Baby Einstein - Baby Noah - Animal Expedition [DVD]

In all honesty, we didnt have to buy this video, it was given to us. But, my judge of a good video is if I would buy it for our family, spending our hard earned money, if it wasnt given to us. The answer here is an emphatic yes. The video is cute, it includes animals grouped into regions, rainforest, savannah, etc. It presents the animals in various forms, puppets, toys, real video and pictures. My son who is 15 months loves to watch it. Although I do think it is a bit long, running time around 30 minutes+ which is a bit long to sit a kid of his age in front of a video without feeling guilty. Some of the other videos in the Baby Einstein collection are a bit shorter (20-25 min) which I think would be a good limit for all kid videos, since Im not a supporter of having videos babysit your kids. The video isnt going to win any awards for directing or screen play - but come on, its a kids video afterall!

I own most of the Baby Einstein for my 19 month old son. First of all, I never like that after you press play, you still have to sit through the caterpillar walking, the DVD letters and so on after just seeing it when the DVD loads. Now, to top it off, they made Baby Noah, with a preview for a new show, and a ad at the end also. What makes them think that kids want to sit through this? Also, this video has more time showing you drawn pictures of a lift the flap book, than anything else. Not a favorite.

I bought this for my son when he was 9 mos. old, and it was a little over his head. But once he hit about a year, he LOVED it. Its still, at 20 mos., one of his faves. I enjoy watching it, too... the music is wonderful, the live animal footage is beautiful, and the puppet sequences are charming. This is our favorite to put on at the end of a hectic day when we need something to slow down the pace. Dim the lights, cuddle on the couch, put on Baby Noah, and we all instantly unwind. In addition to being entertaining and soothing, my son has learned the names of all the animals (its too funny to hear a toddler say flamingo!) and it really seems to help foster his love of animals. Highly recommended!

Did not like the commercials for the new baby Einstein series that Disney is creating at the beginning of the DVD. We did find a way to skip through those, but we should not have to. Blatant advertising for other kids items should not be on a DVD intended for children to watch over and over again as the kids will then want the advertised video ( which is what the marketers and advertisers want of course). I did enjoy the overall content along with my 3 year old and my 2 year old (who received this on his second birthday).

My 9 month old loves this video. We had Mozart, Beethoven and Santa (DO NOT buy) already. This one is a lot different because there is actually moving footage of the animals with great music. He is too young to get into the animal naming parts, so he gets bored then, but whenever the puppets or the music come on he is mesmerized. The DVD says its for older children, so maybe naming the animals wont be as boring for him in a few months. I like watching it with him. Id give the DVD 5 stars, but Disney is completely shameless in placing ads at the beginning and end of the DVD during the first play. I vow not to buy another with this sort of advertising no matter how good they say it is.

My grandsons have loved growing up with Baby Einstein. They watch them over and over and over. I have had to replace several of them from being loved so much. They have learned their animals, colors, counting, etc. Yes, there are times when they sat alone watching them but most of the time I am right there with the watching them, commenting on them, going over what they are learning. We dance with the music. Kids learn well with music which keeps their interest. These are well worth whatever you have to pay for them.

Great trade thank you. Received as expected and in good condition....considering distance travelled. Thank you thank you Thank you. Would trade again.

I see that other people also agree with me that this DVD was disappointing because it implied that the story of Noah would be told but reallly there was no Noah, just animals. I really wanted the have the Bible story with the animals for my baby and felt misled by the title. Ive since discovered an interesting new line called Baby Miracle and there is a Noahs Ark DVD with brilliant graphics that tell the story of Noah. My baby loves the cute music and puppets!

We have a number of Baby Einstein videos, but this one my daughter loved immediately. I like the lift-the-flap format and the music is enjoyable. She has said many new animal names since watching this.

We have all the Baby Einstein Videos and this is my sons favorite! He laughs every time it comes on. He is 14 months old and is really into animals. I highly recommend this one!
