Baby Einstein - Baby Neptune - Discovering Water [VHS]

My ups man is amazing

I was really impressed with the beautiful scenes of... just water!! Who would have ever thought scenes of water would engage a baby (we have a 9-month-old) and show so creatively. There are scenes of geysers, waterfalls, rain, puddles, waves, lakes, and streams. As well as children jumping in puddles wearing raincoats and whales and dolphins diving in and out of the water. Then of course the Baby Einstein puppets play with water by watering gardens and playing jokes on one another.My daughter absolutely adores all the animal Baby Einsteins, so I was glad to find one of a different concept. These dvds have been a lifesaver to me for my highly active baby (aren't most?), who can barely sit still for a few bites in her high chair nor before naps and bedtime. She eats a meal now and falls asleep peacefully to the videos. Then they are excellent background music during play times.The only major disappoint I have found is "Baby Galileo." However, all the animals ones (MacDonald and Neighborhood Animals) are necessities in our house and the absolute favorites!

I found Baby Neptune to be one of the better Einstein videos. No annoying scenes of Julie's children trying to be cutesy (something that was a problem in Baby Bach), and plenty of "action" that keeps baby intrigued. I didn't find the frequent change of scenery bothersome, more importantly my baby didn't seem to have a problem with it.The music is enjoyable as usual, the puppets were fun to watch, they even brought back the silly duck with the red scarf that was featured in Baby Beethoven. It's great to see your baby recognize the characters from previous releases.There were children interlaced throughout, but nothing like Baby Santa or Baby Bach. You can tell Disney is trying to fine-tune the videos / DVD, and they did a good job with this one. This has a great balance of beautiful scenery, fun and silly toys, and nice music. I give this a thumbs up.

My daughter's 3 1/2 and STILL loves every one of these baby Einstein videos! Some of the best money spent in my opinion. And I gotta tell ya-I'm not really one to purchase used items of any kind, but since these videos are so dang expensive, I decided to try an alternate route and buy "pre owned" movies that are listed by well-rated companies and I swear to you I've saved a lot of money with this one trick! I highly suggest you all do the same. There's some very reputable companies out there that sell these movies for a heck of a lot cheaper.

Of the things that buy me a moment of peace, this is in the Top 10. I'm not a big TV person and feel a little guilty about putting him in front of the tube, but the B.E. videos are an almost perfect compromise. Baby Neptune gets the most airtime. Some of the scenes feel a little rushed (blip they're there, blip they're gone) and it's barely 30 minutes, but there are no commercials, the music is wonderful, I love the ocean scenes and the aquarium is a peaceful bonus. We got them when our son was 6 mos (now 1 yr) and I can't say he's riveted, but he does enjoy it and has a great deal of fun playing with us and the puppets. Maybe it's not really educational, but it is entertaining and sometimes that's even better.

I can't believe he likes these already but he does. My son is two months old and he gets through about half of this video. That is pretty good for a two month old! I didn't think he would sit through it this young; but I tried it one day out of desperation when he was fussy and he settled down and watched it. He does sit through the whole Baby Van Gogh video. I think he will like this one better as he gets older and can comprehend what he is seeing. I think it's great. He loves his Baby Einstein music CD's too.I recommend those too...

Love love love the whole baby Einstein DVDs. My 2 year old loves these DVDs so much he screams "caterpillar!" And laughs every time we turn on one of these DVDs. We like it so much we ended up buying the baby Einstein 26 DVD set of these. It's great for quiet time. Or when my little one has had a terrible nightmare and needs to be calmed down. I highly recommend this.

My 2-year-old STILL digs out videos from the "Baby Einstein" series and demands them in preference to all others. He went through periods of obsession with "Buzz" and "Tubbies" and "Bluey-Ooo", and I almost retired the Baby Einstein ilk, but they keep coming back into favor and will soothe him back into good humor when nothing else has worked. They also soothe ME-- when my nerves are shot and the cartoons are driving me nuts, I can put on one of these and enjoy the classical music. I like Baby Einstein over the others in the series because I really do believe in the value of early exposure to foreign language. I frequently buy this for gifts for expecting friends (along with Numbers & Shapes in Spanish and Bilingual Baby).
