Rating: Summary: Another fun DVD... Review: If your children are looking for something more about the ocean and they're getting a little older - they should also check out "Captain Jon's Ocean Adventure" (also available on Amazon)
Rating: Summary: Love that duck Review: I purchased this video on vhs for my 9 month old son and It's on of his favorites. Even I wander in the room for the synchronized rubber ducks at the end. I think that the puppet work in this video holds his attention even more than the moving toys. I completely believe that this is one of the better movies the collection has done.
Rating: Summary: A Great Addition to the Series! Review: My 13 month old son loves all of the DVD's in the Baby Einstein series. He starts smiling as soon as he sees the caterpillar crawl across the screen, and this DVD is one of his favorites. He loves to watch the babies taking baths and the older kids playing in the puddles. Other fun parts are the segments where the kids play "peek-a-boo" and the segments with the ducks and otters swimming. There is another segment where a diver is feeding fish in an aquarium, and my son gets really excited that the man waves to him. He will start waving at the TV several minutes before the segment comes on, just so he doesn't miss it! I highly recommend the DVD version of Baby Neptune, because of the additional aquarium material. My son loves to watch the fish, jellyfish, and other animals swim around, and the music on this part is very relaxing. It is great for watching just before bedtime. This was definitely worth the money.
Rating: Summary: Sea for yourself! Review: My 10 month old daughter has every video in this series. This one is her favorite. I can put her in her saucer, put on the dvd, and I have 30 whole minutes to have a shower and get ready without interruption. I don't believe in letting the tv babysit, but for those times that you need 30 minutes to get something done, this dvd is captivating.
Rating: Summary: MY SON'S FAVORITE BABY EINSTEIN VIDEO!!! Review: My son is six months old and he absolutely LOVES Baby Neptune! It is his favorite video in the Baby Einstein series. The packaging says "nine months and up," but he already enjoys it so much. He loves watching the tropical fish, dolphins, whale and sea turtle, and he giggles and tries to talk to the duck, octopus and turtle puppets when they appear. We're thrilled, because we love water and hope he will enjoy it as he gets older as well. The beautiful music and real underwater footage, combined with the darling baby and puppet scenes, make this a pleasure to watch --- even for Mommy and Daddy! We want to limit the amount of TV viewing he does, but we love sharing high-quality, educational viewing opportunities like this with him and seeing his face light up. It's wonderful --- don't miss it!
Rating: Summary: Great DVD for baby! Review: My son loves water - bath, pool, rain - so this was the first Baby Einstein video that I purchased. It is still his favorite after five months. His face lights up when he sees the duck and turtle come on screen. Since buying this DVD, I have purchased Baby Mozart, Bach, Neighborhood Animals and Van Gogh (his second favorite). The mix of music, puppets and real video footage is a winning combination. Great baby shower or birthday gift for babies.
Rating: Summary: Not engaging Review: Our 15-month-old son is fascinated by other Baby Einstein DVD's (particularly Baby Van Gogh and Baby Shakespeare), but this just doesn't hold his attention. It's clear that different hands are at work on this title -- which followed the sale of the Baby Einstein company to Disney -- and that they don't necessarily understand how BE works. The music is as good as ever (thanks to the long-time personnel in the "Baby Einstein Orchestra"), but the visuals are a mess. Earlier titles would show a scene and stick with it for a while, and transition between similar scenes, for example, from one toy to another, or between different views of the same toy. This video madly intercuts between toys, nature footage, and pictures of children... completely missing the simpler approach of earlier titles. The puppet shows are more elaborate, but are they any more charming? No. To its credit, it's not larded down with obnoxious and intrusive advertising like other Disney titles, but overall you'd still be better with the earlier titles that Julie Aigner-Clark and her people were directly involved in.
Rating: Summary: Good for a water baby Review: I had read some of the other reviews in which people thought this might not be a good DVD. How ever my son loves the water. He has loved this video since 6 months, now 1 year he still watches attentively. This is not the best DVD of the series but it is a nice way to show all the water around. Which is actually very calming. You would need to judge your child yourself. As for my friends baby and mine they both love this video.
Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Review: Our 16-month old son was captivated by this newest Baby Einstein video from the moment we turned it on. He LOVES water and is especially enchanted with all the sea animals. He points to the TV, saying, "Ooooo! Ooooh!" or asking "Wa zat?" He always imitates the moving crab toy you see at the beginning of the video and just laughs and laughs at the puppets. We took the video to his private day-care setting and the kids there LOVED it -- even the older ones! Now, it makes a regular appearance in his diaper bag. They lady he stays with during the day just raves over this video in particular, and we have a few in our collection. This video is beautifully filmed, is visually captivating, is highly educational, and is so much fun to watch. Even I can't resist watching it from start to finish!
Rating: Summary: A lifesaver! Review: We bought the Baby Neptune tape for our 3-month old daughter. I was a little worried that she was too young for it, but she was captivated by the music and colors and didn't take her eyes off the screen. She actually squealed every time the duck puppet appeared! This could be a lifesaver when household chores need to get done!
