> 3 dayMy daughter has enjoyed this since she was a couple of months old, and I feel comfortable letting her watch it. It will hold her attention the entire time, and she enjoys talking quietly to herself while hearing the variety of languages. (Shes 7 months) I wish the languages were directly related to the content of the pictures. I will still buy others from the series! My child doesnt see much other TV, so perhaps a child who watches a lot of TV would find this video less interesting than she does.

Greater than one weekThe creators of this DVD really know how to cater to baby minds. It has simplistic imagery (a mixture of nature scenes, puppets, real children and toys) gentle music, and minimal talking, which is just what babies can handle at a tender young age. My son (now 12 months) loves Baby Neptune and can watch it over and over again without getting bored. I find it better than some other Baby Einstein DVDs because of its simplicity and slow-pace. I highly recommend this DVD to parents trying to find an intro program for their young babies. My son did get scared the first two times or so from the puppet fish that pops up, but after that he was fine.

> 3 dayWhen my daughter (now 13 months old) was 2 months old, I bought the 10 pack of Baby Einstein videos. Theyve been great - its the only way to get a 30 minute break in the day and she loves them with the exception of this one. She cant watch more than 30 seconds of it without being bored and crawling away. And I cant say I blame her - it speaks in other languages, but doesnt translate, theres no way of knowing what language is being spoken at what time or what they are saying. If its confusing to an adult, what baby would get any value from it? The other Baby Einstein videos are ingenious, and I HIGHLY recommend them for fun and for learning. But skip this one unless your baby is interested in nonsense.

> 3 dayIt is very entertaining and I highly recommend it. It doesnt get boring to watch over and over because it has a lot of Baby Einstein puppet scenes in it, which my 9 month old twins enjoy watching. The baby turtle is the main character in it and my little boy smiles whenever there is a scene with it.

> 3 dayI give this DVD a luke warm review. It is certainly not the same caliber as Baby Mozart or even Baby Beethoven. My son was not as thrilled to view it, personally I think they should have added more puppetry than computer graphics. I could have even dealt with seeing Aspen and Sierra (who, by the way are not in this) than I could deal with spotting the hidden mickeys or the not so subtle shot of Epcot. Unfortunately, the Baby Einstein magic has been lost by Disney.

> 3 dayMy daughter has all of the Baby Einstein DVDs, and this is one that she prefers. The music is very good and the photography is also first rate. Additionally, it does not feature any one thing for too long, which keeps her attention. Very good.

Greater than one weekIve watched 15 Baby Einstein dvds and theres only four that I like. Baby Neptune ~ Discovering Water happens to be one of them. The others Id recommend are Baby Galileo (sky), Baby Newton (shapes) and Numbers Nursery (1 - 5). When I first saw Baby Neptune I was so surprised. It was so different then most of the Baby Einstein videos that show toys and spinning things. This one actually shows beautiful real live video of things in nature such as dolphins, waterfalls, waves, zooming above the ocean, underwater scenes, etc. It shows water in these catagories: Water In The Oceans, Water At The Beach, Water In Rivers & Lakes , Water In Raindrops & Puddles and Water At My House. This video actually has cute puppets (I usually dont like the Baby Einstein puppets). I could still do without all the toys and spinning & rocking things (they still have some of that in here). My little girl (about 17 months at the time of first watching this) laughed when the puppets came on and she liked when they showed the baby. One really great feature on the dvd is the Aquarium found in the bonus features. It shows a diver under the water feeding fish. The fish are really neat and you hear nice music, waves and bubbling water. The Aquarium lasts almost 14 minutes. This nice feature may be missing from the vhs version, which would be a shame. I have many other reviews for kids videos.

> 3 dayI always swore I wouldnt put my kids in front of the TV, but this video has been a lifesaver! My husband travels a lot so when its time to get my sons bath ready I put him in his bouncy seat in front of baby Neptune for 15 minutes. He loves watching the different clips, and the puppets are his favorite. I also like that their website sends you in the right direction to find the toys featured in the video, just in case your little one really takes to one of the toys.

Greater than one weekThis is my daughters favorite dvd/video that we own- of this series we have Baby Mozart, Galileo and Neptune- she is 16 mos old and has loved it from her 1st viewing a few months ago. I really enjoy it too- the water scenes are soothing and the music is good. She definitely prefers it to the other two we have, but is pretty mesmerized by those too. I give it 4 out of 5 only because I think they could have done more scenes from home and for the puddles segment- and it could be a little longer. Usually we watch it 2-3 times in a row, althought it does have the repeat play option on the dvd which is nice. I also like the bonus footage of the guy in the aquarium tank-
