Baby Einstein - Baby Van Gogh - World of Colors [DVD]

This Baby Einstien DVD World of Colors, was just as described. The shipped was quick and I was very pleased with this transaction.

Boring and it skips and not in high def. rip off

They were entertaining for the baby.

I cant believe he likes these being so young, but he does. At two months old, he loves the different colors and stares at the TV the whole time. This one is really good. I sit with him and guide him a little, but he seems to respond to the colors and the music. This one is very musical. It has some talking in it too. I like the poems and, being an artist, I love how they use the VanGogh paintings to complement the color they are demonstrating.

We have a number of the Baby Einstein videos in our home, but Baby Van Gogh is our hands-down favorite. There are a number of segments on each of the basic colors, showing toys and nature photography that feature those colors. There are children also illustrating the colors (a little girl holding a lemon, boys holding a blue umbrella, etc.). Some of the other Baby Einstein videos feature only girls in live-action shots, but Baby Van Gogh has an even mix of boys and girls. I doubt my son really cares one way or the other, but I liked that aspect. The music featured in this video/DVD is also impressive. There are selections from some classical favorites like the William Tell Overture or Bolero. Its nice to have some variety, as opposed to an entire video of Bach or Mozart. Another thing that impressed me about this video is the artwork they use to further illustrate certain colors. For each color, they have a different painting by Van Gogh (Starry Night for blue, Sunflowers for Orange, and so on). This video brings together so many different aspects and blends them together seamlessly: art, nature, music. At the end of the video, there is also a segment that details the toys shown throughout the program and their manufacturer. So in case youre impressed with any of the items featured, you can buy them for yourself. Truly, this video more than any other provides a complete Baby Einstein experience. Its sure to be a favorite in any home.

This Einstein video is a great first step to learning colors. But when buying a B.E. video keep the following in mind and ask yourself, Is it really worth it?: Julie Clark likes to add her poems. Children dont typically appreciate poems, especially ones that dont make much sense. And as with every B.E. video, theres your occasional repeat clips that they use to fill the time, and of course those lovely 2-3 second black screens. Oh, not to mention my favorite...having to fast-forward through 2 previews, finally getting to the main menu, and then having to fast-forward through 3 more previews! I am so perplexed that Disney would feel the need to put SO MANY previews on EVERY SINGLE B.E. video (with the exception of 2 or 3, out of 15!). Theyre kids!! Theyre not interested in previews, and the parents dont need to see them every single day! Weve got impatient kids, WORK WITH US DISNEY!! Okay, done venting. This is why I give a rating of 2 stars. Im fed up with having to sit through previews on every video. By the way, why are we paying around $15 for DVDs that arent even full-length movies. Theyre 20 minutes long! (...and low-budge production to boot.) Its time to lower that outrageous price. Whos with me?!!

This is my sons absolute favorite, it engages his attention for about 2 hours at a time when I need to study. The Baby Beethoven didnt do it sadly enough but this one definitely has him crawling trying to get a hold of the figures in the t.v and hes only 5 months. He goes bananas during the intro when the cacti are dancing, he stops whatever hes doing and focuses on the cacti. He just loves this, if only the all the baby einstein dvds were this engaging i wouldnt have a problem buying them all but after my disappointment with baby beethoven, ill be more cautious in investing my money on just any baby einstein dvd.

The music is upbeat, the visuals stimulating. This is not a favorite however but definitely better than Baby Shakespeare and Baby Newton Discovering Shapes. Her favorites are: World Animal, Baby Noah, Neighborhood Animals, On the Go and Baby da Vinci. She seems to respond more to the DVDs that have some talking (such as saying the name of an animal, etc. )as opposed to the ones that have no talking like Baby Mozart. too much talking like Baby Shakespeare does not hold her interest. Baby Van Gogh does deserve 5 stars even though it is not a favorite of my daughters...yet.

My child at 4 months old watched this video on a trip to G-mas house (a 9 hour drive) Over that time he watched it 3 times (its about 20 minutes long). The first time through he would look at it and get excited occasionally but was not captivated. By the 3rd time he saw it, he was squealing with delight through the entire video.

This is my sons favorite Baby Einstein video. When he was 4 months old, he laughed out loud at Vincent Van Goat. Of course we limit the amount of time he is allowed to watch videos daily, but just 5 minutes of this DVD can bring him out of a crying fit to happy, calm baby. You could use this video as part of a bedtime routine or just as something new during the day. It would also make a great baby shower gift.
