Baby Beethoven [VHS]

It's always sketchy purchasing used DVD/CD's online but was relieved and pleased when this arrived as described in good cosmetic condition and I had no issues playing it all the way through! Thank you!

My four-month-old son just loves Baby Beethoven and Baby Mozart. Their very similiar in format -- lovely music, colorful toys, objects spinning, etc. So if you're looking for a couple Baby Einstein films to start your collection for your young infant, Baby Beethoven would be perfect. My son loves it -- he smiles and giggles when he knows it's coming on, he laughes and "talks" to the puppets, and wiggles his legs all around. I think I even saw his swaying or dancing one time.So if your baby is very young (say, under 8 months or so?), I recommend sticking to this type of film -- where your child loves the colors, movements, shapes, etc. But be careful moving on to other Baby Einstein films. My four-month-old hated Baby Neptune, since it had more real life footage -- kids playing in a puddle, a whale crashing into the sea, etc. Not the most exciting for a young infant. I think it just has to do with colors and silliness -- my son even loves the VeggieTales DVDs -- and not an interest in seeing actual people.

My grandbaby loves this. No problem with purchase or delivery

My son has the entire Baby Einstein collection and LOVES them. I highly recommend purchasing "Baby Mozart" and "Baby Beethoven" first. He started watching these at four months. Now, he is two and enjoys the more advanced ones much better, but this one was a life saver the first year. As far as the reviewer who said do yourself a favor and buy a camcorder . . . sure, these videos are simplistic and maybe that person could have made a better DVD in their basement, but they didn't, and the maker of Baby Einstein is a millionaire. They are not "horrible, horrible" videos. Many infants and young children LOVE them, and other "fancier" videos will bore them for the most part. My son was mesmerized, and that is all that counts! Socks for puppets and all! It is worth your money to try one, although I would try "Baby Mozart" first.

My daughter has been fascinated with this DVD since she was 4 months old. She is almost 7 months old, and she still loves it just as much. We put it on in the evening as a "wind down" activity for her. She Loves this video so much she gets upset if anyone bothers her in any way. It is so precious to watch her lean forward at stare at the screen each and every time. She also loves "Baby Newton" and "Baby Mozart"....but Baby Beethoven is, by far, her favorite. I would have to HIGHLY recommend this video!!

Since receiving this product, my baby girl has been mezmerized by the DVD from the first time she watched it at 4 months. As a mom, I love the music (it doesn't get better than Beethoven!), the used of shapes, colors, and characters in the Baby Einstein series, as well as the fact that it provides a great opportunity for my baby and I to interact TOGETHER along with the DVD talking about what we see and learning new things each time we watch it. It's fascinating to watch, even for me as an adult! I'm so very glad we got it!!!

1. the actual video content is only a few minutes2. over half of the tape is commercials and sales promotions3. i don't believe that this contributes more to development than anything else. of all the music in the world, it turns out that only the most banal and common are good for development?4. even if you use the 'continuous play' option, the idiotic copyright notice and 'hello I'm Julie Clark' are repeated each time, provoking an endless 'wah' from baby.5. at the end they say 'thanks for your support, baby einstein can make contributions to charitable organizations'. baloney. why do they need to add this lie?in general, i wouldn't recommend anything from the baby einstein line. we bought three at the recommendation of friends and have been very disappointed. the entire einstein line is very much lowest common denominator technology and bestseller mentality.i have found that the wiggles are a much better buy. my baby is engaged, and started clapping and dancing at a very early age to 'participate' in the program.

I purchased this for my daughter after a friend lent me the Baby Einstein Baby Neptune DVD. She was 9 months old at the time (now one year) and still loves it. While I am not a proponent of using the television as a baby sitter,however this DVD does allow me to get things done while in the same room as her. I don't find the music annoying at all, in fact I actually enjoy it. I also like the fact it exposes her to classical music while also visually stimulating her.

Great. Brand New. Fast shipping. Thank you.

You know what you say - "my baby will never watch telly" Well this will change your mind - great for helping your child be distracted from a crying fit (esp around tea time) calming them down and generally entertaining them for 25-30 mins while you re group. Also contains lots of "educational toys that can inspire you for future amazon sprees

このシリーズは全部持ってますが、気のせいか、特にこの作品は画像のざらつきが目立つような気がしました。他の作品も、32インチのテレビで見てると、三倍モードで録画した映像を見てるみたいで、気にはなっていたのですが。内容は、他のものと同じく、音楽に合わせておもちゃが動いたりするものです。ただ、この内容で、シリーズ内では高めのこの値段も気になります。このシリーズの音楽ものは、モーツアルトやバッハから始めるほうがいいと思います。
