Amazon.com essential video

The Baby Einstein Company's "video board books" were designed as music-focused developmental tools to stimulate babies' brains (prompted by research proving that exposure to classical melodies can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory in youngsters). Now the company is expanding into other art forms, including color and art. The idea remains the same--taking bold, beautiful objects (toys, puppets, nature scenes) and setting them to fun renditions of classical music (their recordings are easily the best in the crowded field of child development). A new puppet--Vincent Van Goat--introduces the six primary colors and associates them with Van Gogh's paintings--"The Starry Night" for blue, "Wheat Fields with Reaper" for yellow. The only misstep is the poetry written and read by creator Julie Aigner-Clark, which is strongly reminiscent of Dr. Seuss's My Many Colored Days.

The company suggests the program is for toddlers between the ages of 1 and 4. Harsh sounds between segments--such as balloons popping and tires screeching--will draw the attention of youngsters but will probably render the video inappropriate for babes in arms. The video can be purchased by itself or with a beautifully produced 28-page book featuring Van Gogh's paintings, screen shots from the video, and Clark's poems. The combination set may be the best way to engage 3- and 4-year-olds' interest; they can follow along in the text while watching the video. Music includes "The William Tell Overture," "The Blue Danube," "Bolero," and Brahms's "Lullaby." The video also provides information on the cool toys seen in the ending "Toy Chest" segment. --Doug Thomas

Baby Van Gogh, Just Smashing.......2007-06-03

Baby Einstein is a wonderful new line of videos which will help aid in your child's development. Get them off to a new start with these videos, and this special one, Baby Van Gogh. Get them will on the way to a successful future now! Don't wait!

Excellent! .......2007-05-30

I'm a big fan of Van Gogh's work so it was exciting for me to introduce this Baby Einstein DVD to my 11 month old daughter. She loves all the Baby Einstein DVD's and this one is no exception. The puppets are her favorite and they appear often.
As an adult, I love the poems, seeing van Gogh's work, the music (Ravel's Bolero) and the sheer joy it provides me daughter.

Baby Einstein DVDs Are Some of Worst Baby DVSs! .......2007-03-27

I have bought 30+ baby/infant DVDS from different production companies, such as the "So Smart" series, the "Brainy Baby" series, the "Your Baby Can Read!" series, and the Nite Light ABC DVD. Baby Einstein DVDs are the lowest in quality, cheap toy props, boring music, nothing stimulating. I would recommend the So Smart DVDs and the Brainy Baby DVDs. Your Baby Can Read! are OK, not very high tech, but it could work.

Gotta Love It!.......2007-03-20

I was a little skeptical of all this Baby Einstein stuff at first... but then I saw the "Van Gogh" DVD... myself being a HUGE Van Gogh fan... I bought my 9 month old daughter this DVD and it is wonderful! She stands at the tv and bats at it, and laughs and its a GREAT time! I highly recommend this product!

Fantastic!.......2007-03-08

My daughter at about 8 months old was always so into this DVD, it was her favorite thing to relax her and make her happy!! we could never believe the effect it had on her. Somehow the DVD broke and it was a few months before we replaced it so now her favorite is Baby's First Moves!! I reccomend this and many Baby Einstein videos for your littles ones!

Sesame Street's cheerful redhead chuckles his way through this delightful 50-minute compilation of three favorite "Elmo's World" episodes. First come the babies: real babies, Muppet babies, and animal babies. With help from Mister Noodle, a cast of Muppets, and video vignettes featuring humans, Elmo discovers what babies can do and how to play with them. Next come the dogs. Once again, Elmo's on the move--this time to share important tips about respecting the family pet. The final episode examines life on the farm. Viewers will observe youngsters accomplishing daily farm chores as well as Muppet farmers and barn animals punning around. As Elmo bops around his house (simply drawn and "furnished" with color crayon sketches), he chats with Dorothy the pet goldfish, poses questions to Mister Noodle, and tunes in to his friendly television for helpful cartoons presented by "The Baby Channel," "The Dog Channel," and of course, "The Farm Channel." Educational and entertaining for the younger crowd, each segment explores its topic using a variety of creative, quick-paced methods, enhanced by an upbeat soundtrack. (Ages 3 to 6) --Liane Thomas

Big winner for the little one.......2007-07-04

My little one is ga ga for Elmo and this gives it up in spades. She really likes this one and it's perfect for someone her age-around 15months.

