Tyler's Mom.......2007-02-17

My son started watching this at 2 weeks of age. Decided to buy a new DVD for a change, so we bought him a Baby Einstein. The Baby Einstein didn't hold his interest at all compared to this Baby Genius video. He still watches the same video at almost 12 months of age and is still captivated by it. Definitely worth the $10! We are now buying a new Baby Genius DVD for his first birthday.

I love it.......2007-01-28

I love this video and music cd combo. My three year old likes to watch the video before bed. It calms him down and gets him ready to go to sleep. I had looked every where trying to find this particular video. I tried Wal-mart and any other store that I could think of that might have it. Thank you so much for carrying this item.

Good For Winding Down.......2005-11-06

I play this at night when getting my son ready for bed. There is a repeat feature which is easier than finding the remote to restart after its over and the child is still not ready to sleep. It's calming and also educational. My son likes to yell out the alphabet along to the video.

Based on research that classical music enhances a baby's brain development, Mozart and Friends is a medley of classical compositions coupled with engaging real-life and animated visuals. A piano rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" accompanies a dazzling host of moon and stars dancing across the screen. In another scene, musical instruments are suspended alongside orchestral notes; later, a bouquet of balloons soars in the sky. Color patterns and object sequencing are introduced by way of bright building blocks; puzzle pieces show spatial relationships--all of which, experts say, cause tiny synapses in a child's brain to make critical connections. This, of course, matters not to kiddies who merely delight in the interspersed scenes of babies and animals at play. A superb soundtrack of various composers is the only narrative in the 37-minute program; there are no added voiceovers or recitations. Less stimulating than other infant development videos, this calming program is suitable for toddler quiet time. Ages 9 to 36 months. --Lynn Gibson

My Baby Loves It & I Think It's Great!.......2007-01-01

I found this DVD at my local Dollar General store for $3 brand new. My baby is watching it right now. She is 4 months old and loves it. I enjoy the music. It keeps her so engaged that I can get some things done, or just some much needed relaxing time for myself. I'm a former school teacher and think this video is great for stimulating her brain as well. It's so enjoyable to watch her eyes light up as she watches this video and hear her giggle at the babies in the video.

Fantastic!.......2006-04-21

We have had great success with the Baby Genius videos. Our experience was quite different than those who have listed negative reviews above - so we'll chalk such different experiences up to the fact that everyone is unique, therefore we encourage anyone with an infant to give these videos a try. These are the only videos our first son (who is now 4 1/2 years old)would actually be interested in watching when he was an infant/toddler (between 6 months to 2 years). Although everyone learns at a different pace, our son was reading simple words by the time he was 3 years old and now, at 4 1/2, can probably read as well as any 7 or 8 year old we know. We attribute his ability to read so early and so well to his God-given gift, all of the time we spent interacting with him (making fun games out of words, etc.), and these videos. We would always watch the videos with him - and we would interact with him (i.e. when he was about 1 1/2 years old, we would play games with the video regarding what colors he saw, what letters and numbers he could recognize, etc). We believe the interaction while wacthing the videos was a critical step in his quick learning ability. We have just introduced the videos to our 6 month old and he seems to like the sounds, colors, and sights as well. Anyway, we wish you the best with your children and hope that your experience with the videos will be as pleasant and rewarding as ours was (and hopefully will be with our newest son).

Poor video.......2005-11-07

A friend gave this to me. The first time we watched it was when my daughter was about 6 months. She wasn't impressed and neither was I (although I do enjoy the music). I decided to add it to the rotation of Baby Einstein and Curious Buddies that we have - for which my daughter, now 19 months, is glued to the TV. It came up today and after 2 minutes she was off playing with toys and had no interest whatsoever. Sorry my friend wasted her money. It's going in the donation box.

Wonderful reinforcing tool!.......2004-03-07

I picked up the VHS version of this as a previously viewed tape at a local video rental store thinking it would be nice as a break from Telletubbies, Dora and the like. I was very supprised when it quickly became the favorite in our media library! While I agree that the program does not overtly teach the alphabet & etc... However, it has held my little one's attention from about the age of 6 months through the 3 1/2 yrs that my daughter is at now. (She still loves it!) My daughter now says the alphabet while it is appearing on screen. So while I don't believe that it is a good teaching tool, it does reinforce! (I would rather teach the children myself anyway!) I have recently obtained the DVD version of this and am pleased that the parent's intro has moved to the end on the DVD.

Images Don't Relate To Music.......2003-07-22

The Baby Genious video is very low quality compared to the two Baby Einstein videos I own. First, the Baby Genious Mozart and Friends music track is muffled, and is no better than just playing a random mozart CD, then randomly placing images on the screen. For example, a number sequence from zero to nine slowly appears on the screan, but not in sync with the music. Then the music track ends and starts anew even though the numerical sequence has not completed.

Some of the camera work is shaky, and appears as if it were photographed by amatures. The editing is random, again not in sequence with the music.

The images are poor. Imagine a still picture of the sky, then two-dimensional drawings of ballons floot by the screen. The images are not interesting -- and their movements are computer generated, again not related to the music.

All I can say is that my child's attention is not maintained by the Baby Genious Mozart and Friends video. I suggest getting the Baby Einstein videos because their music, editing and production values are far superior. Further, the Baby Einstein videos use puppets and real images.

ok maybe for a younger child to send them off to sleep.......2007-02-26

This one is ok but it seems to not be able to keep their attention for long, I much prefer the interactive Baby Genius videos that the kids are all involved with singing and dancing, like Childrens Favorite Songs, and Childrens Favorite Nursery Rhymes.

Not the best DVD.......2004-12-23

I was disappointed in this DVD. I really didn't want to compare it to the Baby Einstein Baby Mozart DVD, but it's impossible not to. The images on this Baby Genius DVD stay on the screen for longer periods of time and they tend to be more pastel rather than primary. Also, on the Genius DVD, there are images of animals (a brown squirrel running around on brown grass - which makes no sense to me since babies are stimulated by bright colors) and children who really aren't doing anything that entertaining or interesting. I really prefer the Baby Einstein Baby Mozart DVD because the images are brighter, they rotate in shorter periods of time (keeping my son's interest piqued), and the hand puppets and toys shown are just generally better and more interesting than the Baby Genius DVD. If you're looking to get a DVD and can't decide between Baby Genius and Baby Einstein, go with the Einstein.

Knocks 'im out almost every time.......2006-04-04

I don't know about the educational value of this. It does have letters and numbers, but mainly I love this because it seems to put my baby to sleep everytime he watches it. When he is fighting a nap, I put him in his swing, put this in and he is out by the time it's over. It does have nice soothing music and no voice overs as some other videos do, and I don't mind having it on while I read a book. The one time he didn't fall asleep during it, he quieted down at least.
