Summary: 1 year old AND astronomy loving dad LOVE IT
Review: I will admit up front that this is the only BE video we own. However, our 1 year old loves it. I read many of the 1 star reviews before and after getting the video. I really wonder if some of them were watching the same video that I was...since there were lots of puppets, not animation and other statements that just don't match.My little girl squeals with delight when baby Galileo comes on the screen. She is mezmerized the entire length of the video. It is not a "get up and dance" kind of attention but rather a pointing and clapping kind. My husband, who is a high end amateur astronomer, really likes that he is able to start her interest in astronomy early. They go over clouds, moon, sun and stars with some nice imagery. But they also do all of the planets with actual images of the planets with all of the names and galaxies as well with actual images of different kinds of galaxies. The segment on space is is a little strange, but it is a natural progression where they show space as a cluster of galaxies.

Summary: Highly Disappointing
Review: We have the entire Einstein collection and were very excited to see the new one. First of all, one of my child's favorite part is the little caterpillar that comes out at the beginning of the video-missing from the new Galileo! They used different puppets rather than hand held and it just wasn't the same quality. Whereas my baby sits virtually hypnotized by the other videos, he is not impressed with this one at all, he's bored after about 15 minutes. I was planning on picking up Newton but I think I'm going to wait and see what other parents comment first.

Summary: Another great Baby Einstein DVD
Review: My 1 yr old son loves this DVD. We have many other Baby Einstein DVD's, he has watched them since he was 6 weeks old. They all will keep his attention. Galileo is very relaxing. The music is really good, too. It's one we play in the evening as we are winding down to bath/bedtime. I highly recommend it.

Summary: A Great DVD!!!
Review: My 9 month old son just loved this movie!! He loves the characters as well as the music they play in it. It keeps his attention during the entire length of the movie which is no small feat when it comes to my son! Ha Ha. It helps give me a break when I need to clean house or something else. This is the first Baby Einstein DVD I have bought and will definitely be purchasing others.

Summary: ***Twins love this the best!!***
Review: Simply put, of all the Baby Einstein DVDs we own, and we have almost all of them, this Baby Galileo is the Einstein DVD my six month old boy/girl twins just lay and stare at for the entire 30 minutes, and more when I have it on repeat play. ;) I've watched them watch this and other DVDs and I must say, there's definitely something about this one that mesmerizes them...maybe it's the music, or the colors, or the stars, I don't know, but it holds their attention fully. I just saw my baby girl smiling up at the stuffed animal puppets and "scooted" towards the television to get a closer look. My baby boy just stares at the whole thing seriously. *****************************************************************

Summary: Such a letdown
Review: I, like so many others, thought FANTASTIC a new one! Boy, was it a huge disappointment. My son (12 months) actually started crying and was frightened in some of the fast-moving, flying saucering scenes. The flow was terrible and the puppets weren't even that entertaining. He absolutely loves the Baby Einstein series, but this latest attempt was a flop! It seemed entirely too contrived and forced and didn't feel the same as the previous ones. If this is what we are to expect for future additions, we won't be buying!

Summary: wonderful!!!
Review: Our 14-month-old loves this DVD as much as her other ones we have. I think they did as great a job as one could possibly do explaining our universe to toddlers, and the images they did are really great. I think they could have picked a few more original pieces for music, but I like what they used. My daughter REALLY loves watching the kangaroo come on the screen with the balloons - she gets really excited and says "up"! Overall, I'd really recommend this one. It's a great tool with great pictures, and one that really seems to appeal to the older kids too.

Summary: Poor quality and too many toys -- UGH!
Review: I don't know why I keep buying Baby Einstein tapes for my kids, but I keep thinking that maybe Disney will up the quality or educational content or something. Wrong! This tape is full of the same basement production quality, annoying music box music and too many toys. I consider myself a fairly bright individual and I can't fathom how watching toys onscreen is beneficial for young children. We watched this once, and we won't watch it again.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: We have several of the Baby Einstein DVD's and this is the only one my 14 mos. won't sit still for. About 10 minutes into it, she gets up to go play. When watching the others she is mezmerized. Definitely the least entertaining.

Summary: Great Video to Watch Together!
Review: At 24 months, I have only recently allowed my daughter to watch TV/videos. Galileo is our first Baby Einstein video, and my daughter and I very much enjoy watching it together. If you want a video to keep your child passively mesmerized while you attend to household chores, then this probably isn't the video for you. However, it's a great video to watch together. The visuals of clouds, stars, moon, planets, and galaxies are stunning, but are probably best viewed with adult interaction to help label objects and relate them to the child's experience.
