Baby Einstein - Baby Neptune - Discovering Water [DVD]

My four-month-old loves his other Baby Einstein DVDs -- he enjoys hearing the music and watching the colors, shapes, and motion. At first he would just stare in amazement at the screen; now he laughes and talks to the screen. I expected that he would like Baby Neptune as well. He gets so excited when he sees the green FBI warning, knowing that one of his movies is beginning. He watched the first few minutes of Baby Neptune and then started screaming. Instead of the lovely music, shapes, and colors like other Baby Einstein videos, Baby Neptune has real life footage -- children playing in a puddle of water, a whale jumping out of the sea, etc. Definitely not so exciting to a four month old. So Ill try again when hes a bit older.

My baby started watching this when he was 3 months old and just loves it! I wish I had gotten it even sooner! It shows bright colorful images which really caught his attention. Counting and nursery rhymes are recited in numerous foreign languages. After watching it for just a few days, he recognized certain parts and he smiled, laughed and screeched in delight! A month later I began repeating the nursery rhymes and counting and he thought that was great too. Julie Clark, the creator of this video, had taped her daughter on this video at the end and I think my son is in love with her, he always smiles when she appears. She has put out 2 other videos called Baby Bach and Baby Mozart which are also fabulous! No, Im not getting paid to write this, its just that my son enjoys these so much I just had to share my opinion. He is 8 months old now and still loves them! The price of the video on www.amazon.com is great, I paid a lot more for them at the mall.

... This was our first Baby Einstein since Disney took over. And my 1 year old enjoyed it quite a bit. I did notice some of the water scenes with the pupptets looked digitally enhanced . . . simulated water? But I did like the real life segments quite a bit. The music was well done and not grating on the nerves like a lot of other videos that are not in this series. We still think Baby Van Gogh is the best. But this is a fun change of pace.

looked awesome and worked just fine and price was great, quality was great too, would purchase from again in future

We are relative newcomers to the Baby Einstein revolution. My twins were 15 months before we bought their first one - Baby Beethoven. We just recently purchased Baby Neptune and Baby Galileo. This is a fine DVD with wonderful music, but it just doesnt hold the attention of my boys the way Baby Beethoven does. I begin to wonder if kids dont just attach to the first Baby Einstein video/DVD they get and thats always their favorite... This is a bit shorter, and my kids seem to especially like the scenes in Beethoven with the kinetic toys, which are not as evident here. Always keep in mind as parents watching the Baby Einstein series that the images are for the KIDS and not the parents - yes, I find them a tad boring, but the boys love them, and thats what is important! I like the special features on this DVD, including the discovery cards and the cd-ROM coloring book. These are nice extras. All in all, a fine video - and as I said, not my kids favorite, but not the one theyre most familiar with, either.

We own quite a few of the Baby Einstein series, so when I saw this in the store last week, I scooped it up, thinking wow, weve not seen this one before!. While the theme is clever and its a neat concept, this one did not seem to have as much attention grabbing music and viewables as some of its predecessors. Since my daughter is now 9 months old and loves to play in the tub, I thought this would be a big hit. She does enjoy Baby Neptune and will continue to watch it, but its not as wow as I thought it might be. I do like the fact that there is an aquarium selection on the DVD, which was kind of neat, but all in all, well take Baby Van Gogh or Baby Mozart, if given a choice.

My daughter has all of the Baby Einstein DVDs, and this is one that she prefers. The music is very good and the photography is also first rate. Additionally, it does not feature any one thing for too long, which keeps her attention. Very good.

My daughter bought this video for her first child as an infant! Then sold it at a garage sale when her daughter outgrew it!! Five years later a surprise daughter was born, and I bought the video for the second daughter because the first one had enjoyed it soooo much!!

When my daughter (now 13 months old) was 2 months old, I bought the 10 pack of Baby Einstein videos. Theyve been great - its the only way to get a 30 minute break in the day and she loves them with the exception of this one. She cant watch more than 30 seconds of it without being bored and crawling away. And I cant say I blame her - it speaks in other languages, but doesnt translate, theres no way of knowing what language is being spoken at what time or what they are saying. If its confusing to an adult, what baby would get any value from it? The other Baby Einstein videos are ingenious, and I HIGHLY recommend them for fun and for learning. But skip this one unless your baby is interested in nonsense.

great
