Description:

Created in consultation with child development and infant-learning experts, Baby Superstar: Explorer blends classical music, animation, and live-action photography in an appealing program that facilitates sensory, language, emotional, and cognitive development in children ages 3 to 36 months. Explorer focuses on land, sea, and space; juxtaposing footage of stuffed animals, toys in action, animation, live animals in natural settings, authentic space shuttle launches, and real space photography. Rich classical music like Handel's Water Music and Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, accompanies the visual images. Baby Superstar presentations are similar to Baby Einstein programs in that both combine animation, toys, and classical music. What makes Baby Superstar different, and infinitely more appealing to adult viewers, is the real-life photography and the use of full orchestral renditions of the classical music rather than the synthesized, heavily stylized arrangements presented by Baby Einstein. The DVD includes an audio compact disc of the musical selections as well as a parent guide that features video of psychologist Joyce Brothers and pediatrician David Namerow offering advice on topics like stimulating brain development, separation anxiety, and common physical ailments in infants. Twenty percent of Baby Superstar's profits will be donated to children's charities. --Tami Horiuchi
