Brainy Baby Right Brain Infant Learning DVD: Creative Thinking Infant Brain Development Classic Edition

As my title says, both my 2 1/2 year old toddler and my little 9 month old baby absolutely adore this video... nothing gets my toddler as excited as when I put this DVD in! She is very interactive with it and shouts answers at the TV screen. It is very mesmerizing, especially for a baby. It can seem a little cheaply made, but it in no way takes away from the overall effect of the movie.Some examples of the movie that my babies love: finding pictures in the clouds such as a teddy bear or a boat. She loves to shout the answers!Mixing paint colors together to get other colors... really helped my 2 year old learn her colors!Close ups of fun toys really tickled my 9 month old!There are voices narrating the whole video, such as "Look at the pretty purple flower" and my daughter seems to really love that and it has gotten her talking a lot more and being more vocal.A great purchase and VERY entertaining for the little kids and babies! I am very pleased. Also shipped very quickly and was packaged great.

I bought this DVD for my 7 week old thinking that you can never be too young to jumpstart learning and I love the video. It's entertaining to me and my son is fascinated by the colors and sounds. I will be able to use it for a couple of years because of the many different sequences they have. Intricate toys being played with, colors being painted, and several sequences involving cups being stacked inside each other according to size. The video is simply full of many fun things with a soothing classical score. If I were a toddler, I'd wish I were on the video playing with the toys or painting.

I bought this, and Left Brain, together for my baby girl when she was 3 months old. She LOVES these Brainy Baby discs! She pays attention to the program and even talks and dances to it. The segments are timed just right so that she never gets bored or her attention fades away. I am happy to play DVDs for her that engage her and teach her something. This is one of the better ones out there.

This DVD is mysterious..the opening melody will captivate your baby ...ours freezes as soon as the dvd is launched and his manages to sit for 20-25mins without budging to watch it.. the combination of soft music , colourful sequences , smiling faces and fast pace are enticing...Difficult to comprehend for an adult but has to be witness...You will like us - buy the rest of the series as quickly as possible. No other DVD comes close to it

I used Brainy Baby with my first child a girl and here I am 6 years later with our second a boy and he loves it just as much as she did! All my friends kids love it and even adults!! It's mesmerizing, entertaining and very educational!

Let me start off by saying that I have higher degrees in art, art history, music, and Romance languages -- so I am an admitted "art snob." Having said that, I would recommend that you try the Baby Einstein "Baby Van Gogh, World of Colors" and "Baby Mozart" videos instead of this Brainy Baby video.I find this Brainy Baby video to be slow, boring, insipid, condescending, and visually uninteresting; I cannot wait to put in something else. Wait, you say, isn't this about the baby who is watching it? Well, I first realized that it is truly boring (and not "just me") by watching my 6-month-old's reaction to it. (She is now 10 months old, and still does not like it.) She consistently snubbed her nose at this video; she did not watch it for more than a few seconds at a time and always turned away to find something more interesting to do. She has never had this reaction to the Einstein videos I mentioned.I tried reintroducing this video every few weeks since she was 6 months old, thinking maybe she would grow to understand it better, but after 4 months of this approach, she still is not interested. However, the Einstein videos have captivated her from the beginning, and still do.Here are the specifics that I think are the problem. The visuals are weak and not bold/colorful enough. My daughter is bored by watching the other babies play with toys. The female voice-over is distracting and annoying, rather than engaging and instructional as intended. The flow is not as coherent as the Einstein videos, which are broken into little themes that make sense in each video. There is no charm or sense of humor, like the Einstein videos.No, I do not have any connection whatsoever to the Baby Einstein folks. I'm just saying that the Brainy Baby videos seem less professional and are not as engaging. If you're going to spend the money and spend your time watching a video with your baby, buy one that you and the baby will enjoy together.

Our 17-month boy still enjoys this video, but we don't play it very often because it seems like it could old quickly. It covers a lot of supposedly "right brain" activities, such as color mixing, image recognition, rhyming words, etc., however it lacks quality. The puppet work is poorly done, and there is no phrasing of the music with changing of scenes (done so well on Baby Einstein videos). We like the "First Impressions" series much better -- perhaps because they don't put on that they're the greatest thing since sliced bread.It's a little longer than 1/2 hour, so if you need an extra few minutes for your household chores, this is the one to pick. One plus which I don't know if they intended: The "ending" music is the same about 5 minutes before the actual end of the tape...lets you finish what you're doing!

My grandson is now 13 months old and has been watching this in the car. I'm going to buy another for my other grandson, which is 7 months old.
