Since early on, the Baby Einstein Company's mission has been to expose young children to the "greatest forms of human expression"--language, poetry, art, and music. Since receiving widespread acclaim for such solid programs as Baby Bach and Baby Mozart, the company has made a natural progression into another expressive realm--the animal kingdom--with its Baby Dolittle series. Neighborhood Animals was the first foray into critter country followed by this exquisite sequel, World Animals, introducing youngsters, ages 1 to 4 years old, to the wonder, beauty, and hilarity of earth's creatures. In this 30-minute program, viewers journey to three natural animal habitats--jungle, ocean, and savannah--to watch tigers prowl, elephants romp, and giraffes glide with grace. They'll meet zebras, lemurs, starfish, and squirrels, toucans, pandas, and bears in footage both stunning and whimsical. Catering to the short attention span of its viewers, the video seamlessly flows from live action footage to colorful puppet segments (starring Jane the monkey) using engaging stage props (like a giant bubble blower) and kids' drawings. Animal paw prints morph into words and finally photos so that children learn to recognize the various animals while laughing out loud at their antics--monkeys swinging, dolphins diving, and sea turtles swimming. Requisite classical music accompanies the action, including symphonies by Dvorak and Mendelssohn, along with an assortment of kid-friendly songs. Expect repeat play of this lovely, captivating video from a production company that continues to outdo itself. --Lynn Gibson

 Harmful video series June 28, 2008
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
Your child would love watching this video, but she'd also love eating cotton candy and drinking grape soda. Many pediatric and psychological studies have shown that young children know FEWER words for every hour they spend watching videos like this one. Why? Because they aren't spending time with YOU, practicing their language and social skills. There's also evidence that young children who watch TV have a greater risk of developing ADHD. Last, toddlers who grow up in homes with the TV always on in the background literally seem to have more trouble hearing themselves think. This hurts their developing linguistic abilities and consequently their abilities to engage silent reasoning.
Please protect your child -- don't let her watch any TV during her early, crucial, developmental years. We only watch TV when our little girl is asleep.

I personally love the baby einstein series and more so the Neighborhood Animals because it's one of the few my 10 month old son loved since he was 4 months old and he prefers it, now me as an adult I'm not "annoyed" I actually enjoy watching it with my son because It gives us time together and it's one of the few baby series thats taylored to babies as opposed to "sponge bob" and "Dora" which I will not Allow my son to watch anytime soon if ever.
My son loves the series and therefor my opinion doesn't count if it keeps him happy for 30 mins(tops if not any less) and occupied with the awesome pictures and animals and puppets which every baby whose seen this so far has liked in my house.
So I will Gladly buy other einstein series and def World animals because (looking foward to it!)already he's reconizing animals so I say kudos and a def must have if not for your childs happiness but also for a Structured Learning System for your child.I'd rather him know more about animals and classical music then some sponge that doesn't exist.I'd rather him learn signs to communicate(myfirst signs)Rather then Spanish(dora) Since he is in a english speaking country and has a cousin who is hearing impaired.It's not like I plop him in front of the t.v for hour on end I sit with him and verbally talk with him throughout the show and he seems to enjoy this time with me,Critics may slam these series and the effects of t.v,others may make up their own opinion on how the "telly" affects them,Yet if my 10 month old son gets excited when the crdits start rolling and gets estatic when he hears the music on classical c.d I say right on and can try to say dog and sign food then I'm all for it to each his own,I can't hold him all day because a child needs to explore and at 10 months he's already walking and most times trys to get down and explore,He wants to be held when he want to be held which is most times at nap,bed time and during these baby einstein moments.Trust me we bond and play most of the day he's a happy baby and watching this hasn't made him less average,in fact he enjoys it.We are in an a day and age where technolgy is a part of our youngsters lives we're not in the 50's where television is evil.Better me bonding with him with this dvd then him in a day care enviroment or in a crib all day.It's an awesome dvd and I highly recommend!
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS RECOMMENDS NO TV FOR CHILDREN UNDER 2! January 16, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The name "Baby Einstein" wants to make parents think it's okay for babies to watch this program, but look at these facts:
- In a study among babies ages 8-16 months, every hour spent watching programs daily such as 'BABY EINSTEIN' or 'BRAINY BABY' translated into 6-8 fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age
- the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television at all to children under two years of age.
- for every hour of television a baby watches daily, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%
- brain wave activity is slower when watching television than when sleeping in babies.
"Signing Time" (Two Little Hands Productions) DVDs is an alternative option for OCCASIONAL video viewing because at least communicating in sign language is proven to:
- reduce frustration and tantrums
- accelerate language development
- promote parent-child bonding
Last thing for new moms - carrying newborn babies (in arms or next to body) an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying. So carrying baby in a carrier or sling can help calm fussy babies!

We have all of the Baby Einstein DVD's. this one is my granddaughter's favorite. she is now 4 and still likes to watch them. She has learned about all the animals, can discuss all the musical instruments,etc. When i need to give a present to a new mother, i always chose the Baby Einstein gift set.
