VHS Movie Reviews of Baby Van Gogh [VHS]
Movie Review: Daughter loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
DVD came fast and in perfect condition. My daughter is 4 months old and she loves these videos!Movie Review: One of my kids' favorite Baby Einstein movies
Summary: 5 Stars
Baby Van Gogh's music, live action sequences, and toys capture my kids' attention from the first second. And it's one of the few kids' movies I can handle hearing over and over. Highly recommended. Movie Review: too much advertising/not real instruments/hyper segments
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an very good DVD, and you can read the other reviews to find out why. But I give it 4 stars because I find it objectionable that they subject the viewer--in this case, a baby!--to so much advertising and branding. Their corporate logo stays on the screen repeatedly, for a very long time...quite a bit longer than any of the van Gogh paintings!!!
Another weak point of this DVD is that the lovely classical music is reproduced on a synthesizer. If they really cared about introducing children to classical music in the best way, they would have licensed recordings of the world's great orchestras and soloists to use as their soundtrack. Not that all the music would have to be orchestral, but synthesizer has its limitations, esp. with a piece like "Bolero" that sounds terrific played by an orchestra.
Also, every couple of minutes they present a couple of hyperactive oddly-colored snowmen accompanied by frenetic music. I make a point of fast-forwarding through this...I find these intruders rather annoying and don't understand why the producers included them, except to bend to some kind of marketing research that they had to include some hyper music.
A final quibble: as they introduce each color, they include a little poem about the color. However the sound volume of the poem is considerably lower than the music that preceded it. In short, we can't hear it unless we turn up the volume for every poem, and then turn it down when the program continues.
Movie Review: Love this video!
Summary: 5 Stars
Once again, this is a fantastic Baby Einstein video. I am so impressed by the many educational features of this video. My baby loves it!!!!Movie Review: My daughter's favorite!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have many Baby Einstein DVD's. This is by far my 15 month old daughter's favorite. She has had it for 3 months now and is learning to talk. After her first viewing, her new favorite word is "goat". She wants "goat" everywhere we go that she sees a TV. If she sees any DVD box or CD case, she requests "goat". She is not mistaking "goat" for the word movie since she says "movie" or "TV" on the rare occasion that she wants to watch something else. If we hold out 3-4 dvd cases for her to choose from, she always picks this one if it is there.
She loves the puppets, jumps up and down for certain scenes and laughs out loud often every time she watches it.
She usually sits on our lap, but always has to get up and dance for one particular song, then comes back to snuggle. She has started telling us what is coming next 1 second before it comes on the screen. (purple, ball, yellow, car etc...)
A great buy!