I've seen it 100 times already.......2007-06-27

My DD loves this one. The stories are short enough so that the child doesn't get bored...but long enough to teach them something. I would pay double for this one- She loves it that much.

Can't lose with Elmo!.......2007-06-26

My 2 year-old son loves almost anything Elmo, so this was a no-brainer. This was the first Elmo's World DVD I bought for him, because he loves dogs and farms. It turns out, though, that the baby segment is his favorite. We like to sing along with "Old MacDonald." Now that we have Tivo, I could have just recorded the last 20 minutes of Sesame Street every day, but this DVD was a nice addition to our library.

3 Baby Favorites!!!.......2007-03-27

This DVD has my daughters 3 favorite subjects, Babies, Dogs and Farm. My 1 year old wakes up every morning and sits on her Zebra, points to the TV, and says "bow wow wow wow" which mean "I want to watch Elmo's World about Dogs"

She likes all three episodes but the Dogs stick out for her because she has seen (and been afraid of) real dogs)

Not my first choice.......2007-02-07

My 20 month old son will tolerate this video if we put it in, but it isn't one of his favorites. I'm not a big fan of videos where the characters baby talk. I realize that's kind of Elmo's trademark, but Elmo is a bit of a "mush mouth" in this particular video. There are lots of times when my husband and I can't figure out what Elmo has just said. If your looking for a Sesame Street video, I'd pass on this one and go for "Kids Favorite Songs". My son loves it!

Very disappointed with this. This is an series of "elmo's world" skits from the tv show. Elmo in Grouchland is actually a movie and therefore is much better.

Great Topics for Toddler.......2007-01-28

I really like this elmo DVD, because it deals with topics my 2 year old was fighting me with. It teaches sleeping, getting dressed, and brushing your teeth. Also, my son LOVES elmo, so if Elmo says to get dressed, he gets dressed. It is in three Elmo's world episodes, so you can watch one or all three. Great to add to your collection!

pineapples do sing.......2007-04-21

Elmo's World is a really cute DVD. My little brother and sister love it! I have heard the songs so many times I sing them in my head when I'm not even watching it. If you have little kids you must buy Elmo's World! If your kids are a little older like me the craft DVD called Crafty Fun will be great for them.

GREAT!.......2007-01-30

Everyone's favorite preschool monster demonstrates three activities in this compilation of some popular "Elmo's World" segments from Sesame Street. Joining him are segment regulars Dorothy the pet goldfish and Mr. Noodle, the lovable, bumbling adult stand-in for children, who makes mistakes but perseveres until he gets it right. In each episode, real children also take turns mastering the skill. In "Dancing," Elmo shows off his finesse at the flamenco and hula, while the children choose more free-form moves. (Elmo's monster friend Zoe also makes a cameo appearance.) In "Books," a boy and his father visit the library in search of dinosaur books. And in "Music," kids play the flute and violin, while Mr. Noodle is a little slow in learning to bang the drum. For parents who meant to tape the "Elmo's World" segments, but never quite did it, this 45-minute video is a lucky break. Primarily for ages 2-5, but Elmo fans of all ages will enjoy it. --Kimberly Heinrichs

my toddler loved it .......2007-02-14

my daughter really likes elmo and this dvd was no exception ans she also likes silly mr noodles i loved all the lessons about books, dancing and music

My daughter loves this movie!.......2007-01-11

My daughter is 2 and loves Elmo. She only wants to watch this movie...over and over and over...The first thing she askes for in the morining is to "watch Elmo!" We actually have to limit her time watching it! I like it because it teaches her a lot about music, dancing, counting, and books.

