My baby loves all the Baby Einstein DVD collection but it`s Baby Neptune that he loves the most!! The images are incredible.

I normally just love the baby einstein series, but this one was very disappointing. It had the same images more then a couple times, and my son got bored of it very early. It doesn't teach your child new languages, but exposes them to it. However, my son was only interested when the english parts were on. I would recommend baby macdonald; that one is the best one I've seen. But don't waste your money on this!

We have all the Baby Einstein DVD's released to date and this one by far is the worst. Be warned that it does NOT teach the baby or toddler any one language and the different sketches in various languages are boring at best.We watch at least one Baby Einstein DVD a night and we love them. Your child will favor some over others depending at what stage he/she is in development. My daughter started watching them at 6 months of age. I highly recommend the series for any child. My daughter is around 4 different spoken languages routinely and is now 22 months old. She is considred very advanced for her age but she won't give this language nusery DVD 5 minutes of her time and I won't waste our time with it either since she gets no entertainment from it nor any educational benefit. Unfortunately if you buy the complete series you end up with this useless DVD too.It seems they had a lapse of judgment on this one!

My baby does like this video, but I can't stand it. I first purchased Baby Mozart and Baby Beethoven and liked them a lot, but when my daughter got older (6 months) I decided to try something new. So I bought her some of the Fisher Price videos. She loves them, and I do too. Then I decided to try this video because unlike Mozart and Beethoven they actually have nature scenes and stuff in this video. My daughter is entertained, but the way they try to make the kids in this video all "cutesy" is annoying. The kids in the Fisher Price videos are very cute. They're filmed doing many different activities, playing with moms and dads, sleeping, eating. Very cute. But the kids in this video are always mugging for the camera - a complete turn-off for me. So, I gave this video two stars because it definitely entertains my daughter. But only two stars because I can't stomach it myself.

My child cries when I put this one in. He hates the animated dancing crayons. Let me just say that these movies have such an appeal to babies because, in the exact words of Julie Clark, "they capture the sights and sounds of baby's real world." I don't know about you, but there are no computer animated, singing and dancing crayons in my child's real world. I think Disney forgot that the simplicity of these movies is what makes them so loveable. Pass on this one and stick with the earlier versions (before Disney took over)My child adores Bach, Mozart and both the Dolittles.

Although we limit the amount of TV our daughter watches, we let her start watching this video at 3 months for the colors and movement. She actually squealed with delight each time she watched it!

The video shows colorful graphics and toys while people say the alphabet, count to 20 or say a nursery rhyme in many languages. I only wish there were a translation for each nursery rhyme with the video.

We have several other Baby Einstein videos and this one and Baby Shakespeare are her favorite! We like the music on Baby Bach, but agree that the videography is not as good and there are too many features of Julie Clark's children.

The concept is ok. My 9 mo old daughter could not care less about this video and i can hardly stand to watch it either. You have no idea what they are saying in the other languages. What's going on on the screen has nothing to do with what they're saying. My advice: music & babies - these two things will keep your little one very content so you can take a little break.

The video was just okay - I don't think my daughter picked up any words. The other Baby Einstein videos are better and kept her attention longer. If you want your kid to learn or become used to hearing a foreign language, I recommend the Bilingual Baby series or, even better, just plain songs without the damaging effects of television -- my girl really likes the Global Village Kids Sing and Learn CDs (bilingual nursery rhymes in French, German and Spanish). They are more educational.

My 7 month old loves this DVD. It says it is for 9 month olds. She has watched it since birth. She has others, but this one really gets her excited! I do not advocate children watching television. However, this will give you a chance to eat dinner every now and then.

Like many here have already stated, I believe this is not the best Baby Einstein video. My children bore easily when watching it...probably because they have no idea what is being said. I think it could be made better by having either subtitles in English or by having the sub-titles in the language that is being spoken. At least then the parents would be able to help the children understand better.
