Baby Einstein - Baby Noah - Animal Expedition [DVD]

fabulous concept: showing (ostensibly american) children the world of animal diversity, by visiting different climatic regions. a fitting subject for the baby einstein genre. so what historical genius traveled the world, discovering and documenting the diversity of animal life? thats right: darwin. but beyond disneys fear of a subject controversial only to the uneducated, this video is a big hit with my kids. the two main pluses are the diversity of animals it shows, and the monologue seems sufficiently subdued to allow me to do the naming and explaining to them (although i have a hard time explaining why an elephant is refereeing an ice block race between two penguins).

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!

Works great! Baby Einstein is the only program that gets my twin 12 month olds attention and they practically dont move for the whole show! This has been their favorite since they were 6 months old.

I have the Baby Beethoven and Baby Mozart - they are still great, but especially when my daughter was 7-12 months. We bought Baby Noah for her 1-year birthday and she LOVES it, and when we watch Beethoven and Mozart I almost feel like shes already outgrown them. This one is definitely a little more advanced - for a slightly older child. The music is great because its stuff that an adult would like to listen to also - it doesnt get on my nerves like the other 2 DVDs did after a while. For example, when they play the music for the Tropics, its steel drum and so catchy. My daughter is fascinated by this one, and gives me a great time out for a few minutes if I need to run do something (baby is safely in her play yard, of course!) If you buy this DVD - you wont be sorry!

My 9 mo old daugther is really into animals so of course she loves this DVD. I think it is a wonderful introduction to different types of animals from all around the world. In fact that is all it is: an introduction to animals.- I think it is wrong of the Baby Einstein company to use the name from the bible story Noahs Ark without telling the story- They just show the animals floating around on an ark. (no reason given - no Noah - no storyline!) They even have dolphins on the ark -which I think is ridiculous- being that Dolphins would not have been on the ark in the first place-since they live in the water! Anyways all in all like I said, my child likes this DVD but I am not that impressed. I mean, I know no one likes to push religion but if you have the nerve to use the name Baby Noah -at least tell the story! We own a lot of the Baby Einstein DVDs and have always been happy with them- but I guess I was just let down with this one.

We have Baby Einsteins World Animals and Neighborhood Animals and, if you have those two, you have Baby Noah and better. I agree with folks who said that the premise is silly - whod put dolphins in an arc and let them float around? The puppeteering has really gotten unimaginative since Disney took over. I also cant stand the Disney commercials that are included within the story portion either. Get World Animals and Neighborhood Animals instead. Much better.

I thought Baby Noah was great! It had cute pictures of the animals and it summarized each one at the end. OK so it had some promos but hey my kid skipped right over that and was following along to the cute skits the puppets put on.

Baby Noah features the best of Baby Einsteins signature filmmaking. My daughter loved the Animals of the Savannah section of the film, and my son loved the entire movie. Its a very soothing movie to watch before bedtime, especially if you like a little quiet time before starting the bedtime routine. Id give this movie ten stars if it were possible.

My 18 month old is big into animals right now and this is one of her favorite Baby Einstein movies to watch. Se does all of the animal signs and I like that some of the footage is of real animals in their natural habitats. She gets very excited over this footage. I like the combination of pictures, descriptions, music and vocabulary used in this movie. Unlike other Baby Einstein videos I like that there is less of the puppet scenes, which my little one loses interest in very quickly. I recommend this movie if your little one has just gotten interested in animals. It is like a trip to the zoo in your living room. This is one of my favorite Baby Einstein videos. My nephew responds similarly to my daughter.

I have all of them. I buy Baby Enstein for most new families, but this (Noah) and Newton are just over Disneyed! Noah even has promotions, ads and previews. Might as well sign them up for a Disney credit card. The show isnt that bad, but I cannot accept what they have done to a once beautiful childs learning tool.