Fun w/catchy tunes and skits.......2006-11-23

My two year old is an Elmo lover so we have been collecting Elmo DVDs and this one ranks at the top. I have to say so far all of the Elmo's World DVDs have proven to be good viewing for my toddler. She absolutely loves all of the singing, dancing and educational interaction that the DVD has to offer. I even caught her humming the Elmo's World song one day. I too disagree with the negative feedback because it doesn't hold their childs attention long enough, well when it comes to toddlers you are lucky if anything holds their attention for more than 5-10 minutes. Even though the DVD is only 50 minutes long my daughter will usually sit for at least thirty minutes and that was the other thing that impressed me about these Elmo DVDs.

The first Elmo DVD she got was Elmo and the Great Outdoors and she totally fell in love with it and she was watching it every day. She sat for that DVD for almost the entire 50 minutes. I have to say all of the Elmo's World DVDs get a thumbs up from me and I will continue to buy them (for my sanity) because she can watch the same one over and over again.

Elmo - Dancing Music Books.......2006-10-06

My daughter enjoys this DVD but it doesn't hold her attention for very long.

The Best Kids' DVD Ever.......2006-01-26

This is a great one! The Mr Noodle dances alone, if you stop to watch them, are simply amazing. I also love the little Elmo in costume vignettes like Elmo as a Spanish dancer or as all the members of a ragtime band. This DVD has a good length compared to other kid's DVDs we've bought too. While watching Sesame Street my daughter's attention goes in and out depending on what is happening, but with this disc she gives 45 minutes of total absorption. My only complaint is that you have to watch about 2 minutes of ads for other sesame street releases before you get to the program, very contrary to the educational TV ethos in my opinion.

With the Van Gogh, Dolittle, and other Baby programs under their belts, the tots who follow Julie Aigner-Clark's Baby Einstein series will sidle up to Baby Newton expecting a similar exploration of building blocks to brilliance, but this time there's a wrinkle or two. Animation makes its first appearance, and parents steeped in keep-it-simple culture may object to the springy "I Know My Shapes" song, a departure from classical-only video predecessors. Otherwise, the tried-and-true genius launchers of titles past pop up anew--Vivaldi floats through each of five shape segments, and clever puppet shows play quickly and infrequently enough to captivate the under-2 crowd. Plus, talk about well rounded: Clark covers the bases, showing off triangular sails drifting toward the sunset one second and geometric patterns the next. Play it for a departure from skill-building standbys like pop-up books and plastic sorters for ages 1 to 3. --Tammy La Gorce

My son loves it! and has already learn his shapes, he is 21 months and now points at the shapes everywhere!

Don't waste your money.......2007-06-11

As other reviewers have said, why mess with what works; and the real world items chosen were terrible and too few. The abstract animation used to show the shapes was awful. The dancing crayons were lame. My son kept turning away from the TV during the show...and he's a huge Baby E fan. This is simply painful to watch after the other Baby E successes. The Baby E creators should be embarassed by this production.

This is definately worth the time and money to invest for your child. What a learning experience in teaching tool. Get it! You won't regret it. Your child will love it. I use this in my daycare too and all my children are well beyond their age appropriate learning capacity. Any B.E. video is well worth it!

great video.......2007-04-06

Why people are so critical about this new format of the video? It's still fun, educational and entertaining. My son actually loved it and was glued to the TV. If those changes came to lack of an educational part or something- I would complain. Puppets are as cute as ever, colours are bright and kids love it. What is wrong with the animation? Kids should be used to anything that can help them learn. I would highly recommend to buy this DVD. Thank you, Baby Einstein.

This is an impressive-looking version of Lewis Carroll's story originally produced for NBC-TV. Dreading a singing recital at her parents' lavish home, Alice falls into a strange world in pursuit of a large White Rabbit. The talented child actor Tina Majorino (Corrina, Corrina) plays Alice with all the good graces but mostly wanders through the story unquestioningly. Carroll's tale of whimsical, illogical adventures is a field day for designers Roger Hall and Alan Tomkins, costumer Charles Knode, Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and director Nick Willing (Photographing Fairies. Influenced by Time Bandits and Labyrinth (the latter also designed by the Henson company), the film has a splendid array of effects, many dealing with multiple perspectives as Alice constantly changes sizes. The highlight is Whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat, a seamless mix of cat and comic. Martin Short as the Hatter and Mirandra Richardson as the Queen of Hearts seem to be having the times of their lives. This is not the definitive version of Carroll's tale, and, like the popular Disney animated version, combines some elements of Carroll's sequel, Through the Looking Glass. It is perhaps better viewing for the fan that has seen another version of the tale or read the book. --Doug Thomas

Customer Reviews:

Family movie.......2007-05-04

Great job for the non-cartoons! We enjoyed this movie way better than a cartoon. It told a whole story instead of a piece!

