The Aquarium
A 15-minute video field trip to an aquarium! Engaging images of water animals from an aquarium will delight both you and your little one in this fun and entertaining learning experience. Charming listening experiences await you and your child in the Baby Neptune Aquarium, which features the classical music of Handel, Telemann, Beethoven and Strauss. The classical scores included on this DVD were re-orchestrated for little ears by the Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra and are some of the composers’ most popular works.
Discovery Cards
Interactive Discovery Cards are a first of its kind application for DVD technology. A new set of Baby Einstein™ Discovery Cards has been created and featured here in video still frames. Parents and children can “step” through more than a dozen engaging visuals of water and animals found in the sea, labeling the pictures with written vocabulary words, and listening to the natural sounds made by the animals.

We are relative newcomers to the Baby Einstein revolution. My twins were 15 months before we bought their first one - Baby Beethoven. We just recently purchased Baby Neptune and Baby Galileo.This is a fine DVD with wonderful music, but it just doesn't hold the attention of my boys the way Baby Beethoven does. I begin to wonder if kids don't just attach to the first Baby Einstein video/DVD they get and that's always their favorite... This is a bit shorter, and my kids seem to especially like the scenes in Beethoven with the kinetic toys, which are not as evident here. Always keep in mind as parents watching the Baby Einstein series that the images are for the KIDS and not the parents - yes, I find them a tad boring, but the boys love them, and that's what is important! I like the special features on this DVD, including the "discovery cards" and the cd-ROM coloring book. These are nice extras. All in all, a fine video - and as I said, not my kids' favorite, but not the one they're most familiar with, either.

We have seen all of the Einstein's and this is by far my son's favorite, although at 14 1/2 months he now likes Newton and Van Gogh almost as much. He and I both love the music and the real world images, and unlike a previous reviewer I think that the fast pace of the images keeps him interested. He was never very into watching the toys that abound in Bach, Mozart and Beethoven - instead he seems drawn to things he sees in the world around him. He loves the puppets and the kids (I have no idea why people have a problem with Julie's kids in her video's - who cares?). I also like the way the video is broken into segments and that everything in the segment goes together (i.e. "water at the ocean" has images that belong in the ocean, "water at my house" has images from around the house, ...) The complexity of the information is also appropriate for the age group - not too easy (...) or too complicated (...). I would strongly recommend this video for the 6 - 24 month age group.

My baby does like this video, but I can't stand it. I first purchased Baby Mozart and Baby Beethoven and liked them a lot, but when my daughter got older (6 months) I decided to try something new. So I bought her some of the Fisher Price videos. She loves them, and I do too. Then I decided to try this video because unlike Mozart and Beethoven they actually have nature scenes and stuff in this video. My daughter is entertained, but the way they try to make the kids in this video all "cutesy" is annoying. The kids in the Fisher Price videos are very cute. They're filmed doing many different activities, playing with moms and dads, sleeping, eating. Very cute. But the kids in this video are always mugging for the camera - a complete turn-off for me. So, I gave this video two stars because it definitely entertains my daughter. But only two stars because I can't stomach it myself.

My child cries when I put this one in. He hates the animated dancing crayons. Let me just say that these movies have such an appeal to babies because, in the exact words of Julie Clark, "they capture the sights and sounds of baby's real world." I don't know about you, but there are no computer animated, singing and dancing crayons in my child's real world. I think Disney forgot that the simplicity of these movies is what makes them so loveable. Pass on this one and stick with the earlier versions (before Disney took over)My child adores Bach, Mozart and both the Dolittles.

My 7 month old loves this DVD. It says it is for 9 month olds. She has watched it since birth. She has others, but this one really gets her excited! I do not advocate children watching television. However, this will give you a chance to eat dinner every now and then.
