(5 stars) - my son loves it!
I caught my 5 week old son staring at the saints game on tv and was thinking "no way he is actually watching this", so we popped in this baby beethoven dvd someone bought us before he was born to see if he really would watch it this early. He loves it! We watched this morning and I dont think he turned his head away from the tv once. I even turned him around and he turned his head with the tv. It works.

(5 stars) - best baby video period
We were surprised how my baby son's attention was held by this on the tv screen at 2 months and continue to be surprised at how much he still totally loves it at 11 months. He also now laughs in recognition when the same musical pieces are being played by a normal orchestra over the radio, which I think is just amazing for a baby less than a year old when we made no effort to push him unnaturally. I was leery of a dvd being like an "electronic babysitter", but really, Mommy having a few moments to make herself a cup of tea just sets us up for better interactions all morning, and it is actually true that Baby is getting some real musical enthusiasm and development from it!

(3 stars) - Just okay
I heard people rave about these dvd's. I bought 25 of them and my son didnt give them 2 seconds of his time. I wasnt impressed with the quality. I guess whether your child likes them or not will depend on if they are a tv watcher or not.

(4 stars) - My baby loves it!
My 9 month old daughter started watching Baby Beethoven at about 6 weeks and loved it immediately. This is still, hands down, her favorite Baby Einstein DVD. She smiles just seeing the Disney intro and caterpillar. When she is truly fussy the DVD is the only thing that calms her down. I highly recommend it for younger babies.

(4 stars) - Toddler loved it
My 15 month old daughter was enraptured by this DVD from the first time I put it on. The format is great and it's a very charming package. I have to say this was the first time I have danced to Fur Elise! Appears to be a very attractive program for this age range and I would highly recommend it. The main piece is only about 30 minutes long, but there is an auto play feature which allows it to be continuously repeated.

On the downside there is a LOT of preamble to the actual program and she gets bored waiting for that to be over with, even the bits you can fast forward through, and the blackout spots between the special features are unusually long for any DVD let alone a children's program. Wasn't particularly impressed with the special features - the puppet shows are just short pieces lifted straight out of the main program, and the flash card pictures aren't all very illustrative for the age group the DVD is intended for.