I really liked this movie!!!.......2007-04-23

I have never read the book or was never exposed to the story of Alice in Wonderland before seeing this movie. When I bought this movie, I thought that it was about time that I did see the "timeless" story that everyone was talking about. I was very happy that I did. I did really enjoy this movie. I am not one to compare the movie to the book when I make reviews if I read the book. Books and movie can be totally different from each other because of different interpretations of the script. Give this movie a try and see what you think. I am very glad that I did and am very happy that I own a copy of it as well.

Misses the Point.......2007-04-20

I found it very annoying that the makers of this version felt the need to have everyone keep teaching little lessons and reciting little morals to Alice. As another reviewer has said, that is contrary to the whole spirit of the books and contrary to their original intent. (A similar outrage was perpetrated by the makers of the TV movie "The Odyssey," where--contrary to Homer--we see Odysseus having to learn little life lessons before he is allowed to go home.) What I did like, though, was some of the casting, especially Whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat and Sian Phillips as the Red Queen. For those who want a good version of one of the Alices, the one starring Kate Beckinsale is actually rather good. It keeps to the events of "Through the Looking Glass" and it has a good absurdist tone.

Letdown by Hallmark.......2007-03-23

Hallmark Entertainment has made many movies from children's books, and this probably one of the worst. Based on both "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" this movie stars many of the familiar faces of Hallmark movies and children's movies, such as Gene Wilder, Miranda Richardson, Martin Short, and Whoopi Goldberg. The lead character of Alice is unfortunately played by an actress that is not so good. The movie revolves around her, and she seems to move from one scene to the next with little emotion or expression. Even the crying scenes seemed fake. Where is Dakota Fanning when you need her? The cinematography, costume and set design are spot on, as usual for Hallmark movies, but the soundtrack was unnoticeable. The only bright spot was the engaging song by Gene Wilder's character. All in all, quite boring.

Excellent.......2007-03-08

Being a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland I love this movie. While it ads some of the Through the Looking Glass it is still follows the book almost perfectly. I felt the characters were played well and the actors and actresses (mostly unknowns to me) fit their parts.

A real cute video.......2007-03-09

My two year old son loves this movie. He has about ten other Elmo videos. This one is really cute and it doesn't drive me crazy when he watches it over and over. My favorite part is when the Noodle gang does a line dance.

Loves the horses.......2007-01-15

My grandson loves watching films with animals as well as Elmo. This one is his absolute favorite. When he wants to watch the horses, we will watch this movie over and over. This is a good picture for the little ones.

Wild, Wild, West is a hit!.......2006-08-29

My daughter received this for her second birthday and she loves it. Once again Elmo fans are delighted with the wonderfully animated puppets and great guest stars. The music is wonderful and the costumes are adorable. This is a great movie to add to your Elmo's World library.

My 15 month old loves this DVD.......2006-08-20

It is hard to find DVD's that hold my 15 month old daughter's attention, but this DVD holds her spellbound all the way through! Whenever I need quiet time or just a minute to breathe, I pop this DVD in and it is instant quiet. Plus there's two bonus mini-shows at the end and my daughter will sit through those as well. So far this is the only Elmo's World I have found to keep her attention, but I'm still looking!

