Customer Rating: Summary: Classical Baby is amazing! Comment: My son loves to watch these great short cartoons set to wonderful pieces of music. He took to this right away, and it made us feel good that if he was going to watch 30 minutes of tv, at least he was being exposed to classical music, famous works of art, and dance. I highly recommend these dvd's, more so than Baby Einstein or any other programming for babies. Customer Rating: Summary: Tender hearted characters Comment: The characters in these cartoons are wonderful, so warm and sweet. Their movements are gracefully filled with a non-verbal communication of the enjoyment of life and being in the moment. The characters seem genuinely pleased to be in one another's presence. These cartoons not only introduce children to classical music, but show them how they can feel the complex works moving through their bodies.
I believe these will stand the test of time. As a an adult looking back on shows I liked as a child I feel disappointed in the way many of them took advantage of my ignorance, and seemed to be more than they really were.
Do a search on youtube for 'classical baby' and see if you can find some animation clips to help you make up your own mind about how these DVD's make you feel.
Customer Rating: Summary: classical baby -great for the whole family Comment: these cd's are great to have playing while you are cooking or just relaxing with your little one. Music and artwork are lovely together. colors and drawings are choreographed so elegant and yet playful. must buy Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointed Comment: Each DVD is very short and fails to capture my child's attention. It just doesn't engage him. I don't get it. He enjoys the Baby Einstein series. It must be a live action versus animation thing. Regardless, I think there's better out there if you want to expose your kids to classical music. Customer Rating: Summary: best dvd's for babies!! ever!! Comment: we originally received a sample of this dvd collection during pregnancy. after our baby was born, he loved it!! so during one of his hospitalizations (special-needs child), we bought the 3-pack. and we were so glad we did. our boy was totally mesmerized by the videos - which helped us so much to keep him calm and still in that hospital bed with tubes and wires.
i have to disagree with a previous reviewer. each video is different, different songs, different "stories" - just the same characters (animals). the baby is a little hard to understand, but he doesn't talk much anyway.
no matter what's going on and how upset he may be, when we turn on these videos (even today at 2yrs old), he immediately stops and watches them with intensity. he absolutely loves them!!
well worth the money. a PERFECT baby shower gift!!
