Rating: Summary: Water Adventure Pleases our Water Baby Review: This is my 16 month old daughter's first Baby Einstein video and she absolutely LOVES it! She will sit captivated for the entire 30 minutes and watches it 4 times a day on average! She won't sit still for ANY OTHER video. The scenes are brief enough that it keeps her interest and so beautiful and peaceful that I find myself hooked as well. She especially enjoys the ducks, the puppeteering with sound effects, and the kids brushing their teeth. I have already bought her another in the series to see if we can interest her in it too. Disney did a great job exploring different types of water, activities using water, and animals that live in water. I really feel she's learning something while she watches.
Rating: Summary: A great movie Review: My 6 month old loves this movie it is one of her favorites she will watch it over and over the duck is her favorite if she is into something else & hears him he has her attention. These shows are entertaning with no violence I love them too.
Rating: Summary: Nice addition to the series Review: I found Baby Neptune to be one of the better Einstein videos. No annoying scenes of Julie's children trying to be cutesy (something that was a problem in Baby Bach), and plenty of "action" that keeps baby intrigued. I didn't find the frequent change of scenery bothersome, more importantly my baby didn't seem to have a problem with it. The music is enjoyable as usual, the puppets were fun to watch, they even brought back the silly duck with the red scarf that was featured in Baby Beethoven. It's great to see your baby recognize the characters from previous releases. There were children interlaced throughout, but nothing like Baby Santa or Baby Bach. You can tell Disney is trying to fine-tune the videos / DVD, and they did a good job with this one. This has a great balance of beautiful scenery, fun and silly toys, and nice music. I give this a thumbs up.
Rating: Summary: Great Content Review: Just like all the other Baby Eisteins, My son loves this DVD. He calls it "Neptune" and immediately learned all the animals he didn't know already. I decided to write this becuase so many of these reviews were negative. I didn't think it suffered in quality compared to other videos. Maybe their kids had outgrown the age level of these videos. My 3-year old son loves it. I like the "aquarium" feature that allows it to run as a scene on tv. Its defintely a worth while purchase.
Rating: Summary: Great Water Fun!! Review: This edition of the Baby Einstein series is truly a must have!! My son has been watching these since he was a newborn, and at 21 months he knows all his colors, most shapes, and talks-ALOT. We saw this with another child who watched these videos. Baby Neptune is also enjoyable and relaxing for parents to watch as well.
Rating: Summary: Cute, but not as good. Review: I never pay attention to the age requirements on the Baby Einstein series. I have a 5 month old son and even though he's not understanding the words and concepts yet, he loves some of the others, such as Baby Van Gogh. But with this one, he just doesn't seem to enjoy it as much. He likes the opening scene (and so do I) since it's fast moving and colorful, but after that he gets bored. Maybe it's better for older children who will understand the words like "ocean" and "river" a little more.
Rating: Summary: Great stuff for kids who like the water Review: This is a great video! My son loves it and asks for "Baby Turtle" all the time. (The other videos in the series are baby goat, baby lion, baby dragon, baby monkey etc..easy to identify) My only problem with it is the one quick scene where the child is splashing in a huge muddy puddle with his sneakers on, and making a huge mess! This of course is the scene that is most remembered, and now I have an extra laundry chore whenever it rains. Surely the scene could have been omitted, or at least he could have had on boots. Otherwise, another great baby Einstein video
Rating: Summary: we love baby neptune Review: We love all of the baby einstein productions. Although being taken over by disney has altered them, my little boy loves all of them. We have just gotten a DVD player and got this one on DVD for the first time. Sound quality is much better than on the VHS tapes. (I've had bad luck with sound quality on the tapes.) Anyway we love this one too. We also enjoy the aqaurium view with music. Another hit!!!
Rating: Summary: MAXIMUM enjoyment! Review: We just got this video last night and my two children (ages 3 years and 21 months) want to watch it over and over and over! They didn't want to go to bed last night as they were so excited over this. They don't want to play in the beautiful sunshine today because they want to watch this video. I have had to turn it off just to get them to do something else. Another hit from Baby Einstein. I personally don't care as to whether it is the same or different from earier videos . . . what I care about is whether or not my children like it whether or not we can talk about it. Both criteria were well met by this video!
Rating: Summary: Thank goodness for Neptune and keep them coming! Review: Another great video from Baby Einstein. My 18 month daughter has literally grown up on these videos and the books and we're so happy there is a new one. She loves the puppets in this one and the underwater photography is great-she runs to the tv and shots "baby" when she sees the babies in the tub, then wants to go take her bath! Seems that Julie Clark is less invovled now that Disney is running the show, but this video stands up to the rest of the series and even looks better than Baby Bach or some of the others. Another recommendation: the flash cards! The language cards are great for just talking toddlers-my daughter spreads them out and then I ask her to find me: banana, duck and she does. Great teaching tools for young ones!