Flowers, Bananas & More--so titled, presumably, because Flowers, Bananas & Hair sounds kind of yucky--culls everybody's favorite 3-year-old monster's investigations of those things in a 50-minute tape. The Flowers episode cuts away from Elmo's crayon-filled playroom to follow a real, live boy in his quest to grow a plant. Through Elmo's lively voiceover, we learn that by filling a glass with a paper towel, a bean, and some water you can grow a bean pod, which is just what Elmo does, along with interviewing a friendly cactus and showing us a homemade video of Stinky the Plant, back in his world. In Bananas Mr. Noodle's usual bumbling with the object in question (Is it a telephone? A horn? A pen?) is a barrel of laughs, and we meet Top Banana, a spectacles- and bow tie-clad chap who brings his breed's health benefits to light. Hair, the final segment, is especially enlightening because every manner of the curious stuff shows up for a brief but thoughtful examination. By tuning us in to the Hair Channel, which is featuring a cartoon called "The Kingdom Where Everybody Wore His Hair the Same Way," Elmo leads us to the truth about hair: kinky or straight, short or long, everybody's got it, and what a person chooses to do with it doesn't count for much. Though it's bound to be a repeat for most kids, this is a tape that'll grow on budding botanists, stylists, and Elmo groupies in general. (Ages 3 to 7.) --Tammy La Gorce

Elmo - Flowers..........2006-10-06

My daughter enjoys this DVD but it doesn't hold her attention for very long.

Elmo's World - Flowers, Bananas & More.......2006-09-11

If your child is like mine, you hear Elmo's theme song echoing in your head even when your child is not watching it. What can I say this is a fun video for my 20 month old to watch and she is drawn to Elmo like glue....This one is worth buying.

Loves It!!!.......2006-08-28

16 Month old daughter loves this DVD!! Please note that parents should have banana's in fridge when putting in the DVD, my daughter eats a banana each time she watches!!

The fourth "video board book" from the Baby Einstein folks is their most engaging product yet. Aimed at slightly older audiences (ages 1 to 4), Baby Shakespeare combines poetry with the usual mix of festive classical music, bright objects, and happy thoughts designed to stimulate young minds. This video is aimed at exposing little tykes to the language context. Twelve words (grass, tree, etc.) are explored in pictures and poem form with plenty of playful stops for kids singing their ABC's and close-ups of brightly colored toys in action. Older kids can follow the poetry in a beautiful enclosed picture book of poem text and sharp outdoor photography. We even meet Baby Einstein's first host: a dragon puppet named Bard, who (along with his friends) playfully participates in the action. He deserves a repeat performance. --Doug Thomas

Awesome!!!.......2007-03-23

We absolutely love this video. I love that it combines actual speaking along with music. My boys, now 2, both can recite some of the poems. It has always captured their attention and kept them occupied. While I am not a huge fan of videos for babies, I make an exception for this one. It is mildly education but loads of fun. I definitely recommend this video!!!

Baby Shakespeare.......2007-02-19

Wonderful DVD with lots of information for my 14 month old. He absolutely loves these movies and actually will repeat what they are saying. I don't feel guilty having him watch these over and over because he learns while being entertained.

Confusing content, uneven audio.......2007-02-12

The visuals are entertaining for very young children because there is a lot of movement and vibrant colors, but the arrangement of scenes is jumbled and unrelated. Much better editing is necessary. I don't know where Shakespeare comes into the mix for the very young children. The most irritating aspect of this DVD is the uneven audio. The volume often changes from scene to scene which requires constant adjustment. It seems as if whoever finished the entire piece simply cobbled together all the various parts without thought to continuity.

Useful only as pretty images.......2007-01-17

I bought this at a consignment store for 2 dollars, and that was more than it was worth. Usually I've purchased used BEs becasue they have nice shots of animals, though I am constantly amazed at how they claim to be educational when they are so poorly designed. The design of this DVD reflects exceptionally inadequate understanding of how infants acquire language. Words are introduced by showing parts of objects that would be difficult for a baby to identify (such as bits of an object shown through a camera lens, or showing toys that look minimally like the animal/object), they are presented in such a way that it is sometimes difficult to determine which object in the shot is the one that goes with the word, and most importantly they don't pair the spoken word with the images. How is this supposed to be 'from a baby's perspective' as they tout, when they have clearly little grasp of how to make something accessable to a developing mind? Not to mention that babies and young children don't understand figurative language (like metaphor) so exposing them to adult poetry seems more geared towards parental egos than anything else.
