Baby Einstein - Baby Neptune - Discovering Water [DVD]

I don’t really think it’s anyone’s fault..... however I was disappointed that although this was in a dvd case and the disc was in good condition....it was a Soundtrack cd and NOT a movie as it was supposed to be.

Wow, it seems quite a few of you have some really strong negative opinions about Baby Einstein Language Nursery! I have to say, Im shocked! My 10 month old daughter is just fascinated with this dvd, Ive actually replayed it several times in a row for her while she was teething, because it was the ONLY thing that would make her smile! I think that the imagery is perfect for kids of any age. Its simple with a stark background, sure to hold a babys attention. When you have too much going on visually, it can detract from the learning process. I will admit, the same as another reviewer that I did, at first, double check my language settings when I heard German with no English translation. The songs, number counting, and rhymes are soothing, and I find myself anxious to watch the dvd with my little one. One reviewer commented that we, as parents cant figure out what is being said. First of all, when WE learned our native lanuages, we didnt always have a ball in front of us when someone said the word. This is how we learn the language. And just because us parents may not be able to translate a German nursery rhyme, doesnt mean that hearing it is entirely lost on our kids! And its not too difficult to figure out the difference between the German alphabet and 1-20 in Japanese. (use your fingers, if you need to!) Ive learned both from watching this video, and rekindled my love of foreign languages. I am now studying Japanese and German, and already speak French, English, and Spanish. This is both mine and my daughters favorite of the Baby Einstein collection, and we love them all!

She is 2 1/2 and will still ask for the movie where the animals jump in the water she is verbal! :) She loved lots of the Baby Einstein dvds when she was an infant. This is the only one she still loves.

This DVD is wonderful. My 20 month old daughter is absolutely fascinated by this DVD. It is beautifully filmed and the characters are colorful and entertaining. The music is refreshing and its so easy to follow. This DVD would not be enjoyed by a 12-15 month old though. I think it should be for 18m+. Buy it, you will not be disappointed. Also the DVD extras are great...the aquarium and activities are even stimulating! A++++

Picked up Baby Neptune DVD on the March 18 release date - early 1st birthday present for my daughter (she was reaching for Enimems 8 Mile but a little too young for that). As she was having a fussy spell when we got home, we immediately put it in and watched her grin ear to ear when she saw/heard the Einstein bug coming! Definately for the 9+ month old child as Baby Einstein suggests ... but extremely cute. We are big fans of the new Baby Beethoven DVD - but Neptune is a great one too, also more educational. My husband and I previewed it with my daughter over dinner, and were totally amazed by the footage of the marine life (we are both scuba divers). Cute turtle and octopus puppets as usual and for those who dont like the videos with Julie Aigners kids (why I am not sure), as far as I saw, theyre not in Neptune. There are more chances than ever to teach toddlers things in this one too, its one that is enjoyable to watch with your baby - the marine life is fascinating - very clear photography. Only downside was the DVD menu that plays the same song over and over, which will drive a parent nuts. The bonus material has an aquarium of a white haired scuba diver feeding fish and closeups of marine life which was really cute too ... more teachable moments (lobster, underside of an octopus, sea horses, things I never get to see diving!!) and other great animal footage!! I have loved Baby Einstein products since my daughter first watched them at 4 weeks old, and I think toddlers will enjoy Neptune a lot. Great way to teach them to appreciate marine life they may not get to see until they are older.

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.

We love all of the Baby Einstein series. Our little one loves this one the best. Very cute puppet sequences. We love the picaboo part!

Educational entertainment is best and my Granddaughter loved these. Music and filming is perfect. Weve watched it over and over.

This video is great, a little shorter then other baby einstein movies at about 27 minutes. It more about water and its different forms then it is about animals in the water. Waves, rain, puddles, etc...

Its good, though the least amusing of the whole collection. If it does help them to get used to different languages, Ill never know, but in the meantime, though he does like it, he is far less interested in it than the other BabyEinstein videos. The images are slower, action doesnt match music... How come in spanish they only count up to 10?
