The world's greatest art comes alive in time to a fully-orchestrated score on this one-of-a-kind educational video. Stunning visual effects, live footage and traditional animation allow children to watch goldfish morph into a Matisse, and their own paintings become masterworks. The onscreen choreography actively involves young viewers in the the rhythms, textures and patterns of the art and the music, stimulating their imagination and jumpstarting their creative learning capabilities.

An Engaging Visual Treat.......2007-02-07

This video presents gorgeous artwork in a creative way - moving images that sweep across the screen until it is filled. My children recognized the artwork from "Goodbye Moon" and others were new. My two boys, 3 and 20 months, love this video and it keeps their attention with lovely art, colors and music. I love to watch this video because it is so beautiful! I would have rated it higher except for "Star". Star Laureate seems to be disjointed from the art and doesn't present the artwork. My children love star anyway. I highly recommend this video.

still the best dvd .......2005-11-28

I bought the Little Laureate's for the Love of Art in February this year after reading all the reviews and I'm glad that I did. This is still the only dvd that can capture my 20-month-old daugther; she has been watching since she was eleven-month old and she is still watching today. The production is more tasteful and sophisticated than Baby Einstein. None of the other DVDs---Baby Einstein, Baby Prodigy or Brain Baby could keep her attention, not even five minutes; I'm glad that I didn't spend $$$ to purchase the Einstein DVD series because the production is so cheesy and cheap. I borrowed the other Litle Laureate's for the Love of World Travel from a local library but my daughter didn't like it as much. I highly recommend it.

The BEST video out there!!!!.......2005-08-27

I LOVE this video. My 6 month old loves it as well! She will sit and watch the entire 30 minutes without a peep. The music is fantastic and the artwork is amazing. Unlike other videos, the music isn't annoying to me. I could listen to the music over and over (which we do) while getting things done around the house while she is watching the beautiful artwork. The fact that the music and artwork presentation is choreographed so that the art hits the beats in the music is great!

This video is so much better and more appealing than the Baby Einstein videos. I don't feel like I am watching a home video of toys filmed in my basement, like I do when I watch the other baby videos out there.

I am pleased that there is a video that both my daughter and I can enjoy. Introducing her to such beautiful artwork at a young age will be much more beneficial to her than watching a toy duck being pulled across the screen. I highly recommend this video!

Good, but not Baby Einstein.......2005-08-11

Don't get me wrong; this video is good! The music is great, the artwork is lovely, and parents can enjoy it even though it's been played 100 times. However, the artwork/music presentation is like a piece of choreography that was overworked to hit everything in the music and ended up being less-than-pleasing. And then the makers slacked on editing the scenes/sounds of children talking and doing art. Also, each peice of artwork shown includes print of the title and artist on the lower corner ON the artwork (not off to the side), interrupting the enjoyment of the art. The print is very small and hard to read -- really distracting. Since the artists and titles should be shown somewhere, why not put that information at the end? This video tries but isn't quite the standard of Baby VanGogh.

Equally enjoyable for me too!.......2004-06-19

I'm thrilled when our two year old goes to the DVD cabinet, pulls this out and says, "I want Star!" Of all the DVDs in our library for our two year old, I prefer this one head and shoulders above the rest. In fact, I enjoy it myself. Unlike other childrens' DVDs, this is wonderful even if it's just playing in the background while the children play with blocks in the next room. The classical soundtrack is refreshing first thing in the morning. And the artwork! I'm glad that my child is being introduced to the beauty of Van Gogh and Picasso at a young age. It's very well done and the artworks chosen are appropriate and enjoyable for children, even including one from "Goodnight Moon", one of her favorite bedtime books. The only flaw might be that this is thirty minutes long. My two year old doesn't object to that, but when this DVD is over I find myself playing it again. I wish there was a 60 or 90 minute version for grown ups!

My 2 Year Old Want to go to the Rainforest.......2004-04-17

Since I got this DVD, my 2-year-old has been asking me to go the the rainforest on "cacation". She tells me she wants to see birds, monkeys and frogs like she sees on the video. We talk about Paris and China and all sorts of wordly places we'll go together. It makes me so happy that she's not only been exposed to this kind of culture, but that she loves it and talks about it. Kudos to For the Love of World Travel!

AMAZING VIDEO! Highly recommend!.......2004-04-14

I can't say enough about the videos from this company. They are so well-done and full of such amazing content. If you are looking for a five star at-home educational enhancement, as I was, do yourself and your family a favor, and get this tape! You will love it as much as your kids!

BEST VIDEO OUT THERE!!!.......2003-12-11

I am a second grade teacher with kids ages 2, 6 and 9. I got the Baby Laureate tapes for my youngest, but even the older kids love watching it. The educational value is peerless, the production quality is OUTSTANDING and the dash of foreign language exposure in this tape is just wonderful. I get these tapes for all my expectant friends now; it has become my standard shower gift. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Five Stars!

My 2-Year-Old Keeps Asking For It.......2003-09-30

Great production quality, highly educational, thoroughly enjoybale viewing for parents. My 2-year-old asks for it every day. When she watches, she talks along with the tape: "equator," "kangaroo," nice enhancements to her vocabulary. Even my 9-year-old likes to watch it. She likes the reinforcment of things she's learning in school, about the Amazon rainforest, etc. It's great to know my kids can be exposed to everything from the Great Wall of China to the foreign languages at such an early age.

We Love Baby Laureate!.......2003-09-26

We are so glad someone has finally come along with tapes for children that make sense, are well done, are educational and fun for everyone -- even parents -- to watch. My children loved the first tape "For the Love of Art," and they love this one even more! My 19-month-old asks for the "Star" tape every night. It makes me so happy to have finally found something I can feel good about my kids watching.
