Movie Reviews of Brainy Baby: Right Brain
Movie Review: Better than Baby Einstein
Summary: 5 Stars
Since she was 3 weeks old, my now 17-month old daughter has been watching the Baby Einstein series (we have Baby Mozart, Einstein, Doolittle, and Santa). These "video board books" have been the only ones that she will sit still and watch for more than a few minutes. Then, upon a recommendation contained in a negative review of the new Baby Newton (which I decided not to buy), I purchased Brainy Baby-Right Brain. What a difference! This is a fantastic video and from the first moment, my daughter was glued to the TV. The concept of Brainy Baby is similar to Baby Einstein, and there are the familiar elements of puppets, toys, classical music, etc. However, unlike Baby Einstein, there are a lot of children with varying ethnicities, and not just the same images of Julie Clark's blond kids and their friends. There is a little narration every now and then to help teach vocabulary like "bear," clouds," red," "blue", etc. Finally, at about 45 minutes long, you get 20 more minutes of video for about the same price of Baby Einstein.
Although I am still a Baby Einstein fan (esp. Baby Santa), I gotta admit that the Brainy Baby series is terrific. If I had started out on Brainy Baby to begin with, I may not have bothered with Baby Einstein. I am looking forward to purchasing the rest of this series.
Movie Review: Brainy Baby - Right Brain
Summary: 5 Stars
Our family has both the Brainy Baby series and the baby einstein videos. Brainy Baby simply beats Baby Einstein hands down! Most reviews (and everyone that we talk to) give Brainy Baby a 5 star rating. There may be a few moms that disagree, but I seriously question their judgement! The Brainy Baby series is most certainly worth the investment. As a mom, here is what I would tell you: If you put a Baby Einstein video in the VCR, what does your child learn?... that's right... NOTHING! Just pretty pictures. If your child watches Brainy Baby, they actually LEARN their ABC's, 123's, Colors, etc. as well as being entertained with BEAUTIFUL images! (Not to mention that Brainy Baby is 50% longer than Einstein for the same price). Brainy Baby has not only taught our 17 month old daughter the ENTIRE alphabet, but it has been a lifesaver for my sanity too! I can't imagine any home without Brainy Baby.Movie Review: 5 Stars Better than baby einstein stuff!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The parent reviewers who think this series is "just copying Baby einstein" have got it all wrong - I've had this Left Brain/Right Brain set (on VHS) since BEFORE the BE videos came out, and they have always been my children's favorites. What we like about them is that they are intelligent and are always teaching something, as opposed to the einstein which is just mindless (if colorful) entertainment. My pre-schooler has grown from these infant-videos on up the series to the Shapes & Colors, Art & Music, Animals, and other Brainy Baby videos for older kids, and now my 1-year old is growing into a Brainy Baby, herself! How many 18-month olds can tell you what an orangutan is, or the difference between a circle and an oval, or that the color of our van is "silver?" My son could - from watching these videos! We love 'em - you will too!Movie Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Right Brain and Left Brain series before we had ever seen any other kind of of baby video/DVD. I had to write a review because my daughter absolutely loves them. Once the show starts she literally stops everything and watches intently, stopping only to clap her hands and squeal! She loved them so much that we ran out and got some Baby Einstein videos, which she likes but they don't seem to have the same appeal. The Brainy Baby's are definitely more compelling for her and seem to be more educational than entertaining. She began watching these occasionally at 9 months or so - she is now 13 months and still loves both Left and Right versions. We are very pleased that we bought these - yes the effects are a bit low tech (as other reviewers have mentioned), but my daughter doesn't seem to care!
Movie Review: My triplets love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have Right Brain and Left Brain. My triplets, who have very different personalities, liked Baby Einstein better when they were still in bouncers and crawling around. Now that they are toddlers at 22 mos, they've been enjoying Brainy Baby better. They still like Baby Einstein but since that only has music they just get the enjoyment of the pictures and music and such and the visual fun. With Brainy Baby, they are now learning because the narrator will say what's on the screen instead of just seeing it, so they are learning more now and understanding. For us, Baby Einstein is better for the infants, where Brainy Baby is better for the toddlers ages 1+ to start. But we love it! I didn't know they made more but now that I know I'm going to start buying the others! They love them!
