Baby Einstein - Baby Beethoven - Symphony of Fun

My baby loved this! Came in perfect condition

Im not going to go into a lot of details but this video is great! I dont get it, how something so simple can totally captivate a child but it just does. When my younger grandkids come over they become mesmerized whenever I turn it on. We own six of the Baby Einstein videos but this seems to be the favorite at our house. This is wonderful for some peace and quiet, it really calms them all down for a while when they are getting out of hand.

I didnt have much faith that these videos would actually capture the interest my four month old. I was SO wrong. It really grabs his attention and, I hate to say it, allows me at least 27 minutes to get myself ready for the day (or type this review!). My only problem with the video is the advertising at the beginning (about 4 to 5 minutes worth). Advertisements should be left until the very end, NOT the beginning when you just want to pop it in and have your child sit to watch it. Not only are the advertisments LOOOONNNG, you CANT FAST FORWARD OR SKIP THEM!!! Disney was very selfish when they shoved their ads on us this way. The same holds true for every other Baby Einstein video I have. ANNOYING!

Not the first time Ive given it as a new baby gift. I like to think that it helps brain development.

This follows the same format as most of the Baby Einstein videos with lots of toys, kids playing, shiny colorful spinning things, puppets making noises, photos of babies, etc. The only thing I even somewhat liked was the magnetic Hide n Seek Doors (that was kind of a cool toy) and the colored oil in water. There are no words spoken. I wouldnt recommend it. Get some good music cds if you want your baby exposed to symphonies. If you really want to get some Baby Einstein dvds then the only ones I personally like are Baby Neptune (water), Baby Galileo (sky), Baby Newton (shapes) & Numbers Nursery (1 - 5). All the rest are definitely not worth it, in my opinion. I have written reviews for the ones I like that I just listed and many others. Please read my reviews.

My little girl loves this DVD. Great music and animation. Its a must have for babies with busy Moms. Highly reccomended.

THANKS

My baby loves it, therefore I love it. And it plays beautiful music and is such a great learning tool.

Used product-risky purchase. DVD works great. Packaging was obviously worn from use.

Accidently ordered the Spanish version
