Summary: These are great movies!!
Review: These tapes are great! We never wanted our son to be a big t.v watcher,If we are going to let him watch it we wanted it to be something good for him. He is only three months old and yet when we put in the dvd as soon as it starts he is all smiles. Even when he is crabby he stops fussing when the movies are in.

Summary: Great Video - many uses
Review: This video held my daughter's attention when she was younger, and now that she is three she can run the video machine herself and will choose this one when she wants to relax. I have used it in the morning to wake up to, I find it a peaceful and serene way to start the day. When I have several children over, I find that playing this video in the background sets a tone for the atmosphere of my home - peaceful. It is also interesting and educational, and I believe it helped my daughter's development when she was a baby. It certainly has a positive affect on everyone who watches it in my house! Even adults!

Summary: Acid Trip for Infants
Review: This video is SO bad. It reminds me of the tunnel scene in the Willy Wonka movie. The flashing and strobe-like visual effects are awful. Each scene, picture, animal, etc. is flashed across the screen so quickly that no baby could possibly have time to focus on it. I'm amazed as to how this video has become popular let alone made it to market.

Summary: Entertaining to a 2 month old
Review: This video is wonderful. My baby started watching it before she was 2 months old. She especially loves the balloons and spinning objects. The narration to this video is an attention getter, just as she looks away the voice will attract her attention back for a new bright object. This video also features a nice variety of music, computer images, toys and other children. It is also nice that it exposes children to all races at an early age. I highly recommend this video and think that maybe those who didn't seem to being showing it to older babies who might enjoy the Left Brain video better. My baby will watch the Left Brain video but prefers the Right Brain as she's not ready for the spelling and counting aspects yet.

Summary: This is NOT Baby Einstein
Review: We bought the Brainy Baby CD's (left and right brain) after reading all the 5 star reviews. And true, our 16 month old will watch them - or part of them. They are way too long. And they are cheaply made compared to the Baby Einstein series - they basically takes everything that are in the Baby Einstein, the puppets, the music, the kinetic toys, the sound effect... The music is not re-orchestrated for kids and doesn't "make sense" the same way as in Baby Einstein, the sound effects are wrong, the puppet shows amateurish, and then there is an annoying voice naming the objects or shapes or colors. In one place the voice give the wrong name to a color. Nothing holds the (too) many scenes together . This is fast food for the brain - go buy Baby Van Gogh if you want some right brain nutrition.

Summary: Don't believe the hype!
Review: We bought this dvd based on the glowing reviews, but our 17 month old grew bored with it after a few minutes, where she's always interested in the Einstein dvds beginning to end. Not to mention that the visuals are identical to that of the Einstein series. If you are looking for an alternative to Baby Einstein then save your money.

Summary: BLOWS AWAY BABY MOZART & BABY GENIUS - BUY THIS!
Review: We started our baby on the DVD's early, and now at 11 weeks he goes nuts for the brainy baby right brain DVD - he loves it! He gets real excited, and shakes his hands in the air when I put it in. *** The best feature is the DVD has pictures, music AND narration...Baby Genius & Baby Mozart ONLY have pictures and music. The Brainy baby right brain explains to your child what the picture is - sometimes they explain in rhyme which makes learning easier. ALSO, this DVD doesn't have a lot of stuff to fast forward through before you get to the actual stuff. There are activities, storybook, and sing along options too...get it you won't regret this purchase.

Summary: ALL CHILDREN ARE DIFFERENT
Review: While many people are bashing this video, I seem to have no problem with it. Teaching your baby is the best thing that a parent can do. I only look to the TV as entertainment for my children, not as a babysitter or a teacher. I believe that is the problem with most people complaining that the video doesn't keep their children entertained while they do housework etc. Others complain that the voice is annoying it all depends on who is listening to it, it is not for adults it is for children. I own a large daycare, and I have had parents lend me their videos for my "movie time Fridays", and I have found that different children respond to different things. Children who are less hyper tend to keep their attention focused than their hyperactive counterparts. I believe that this video is a great buy for certain types of children, if you think that your child is a child who would like what is shown on this video then purchase it. A good way to find out about the video before you buy it is to rent it from you local library if there is a program like that in your city. Otherwise read the ratings, because unlike bad carseats, video responses vary from child to child. As far as it not being Baby Einstein, uh, duh, I think anyone who looks at the cover could see that. READ THE COVER.

Summary: Excellent learning tool
Review: Wow, what an excellent DVD! Since the first time we put it on for our 20 months old daughter, she has been hooked to it. This is an excellent DVD for kids starting from 6 months. Lots and lots of color and classical music keep the kid busy constantly. The combination of colors, objects and music greatly enhances their ability to think and relate to everyday things. I highly recommend this to all parents. My wife found out about this while searching for Baby Einstein DVD.

Summary: Brainy Baby RIGHT BRAIN
Review: You know you have a hit on your hands when even your boys want to sit and watch this wonderful video over and over again! I pass them walking around the house humming the music and even asking for art materials to try some of the things they have seen in the video. Best educational video I have seen for motivating the creative side of children and it has motivated me to buy other Brainy Baby videos. Try it-you won't be dissapointed!!
