Baby Einstein - Baby Neptune - Discovering Water [DVD]

My daughter loves these!

I was very disappointed in this video. I am sorry that when I bought the video for my granddaughter I only read the first couple reviews (which were positive) and did not get to the ones that criticized it. A very poor video and now Ive had three babies with their perspective parents watch it and they ALL feel the same. I might add that these were all parents who are college graduates--an attorney, an accountant, an engineer and a teacher included. I would not recommend this video.

I love ALL the Baby Einstein videos. They have given me time to do things around my home while my daughter is entertained. Ive also enjoyed watching with her. The older she gets the more certain scenes will delight her. This is our new favorite. It immediately catches her attention by showing stuffed animals at the beach, before the opening credits. It continues on in various water play and delights her when a game of peekaboo is played.....her favorite game to play with us. It is brighter and more entertaining than the rest. The series improves with each video. Im only sorry I didnt get the DVD. The repeat play feature is a godsend. I have numerous videos from this series and her running fave was Van Gogh until we got this one. Im definitely glad since I was tired of that one already. My daughter is 5 months old now. The age recommendations have never mattered since she enjoys even the ones labeled for 1 year olds. I would definitely recommend this one for mothers. If youve never tried any of these videos, Baby Mozart is a good starter. This one is a close second.

I had purchased Baby Mozart for my 4th child when he was 6 months old. He always enjoyed this video. When my 5th child was born we shared the video with her. She enjoyed it with the same enthusiam as her brother did. At 9 months I decided she needed some more of these videos...some variety. I selected Baby Einstein next. I really didnt compare it to all of the others before purchase...I wish I had. We enthusiastically put it in and my daughter did not react as enthusiastically as she always had with Baby Mozart. The language was boring in comparison to all the music and unique sounds on Baby Mozart. Immediately we purchased Baby Bach and my daughter was delighted! We alternate between Baby Bach and Baby Mozart, which are similar, but different. Ocasionally I will put Baby Einstein in for a change of pace. After reading the various reviews, I look forward to receiving other videos in the series to give my children a wider range of variety.

I had heard great things about the whole series of these videos, so I purchased this one...unfortunatly. It is just a bunch of foreign language babble...I would have thought they would have at the very least, had subtitles so the parents could explain to their children what was being said. The pictures on the screen didnt even correspond with what was being said (I know this from when they would talk in English). At one point they were counting in different languages and taking away blocks...but they would only take away 1 block for every 4 or 5 numbers....would be real confusing for a child learning to count. We didnt even watch the whole thing...only made it about 15 minutes through and my daughter hadnt even so much as glanced up at it...not to mention my complete disapointment in it. If I were to do something of this nature I would have, for instance, showed a picture of a horse...and said the word horse in all the different languages...that way you know what is being said. I dont know what good it does to just hear different languages being babbled, if you have no idea or indication as to what is being said. I would NOT recomend this to anyone.

purchased Vol. 1 which is a series of 6 Baby Einstein DVDs (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Neptune, World Animals, Neighborhood Animals)for my baby when she was a newborn. She is now 17 months old, and she has never cared for any of them EXCEPT for the Neighborhood Animals DVD which depicts scenes of familiar animals like cows, horses, cats, dogs, etc. She really loves the part when they sing Old MacDonald. Baby Neptune is downright boring. They show the same things over and over, like the same ocean scene. I think overall the Baby Einstein series is over-rated. I could put on a better puppet show myself using the toys in my living room. I think a lot of folks, including myself, were intrigued by the catchy Baby Einstein name, because we all want to raise little Einsteins. Im sure the folks at Baby Einstein are laughing all the way to the bank! I havent seen some of the other titles like Van Gogh, Numbers Nursery, Shakespeare, etc., so I dont know if these are any better, but with all the money im out on Vol.1, I wont be giving Baby Einstein another chance. We much prefer the Brainy Baby and Babys First Impressions (predecessor of the Brainy Baby series) series of products. But, to each his own.

Wow, it seems quite a few of you have some really strong negative opinions about Baby Einstein Language Nursery! I have to say, Im shocked! My 10 month old daughter is just fascinated with this dvd, Ive actually replayed it several times in a row for her while she was teething, because it was the ONLY thing that would make her smile! I think that the imagery is perfect for kids of any age. Its simple with a stark background, sure to hold a babys attention. When you have too much going on visually, it can detract from the learning process. I will admit, the same as another reviewer that I did, at first, double check my language settings when I heard German with no English translation. The songs, number counting, and rhymes are soothing, and I find myself anxious to watch the dvd with my little one. One reviewer commented that we, as parents cant figure out what is being said. First of all, when WE learned our native lanuages, we didnt always have a ball in front of us when someone said the word. This is how we learn the language. And just because us parents may not be able to translate a German nursery rhyme, doesnt mean that hearing it is entirely lost on our kids! And its not too difficult to figure out the difference between the German alphabet and 1-20 in Japanese. (use your fingers, if you need to!) Ive learned both from watching this video, and rekindled my love of foreign languages. I am now studying Japanese and German, and already speak French, English, and Spanish. This is both mine and my daughters favorite of the Baby Einstein collection, and we love them all!

This video is wonderful! I was sure that Jesica, being only 4 months old, would have no interest in this video as she doesnt with most everything else on television. But this video is very exciting to her. She will talk to the objects she sees. I am very proud to have this for her and look forward to getting Baby Bach and Baby Mozart to switch them out for variety.

This DVD is wonderful. My 20 month old daughter is absolutely fascinated by this DVD. It is beautifully filmed and the characters are colorful and entertaining. The music is refreshing and its so easy to follow. This DVD would not be enjoyed by a 12-15 month old though. I think it should be for 18m+. Buy it, you will not be disappointed. Also the DVD extras are great...the aquarium and activities are even stimulating! A++++

He loves Baby Motzart, and Baby Monet but this one he doesnt like at all, in fact it scares him. I cant tell you why but this one gets a thumbs down.
