Summary: Good, but not my kids' favorite
Review: We are relative newcomers to the Baby Einstein revolution. My twins were 15 months before we bought their first one - Baby Beethoven. We just recently purchased Baby Neptune and Baby Galileo.This is a fine DVD with wonderful music, but it just doesn't hold the attention of my boys the way Baby Beethoven does. I begin to wonder if kids don't just attach to the first Baby Einstein video/DVD they get and that's always their favorite... This is a bit shorter, and my kids seem to especially like the scenes in Beethoven with the kinetic toys, which are not as evident here. Always keep in mind as parents watching the Baby Einstein series that the images are for the KIDS and not the parents - yes, I find them a tad boring, but the boys love them, and that's what is important! I like the special features on this DVD, including the "discovery cards" and the cd-ROM coloring book. These are nice extras. All in all, a fine video - and as I said, not my kids' favorite, but not the one they're most familiar with, either.

Summary: Baby Neptune - What a Washout
Review: How extraordinarily disappointing. The previous Baby Einstein videos were somewhat variable in their quality, I will admit it. Baby Bach lacked a puppeteer and suffered for it. Baby Van Gogh had an awful lot of Aspen and Sierra in it, even if they are cute kids. But Baby Neptune is a homogenized pastiche of the previous videos, relying on rapid fire scene changes and puppets of enhanced "cuteness" instead of personality. Images flash by disjointedly, not even lingering long enough for frustrated parents to name the scene meaningfully. Shots zoom by in such a fashion to encourage motion sickness. Voiceovers sound as if they are provided by members of the Mickey Mouse Club. Puppeteers continually place their hands and arms in shot, ruining the already poor puppeteering. And what ghastly puppets they are - with stuffed faces that do not allow them to express the range of movement and emotion that Markie especially brought to the characters. They looked like second rate Disney toy knockoffs, characters that never made it to the big screen. I was surprised not to see Sebastian, Flounder, and the Little Mermaid included as additional homages to the new parent company. This video was designed by committee, and one that had not yet grasped the successful formula: puppets expressing simple emotions playfully to a background of gentle music and soothing video. Even the music in this video was stolen in parts from the other videos. Twice as many production staff on this one, three times as many puppeteers, and less than half the quality. Don't waste your, or your child's valuable time.

Summary: Baby Neptune DVD
Review: My son LOVES this DVD...We first watched it when he was 6-7 months old and it did not hold his attention like Baby Bach and Baby Mozart did. However, the DVD states 9 months and up so I gave it another try. He LOVES LOVES it---water everywhere...if your child enjoys bathtime I am sure they will love this DVD.

Summary: Best in the series!!!
Review: I bought this for my 1 year old daughter because she already has Baby Mozart and Baby Beethovan and loves them both. This is by far the best in the series. The combination of real life water footage and puppet animation captures my daughter's attention and keeps her completely entertained. She loves watching fish swimming on the big screen. It justs keeps getting better and better. A must have for your infant or toddler.

Summary: Mom's and son's favorite einstein
Review: We have seen all of the Einstein's and this is by far my son's favorite, although at 14 1/2 months he now likes Newton and Van Gogh almost as much. He and I both love the music and the real world images, and unlike a previous reviewer I think that the fast pace of the images keeps him interested. He was never very into watching the toys that abound in Bach, Mozart and Beethoven - instead he seems drawn to things he sees in the world around him. He loves the puppets and the kids (I have no idea why people have a problem with Julie's kids in her video's - who cares?). I also like the way the video is broken into segments and that everything in the segment goes together (i.e. "water at the ocean" has images that belong in the ocean, "water at my house" has images from around the house, ...) The complexity of the information is also appropriate for the age group - not too easy (...) or too complicated (...). I would strongly recommend this video for the 6 - 24 month age group.

Summary: My Daughter's New Favorite Baby Einstein Video
Review: I love ALL the Baby Einstein videos. They have given me time to do things around my home while my daughter is entertained. I've also enjoyed watching with her. The older she gets the more certain scenes will delight her. This is our new favorite. It immediately catches her attention by showing stuffed animals at the beach, before the opening credits. It continues on in various water play and delights her when a game of peekaboo is played.....her favorite game to play with us. It is brighter and more entertaining than the rest. The series improves with each video. I'm only sorry I didn't get the DVD. The repeat play feature is a godsend. I have numerous videos from this series and her running fave was Van Gogh until we got this one. I'm definitely glad since I was tired of that one already. My daughter is 5 months old now. The age recommendations have never mattered since she enjoys even the ones labeled for 1 year olds. I would definitely recommend this one for mothers. If you've never tried any of these videos, Baby Mozart is a good starter. This one is a close second.

Summary: My son is in awe!
Review: My 8 month old son has been watching this video since he was 4 months old and he absolutely loves it. His feet kick with delight at the puppet scenes and he laughs at the images. We enjoyed this video so much that we bought it in DVD and in VHS so that he could watch it at home and at both grandparents' homes. The added extras on the DVD are great too, especially the aquarium footage. Great job, as usual, Baby Einstein Company!

Summary: My baby has loved since birth!
Review: 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.

Summary: NOT a good one at all
Review: My 9 month old daughter who loooooves Baby Eienstein videos totally hates this one. I don't know why but this one simply was a total waste of money. Whatever their formula is that makes babies love these videos was lost on this one. It is well known among other moms that this is the one to stay away from.

Summary: gweedo
Review: Decent video with good images, contrasting colors, etc. However the box states "9 to 18 months". I would wait until the kid is a good 12 to 14 months. Our 10 month old enjoys the Einstein videos that he has, but has no patience whatsoever for this one. There is too much of a story and not enough emphasis on cartoon-like colors and baby-friendly sounds. Good one, though, for older tot's...
