Movie Reviews of Baby Einstein - Baby Van Gogh - World of Colors
Movie Review: Baby Homer Simpson? DVDs not for babies even if "Einstein" is in the name...
Summary: 1 Stars
The name "Baby Einstein" is a nice way to lull parents into feeling okay about their babies watching tv, but according to the American Academy of Pediatrics babies should not be exposed to television at all before they're 2 years old! According to Time Magazine and the Boston Globe,
"...among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age."
Brain wave activity in babies is actually slower when watching television than when *sleeping*, and yet another study shows that for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of having an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%. (Example, 5 hours a day = 50% greater chance of ADD). I like William Sears' advice that "relationships, not things, make babies smarter". The easiest way to make babies smarter? Carry them in a sling, since it is proven to make them smarter because they are relating to you physically, emotionally, verbally, and visually. For more information carrying a baby in a sling see the Listmania list "Natural Parenting for Baby's First Year". Also, if you want to check the facts out for yourself you can start by google-ing "television and baby studies".
Movie Review: My baby loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
My child at 4 months old watched this video on a trip to G-ma's house (a 9 hour drive) Over that time he watched it 3 times (it's about 20 minutes long). The first time through he would look at it and get excited occasionally but was not captivated. By the 3rd time he saw it, he was squealing with delight through the entire video.Movie Review: World of Colors -

Summary: 2 Stars
We own alot of the Baby Einstein products. Our son really enjoys watching the DVD's. Recently we purchased Baby Van Gogh- World of Colors, I have to say, this one is our least favorite! Some of the sound effects are so loud they scare my son! On each color they have a poem, well, you have to turn your volume way up to hear what they are saying! If you forget to turn it back down, the sound effects are even louder!! I would not recommend this DVD unless you really feel you want to purchase it for your child! Though it would be nice to introduce your child to color, I would recommend finding another type of movie to do so! Unless you want to sit with your child each time he/she watches this with the remote on hand to keep turning the volume up and then back down! It just frustrates me, so needless to say, we don't watch this one!! Movie Review: Good

My daughter actually likes the very beginning of the show, and then loses interest...but that is probably typical for her age. Otherwise not a bad product.
