Baby Einstein - Baby Noah - Animal Expedition [DVD]

I bought the Baby Einstein for my son who is 5 months old. This particular DVD says it is recommended for babies 9 months and above. However, my son has always seemed advanced so I thought Id start him early. The DVD seems a little complicated for a baby of any age. I watched the entire thing with him. It has too many different types of scenarios going on. At one point it shows live, real people then it switches to puppets, then to cartoons, then back to animals. There is no consistency to the video or the dialogue. It seems to just be a bunch of thoughts put together in no particular order. I believe it does have some great footage of animals on the video. However, the entire video itself does not seem to flow together. My son was very interested in the puppets and cartoon animation but not so much of the other stuff. I have heard this from other people as well. Also, for the quality and content of the video it seems overpriced. We received the other videos in the collection for Christmas so hopefully the rest of the collection will be better than this one was.

The little one loves this DVD... watches it over and over..

My Grandchildren love this DVD. There are so many animals other than the usual ones kids know. My daughter says it is one of the best Baby Einstein DVDs out there.

This video is not bad. My 2 1/2 year old likes all the animal groups it goes thru. Yes there is a lack of story line and not a mention of Noah in it but we bought it for the animals not a Bible lesson.

the dvd stops in mid point, very disappointed

I dont really like this dvd. I dont care for the narrators voice (Julie Clark). Each time she says the word animal (which she says alot) it sounds like she is saying ain-i-mal...its just very annoying to me. This video shows animals from the savannah, rain forest, ocean, the outback, and polar regions. I borrowed this from the library and each segment begins with a drawing of a habitat and then it zooms in and shows a drawing of an animal half hidden. Then a door opens and you see the animal. They dont say what the animal is. Then they show live action of the animal. Then they show the door again and this is where I think they say the name of the animal. I remember a lot of zooming in and out for the doors and it is very, very slow. There are much better videos about animals. Brainy Baby Animals is better, Your Tiny Jungle Tot is better (see my reviews for those). On the main menu of the dvd it has about Baby Einstein and these moms are saying things like, invaluable, dont know what we would have done without it. etc. I dont get it. Baby Einstein is way too over-rated, in my opinion. Ive seen about 16 of them and have only liked Baby Neptune, Baby Galileo, Baby Newton & Numbers Nursery. I have written reviews for these also as well as many other childrens videos. Please read my reviews.

I bought this for my son when he was 9 mos. old, and it was a little over his head. But once he hit about a year, he LOVED it. Its still, at 20 mos., one of his faves. I enjoy watching it, too... the music is wonderful, the live animal footage is beautiful, and the puppet sequences are charming. This is our favorite to put on at the end of a hectic day when we need something to slow down the pace. Dim the lights, cuddle on the couch, put on Baby Noah, and we all instantly unwind. In addition to being entertaining and soothing, my son has learned the names of all the animals (its too funny to hear a toddler say flamingo!) and it really seems to help foster his love of animals. Highly recommended!

My son has had this one since he was very small and hes always loved it. Hes two now and hes still into it so thats awesome! Its fun to watch with all his favorite animals in it. I love it

My son absoutly loves it. He can already say animals he didnt know before. It is the first baby einstine hes actualy asked for by name. The rest he just says Einstine. Zachs Mom

My 19 month old daughter just got into this DVD. Id reccomend it if youre looking for a baby einstein DVD for a toddler. Its very relaxing for her and me!
