Rating: Summary: A family favorite Review: Simply wonderful and different. A creative approach to learining. It "shows" the viewer how to look at art. Kid friendly but not simpering.We love it. Bought "World Travel" too. For the Love of art is still our favorite. Can't wait to see what Baby Laureat comes up with next.
Rating: Summary: The baby, cat and I all enjoy it Review: This is a DVD my 14 month enjoys, and I actually like to watch it too. We have almost all the Baby Einstein DVDs, which I like, but this is much more abstract. Instead of "silly" - their term - puppet shows and toys moving to music, you experience art broken down to its very basic component shapes, and your child can see how a circle is the foundation of a Van Gogh or a triange the building block of a Matisse. Many great works of art are presented for your child, and a title is provided for Mom and Dad should they not recognize the piece (which is likely at times unless you are really well versed in art). The music is not "specially performed for little ears" on synths, like Baby Einstein, but is a full orchestral performance, much better for my ears. There are also live segments with children, which my little one enjoys as much as the animated segments. The only downside is the lack of additional features. You pretty much get the main feature or a version with just art or just animation. There is also a music section, but it simply shows the title while playing and is not very stimulating. Baby Einstein's earlier productions have "flash cards" so you can practice vocabulary and reading with baby, and I wish Baby Laureate had something similar. Still, this DVD is one of my very favorites to watch with my shorty, along with the other Baby Lareaute title, Love of World Travel. We highly recommend it.

Rating: Summary: Best Kids DVD Review: This is a great DVD because there are so many different ways to use it. You can watch it normally (which is a treat), or you can play all the animation sequences in a row (my 2-year old loves that). My older children like to play the art-only mode. And I love the soundtrack, which is featured here as well. This is just a great piece of multimedia that allows the whole family to enjoy it. I'm glad someone finally gave us not just extra trailers, but more uses in a DVD.
Rating: Summary: Great DVD! Well done... Review: This is a great DVD. The music and animation is outstanding. My kids like it better than Baby Einstein. Very enjoyable from a parent standpoint as well.
Rating: Summary: Didn't like this at all Review: This video is boring and was definitely NOT engaging for my twins!!!!!!! Please, buy something else!
Rating: Summary: Great Baby Video Review: We got "For the Love of World Travel" as a gift and liked it so much, we bought this one as well. We are delighted that it's just as good. My kids are captivated by the art and animation. This is truly one of the best tapes out there. I highly recommend the Baby Laureate series.
Rating: Summary: love this dvd Review: We own every kids DVD on the market, and the folks at Baby Laureate have outdone everyone with this release. It's a wonderful presentation with the best art and music I can remember seeing, my kids love it, and the DVD has great extra features like being able to play different cuts of the movie. I highly recommend this to anyone with kids!
Rating: Summary: Best baby video on the market! Review: We own them all -- Baby Einstein, Baby Genius, So Smart -- and Baby Laureate is by far the best baby video out there. The production quality is outstanding. And my kids are mesmerized. It's such great educational content as well. I highly recommend this video! You won't be disappointed!!
