Is there less than one star?
So many parents have raved to me about these DVDs! They say you have to try it! So I bought Baby Mozart, but my twin girls absolutely hate it! I tried it around 3 months the first time and then maybe 5 months, & 8 mo, at 10 months it's a coaster. They still hate it. It IS really boring. It's pretty bad when you can bore a 3 mo old! It's basically different toys moving around, stuffed animals, and what looks to me like those executive desk toys going back and forth. Super boring, and pretty short. I expected much more from all the rave reviews... and so did my twins! I wish I never bought it. 3 thumbs down over here!!

Baby Mozart DVD
Great DVD...my son has enjoyed it since he was 3 months old--he is 16 months now. His appreciation has changed as he ages---where as before he enjoyed just the music, he now enjoys the images. He is now predicting what comes next..Great DVD>

Formulaic, but effective as entertainment
I purchased this video after my daughter (now 14 months) received the Baby Bach video as a gift when she was 10 months old. It is very similiar to the Baby Bach video in having a somewhat amateur feel to the production, although we are spared the use of live action children in this video. Using the tried and true formula they developed, the Baby Einstein Company uses toys, puppets and videos of things like candles, as well as still images of things like food to visually stimulate children while listening to "baby friendly" classical music. It's entertaining, but I'm not sure it teaches much except how to watch television. For example there are segments devoted to some swirling beads and other items in liquid that I am at a loss to explain except in terms of interesting color combinations. This and some of the other objects shown are in the category I would describe as 'executive desk toys' and the repetitive motion at first will get my daughter's interest, but she soon settles into a blank stare. I watch the video with my daughter and I label the things she sees to the best of my ability. I point out colors, shapes, movement etc. but she is more subdued during this video than for example, Baby Shakespeare. The video is for children from ages 1 to 36 months. I think this age range is too broad. There are some loud noises in this video, which I understand are to bring your child's attention back to the TV. However, if your young baby is easily startled, they could be frightening. Further, because of the repetitive aspect of the images, I'm not sure this video has staying power for older children. For the present, my daughter will sit through this video with me. Is she learning anything? I don't know. Is she entertained? Yes.
