couldnt have cared less. I found this interesting, given that Neptune is for 9 mos. and up, while Neighborhood Animals is for 1 yr. and up. I thought the younger movie would hold her attention more, since she was younger. I too found Baby Neptune to be boring. Its got the nice music and pretty imagery, but it is lacking the pazzazz other Baby Einstein movies have.

I only gave this one 4 stars because I dont think this dvd is as good as the others. There are some cute puppets, but they somehow have lost the innocence & simplicity of the older dvds. With that said, my son really does enjoy this dvd. He loves the puppets & babies and laughs while watching the dvd. . . I think he is more enthusiastic about the other dvds, but loves this one as well

Of the things that buy me a moment of peace, this is in the Top 10. Im not a big TV person and feel a little guilty about putting him in front of the tube, but the B.E. videos are an almost perfect compromise. Baby Neptune gets the most airtime. Some of the scenes feel a little rushed (blip theyre there, blip theyre gone) and its barely 30 minutes, but there are no commercials, the music is wonderful, I love the ocean scenes and the aquarium is a peaceful bonus. We got them when our son was 6 mos (now 1 yr) and I cant say hes riveted, but he does enjoy it and has a great deal of fun playing with us and the puppets. Maybe its not really educational, but it is entertaining and sometimes thats even better.

I cant believe he likes these already but he does. My son is two months old and he gets through about half of this video. That is pretty good for a two month old! I didnt think he would sit through it this young; but I tried it one day out of desperation when he was fussy and he settled down and watched it. He does sit through the whole Baby Van Gogh video. I think he will like this one better as he gets older and can comprehend what he is seeing. I think its great. He loves his Baby Einstein music CDs too.I recommend those too...

A GREAT DVD at a reasonable price that was shipped in a timely manner ... just doesnt get much better than that - a Christmas present for our granddaughter that she absolutely LOVES!

I love Baby Einstein products, but I was very disappointed with this one & glad I was able to take it out of the library before buying it! We are a bilingual family with some knowledge of a number of other languages. Even tho our son is only 5 months old - he cried through this entire volume. The pictures do not match the translations which can be very confusing for a child trying to actually catch on to a language. If this is just to hear other languages being spoken - Id rather take a bus. The pictures arent even the usual eye catching visuals & when counting is being done, its not even in sync with the picture. We were really looking forward to this item as a learning tool, but will be looking for other audio/visual methods. Unfortunately, there is not much out there. Overall, this was a good concept, but got lost in the translation

Bought this DVD for the grandkids to watch while they eat their snackie in their high chairs, and they all seem to love it. All the Baby Einstein videos really capture the kids attention, even if they seem dull and silly to the adults, they are well honed to captivate those young minds. My grandbabies, never take their eyes off of these movies, they are also the perfect length for little ones.

This would have been a two-star video, if I hadnt discovered the Aquarium segment in the bonus features. The main video manages to be both jarring and uninteresting to babies (and adults). There are some gorgeous scenes of sea life and flowing water and of course the toys. The scenes flash too quickly to engage even an infant, though, and the entire production is reduced to brain candy. Not nearly as well done as the pre-Disney videos produced by Julie Aigner-Clark. But if you skip directly to the Bonus Features, there is a segment called Aquarium, which consists of longer, more fluid clips that for some reason ended up on the cutting room floor. These clips are anchored by two lengthy scenes of a diver feeding aquarium fish, which captivated our 11-month-old and our 6-year-old alike. The longer, less teachy scenes are more evocative of the magic of earlier Baby Einstein videos. In my opinion, the music selections are better as well. So, feel free to rent or buy this video for your little one, even if an over-produced puppet-and-kid show isnt your cup of tea. Dont be dismayed when the main feature leaves you cold, though. Aquarium is well worth the price you pay for the entire DVD.

Great price, fast delivery, and its a video that my son watches over and over again. My 2 year old loves it!
