Greater than one weekI really like these videos. My daughter is 28-months old and diagnosed with autism. She will only sit for 10 minutes to Book of Pooh, The Wiggles, Rolie Polie Olie and Kipper videos. I thought Id give these a try after all Ive read about them in childrens magazines. I think the best two in this series is the animal ones: Neighborhood and World Animals, but this one is very good as well. In this video there are toys in motion to Mozart music. The toys are stuffed animals, trains, action toys like pound-a-ball and a silly sequence of pictures of fruit to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (I wonder why they chose fruit?) The motion of the toys fits very well to the music, which is superb. I am surprised my daughter will sit the entire 25 minutes to this tape. I think the quality of these Baby Einstein videos is remarkable. Very entertaining and fun for the whole family.

> 3 dayI have bought 3 Baby Einstein dvds for our 7 month old grandson. He likes all of them but for some reason Baby Mozart has been his favorite. He is mesmerized by it. My husband and I marvel at how it grabs his attention for the entire show. It meant so much to us when we were babysitting him recently and with a head cold he couldnt breath well, get comfortable or sleep. My husband popped this in and like magic, it grabbed him. He calmed down and watched one and a half times until mom and dad picked him up. It had a calming effect. And I have to admit, Im mesmerized by it, too! Thank you Baby Einstein.

Greater than one weekBaby Mozart is truly great! We started my son watching it at 2 mos, and at 10 months he will still sit for the 30 minutes or so completely occupied. I run an in-home day care, and the other children all love this too...even the 5 year old! Weve tried others in the Baby Einstein line, and have come to the conclusion that Baby Mozart is the best of the lot. The other videos tend to cut back and forth more, which doesnt hold the kids interest as much. As soon as the children hear the intro to Baby Mozart, they settle down and watch, talk about their favorite toy shown, and giggle at the puppet that sticks his tongue out. What a lifesaver....I know I wouldnt be able to keep my sanity without this video. Kudos for Baby Mozart!

> 3 dayI cannot believe these masterpieces have so many positive reviews!!! I watched two of them: Baby Mozart and Baby Beethoven. First of all, they are totally retarded. Here is what is being shown with the synthesized music in the background: extremely ugly toys (I wonder where can one even unearth such treasures?); stupid and also ugly puppets that make unrealistic sounds (the lion barking?..); the spinning mobiles that make everyone dizzy; pictures of fruit and vegetables on a black background; and the only remotely educational part where some faceless hands build something like a stacker. Second, the quality of all this nonsense is as of an amateur home video. There are little animations between the parts of the movie - and even they look cheap, ugly, and unprofessional. On the top of that, the same toys were reused in both videos. According to the product description, these creations are supposed to introduce your little one to the splendor and delight of Mozarts classical music with visually stimulating real-world objects. Are those images what they call real-world objects?? Poor infants, they must be seriously confused - probably this is why some of them are mesmerized while watching this DVDs. When we sat down with my 5 months old daughter to watch Baby Mozart, she stared at it for couple of minutes with a puzzled look, then turned to me with the question in her eyes: Mommy, why in the world are you showing this to me? Maybe lets better watch Colbert Report? Let me say this in Russian for those who can read: Duryat nashego brata! (Brothers, we are being fooled!)

Greater than one weekI felt chastened to think I could give a watered-down -sweetened version of Mozart to a baby whoses parents are musicians. Rock musicians at that. And then my classical pianist friend who is also a grandmother said, well what did you expect. This is infant muzak. infants respond to the full richness of the instruments for which the music was written. I have 2 more unopened Baby Einstein CDs. Can I return them?

> 3 dayNothing new. Its your typical Baby Einstein. With Backyardigans, Dora, Blues Clues, Little Einsteins, and other interactive cartoons, Baby Einstein doesnt really offer anything. With todays technology and computers for families, I almost feel I could make a video of the same caliber that would offer more images for my children to relate to.

> 3 dayI bought this DVD used, but it works great with no problems. We used this same program on VHS previously with our first son, who loved it. Our second son is now watching it, and it seems to hold his attention and interest. I dont know if it really is doing anything for his brain, but it keeps him happy for a few minutes to give us time to clean up the house or prepare a meal.
