Summary: It's not Baby Einstein any more
Review: Personally, I was mildly excited about Disney buying the Baby
Einstien company. They had more resources to develop more
products and bring them to market, perhaps faster. A
Family-oriented entertainment company buying an infant-oriented
entertainment company. It made sense.Unfortunately, they have effectively killed Baby Einstein.
Instead of a video of "real world objects" they have gone
computer-generated. Ok, the intro is classic Baby Einstein
stuff, but that's where it ends. It is not recognizable as a
Baby Einstein DVD after the intro. Get Baby Mozart & Baby Bach for your very young infant. They
will love it and you have a built-in 20 minute baby sitter so
you can eat dinner. Both of my twins LOVE these. Add Baby Shakespeare, Baby Santa and the Baby Doolittles when
your baby reaches 6 to 10 months. I used-to consider the Baby
Einstein tape the dog of the bunch, but that distinction is
now reserved for Baby Newton.

Summary: Works like the rest
Review: My 1 year old son loves this video -- even though it's been 'disney-ized'. With the exception of the crayon and clown animation it's the same type of stuff from the other baby einstein videos that's kept your child busy for that precious 30 minutes while you're eating dinner.

Summary: A Big Stinker!
Review: My 14 month old has all of the Baby Einstein videos, so I was excited when I learned a new one was being released. My son really liked all the other videos because of the soothing classical music, the children, the toys and the puppets. I was a little wary when I found out that Disney had bought the company, but decided to buy the video anyway. I should have listened to my hunch, because the video turned out to be awful! Instead of children, there is this awful computer animation of dancing crayons and a creepy clown made of shapes. There are not as many toys and very few puppets. They also added this bad song about shapes which is very loud and jarring, unlike the classical music I have come to enjoy when watching the other videos. Do yourself a favor - don't buy this video if you expect to see the cute kids, toys and puppets that we all have come to expect from this video series. I wish I had read some reviews before I bought the video!

Summary: baby's favorite
Review: My son adores everything from baby einstein, and this is his new favorite. The shapes song is very James Brown-ish, and a nice diversion from the classical music, which is also great. Highly recommended.

Summary: Not as good as the others, but not THAT bad.
Review: While I do agree with the other reviewers that this is not the best of the Baby Einstein bunch (and we own ALL of them) I must say that my two year old daughter does really enjoy it. It amazes me that people seem to get really upset when these videos come out. Look at past reviews for some of the other ones like Baby Bach, Van Gogh etc. and you'll see what I mean. I almost didn't buy it because of all the negative reviews this one got. I'm glad I did though. For 16 bucks you really can't go wrong. It's at least worth a try and like me you might be surprised at how much your children will like it. Yes Mrs.Clarke (if you're reading this) kids do like seeing other kids and lots of puppets (which Newton lacks), but overall another nice effort in a great series of videos.

Summary: Not up to par with the others...
Review: We own all Baby Einstein videos and my daughter loves them all except this one. I agree with the other review - the clown was creepy and the music wasn't great. I wish I had skipped this one.

Summary: My son cried!
Review: We own and love ALL the Einstein videos EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE! My 14-month old son watched this one and wouldn't even crack a smile, even when I pointed out things on the video and made silly faces and gestures to encourage him. He just stared at the screen and at one point, even starting crying because something scared him! My husband watched it with him one more time later to see if it was maybe just his mood, but he acted the same way and cried again at the same spot! Don't buy it!

Summary: Deeply disappointed
Review: ...I wasted my money on this video. My daughter just absolutely loves all of the other Baby Einstein videos and does not care for Baby Newton at all. I felt that the animation did not personalize the video and really did not connect with the child...My daughter will not even sit through this one once.

Summary: Babies love it!
Review: My two-year-old twins are HUGE fans of all the Baby Einstein videos, and this one is their new favorite! While the animation is new to them, the segments with real world objects are familiar and the music is, as always, fantastic. They love pointing out the shapes as the different scenes come on screen. Another winner!

Summary: The same old thing just got worse
Review: I quite enjoy a few from the Einstein selection with both of my children, 18 months and almost 4. We don't watch them as often as Blue's Clue's or Baby Know-It-All, but the mesmerizing images are sometimes great for bedtime, especially Van Gogh, and Mozart.
When we saw this one we were absolutely disappointed. Up until now, we've come to expect more of the same thing just done a little differently from Baby Einstein. That was fine, because we tend to get sick of watching one of the series to much. but, Newton is different, and in this case, we would have preferred more of the same. The animation is not really interesting, even to the over 2 years crowd, which it is too slow for. That something that this series had is no longer there. We gave it away 2 weeks after buying it. With videos like Baby KNow-It-All, you get solid edu-tainment, and blues Clues you get creative edu-tainment through cartoons. With Mozart you get a quiet baby, with Newton you get nothing.
