Baby Dolittle - World Animals

Summary: ...
Review: This video was lent to us by a friend of my wife's. Thank god we didn't waste our money on it. This video has way too much very [poor] puppetry, interspersed with a very little stock nature footage (probably cost them nothing) and a couple of scenes of kids in costumes ([inepensive]labour?). Our 18 month old daughter enjoyed (or, anyways, watched) the video once, but now only wants to see the actual nature footage. I don't blame her as the other parts are horrible. If you want some nature footage though, this video is not the way to go. Get something from PBS or the BBC, something that actually has educational value, not this piece of***.

Summary: Downhill since Disney takeover
Review: If you own Neighborhood Animals you will be VERY dissappointed in this release. NA was released under the original company, while this release was under Disney. Lots of corner (and time and footage) seem to have been cut. The segments are short, and the "digital flash cards" on this DVD are IDENTICAL to the ones on Neighborhood animals, so you get cheated on that...
I won't be buying any Disney Baby Einstein releases after seeing how this one was SO short changed.

Summary: Excellent video!!
Review: My 18 month old daughter loves this video. She has a smile on her face and laughs through the entire video and she has watched it 4-5 times a week for the past month and hasn't gotten bored yet! We first purchased the Neighborhood Animals when she was about 14 months old and it was all she wanted to watch (she especially loved the kids singing Old MacDonald). Now she prefers the World Animals over the Neighborhood Animals (but you never know with a toddler, it could change tomorrow!).

Summary: Great video
Review: Like the Neighborhood animals video, my son did not take to this one right away (he was used to his Baby Mozart and Bach). But by 8 months old, he loved it and it is now one of his favorites at 11 mos. The pictures of the animals are great and will keep a baby's interest. I also recommend the Baby Dolittle flash cards, which have the same beautiful pictures as this video. Highly recommended.

Summary: Learning and Fun
Review: My 2 year old loves this video. We also have the neighborhood animals. He has learned all of the animals and their sounds! It has been very educational and entertaining. Our 7 month old will watch it also but he is more interested in the language nursery video (which is great too)!!! My 2 year old loves these videos and wants to watch them over and over again. I highly recomend them for parents looking to teach animals to their child. More appropriate for toddlers than babies. Go Einstein!!

Summary: Captivating for all children!
Review: This is the second Baby Einstein video I bought, the first being Neighborhood Animals. It is so colorful and eye catchy to young children. My child is 28-month's old with Autism. She normally does not like to watch videos for more then 10 minutes, but this one captivates her for the entire 30 minutes. Do not let the 101 minutes on the label fool you, that is 30 minutes of video and 61 minutes of music you can listen to like a CD. The animals are: Tigers, Elephants, Tropical Parrots, Giraffes, Dolphins, among many others all beautifully filmed in action. It is much like a really good PBS Nature show, but with each animal on the screen for no more then 5 minutes. In-between the animals segments there are puppets playing and some toys to watch- all animals of course. We love this video and it looks incredible on DVD! A must have as well as Neighborhood Animals. I just bought some more Baby Einstein DVD's and will review those as well, but the animal ones are by far the best.

Summary: Excellent choice
Review: My one year old son is stimulated not only by the real life images;but by the music. He has all of the Baby Einstein videos and we are in love with the series. We also like the So Smart videos.

Summary: My daughter's favorite video
Review: This was my daughter's 1st video. We received it as a gift from my mother when Ryder was 6 months old and she was hooked. She wanted to watch it everyday and she asked for it by name. At 8 months, She learned how to say "Jane" (after the monkey puppet's name)when she wanted to watch the video. at 9 months, she said "bird," and now at 12 months, she can recognze and say all the animals featured on this video. her language has greatly improved through Baby Shakespeare as well. I love these videos!!!

Summary: Another hit!
Review: I absolutely LOVE all of these video's! They are the ONLY ones that work with my daughter. She is now 14 months old, and has watched them since she was 2 months old. I couldn't live without them! In fact...as I type this she is glued to the TV now!

Summary: Baby Dolittle - World Animals
Review: My 2-year-old daughter was mesmerized by this video. It is a wonderful combination of puppetry and footage of real animals, and was extremely well done. We very much enjoyed some of the other Baby Einstein videos when she was younger (Baby Bach, Baby Mozart, Baby Einstein), and this was a wonderful addition to our collection as she is getting a little bit older. This will definitely be a video that we watch over and over and over again.
