Classical music has been scientifically proven to encourage cognitive development in young children. Baby Beethoven, a 29-minute Baby Einstein production, presents excerpts from five of the composer's most famous symphonies, as well as incidental music, in a child-friendly, sensory-rich format. Familiar Beethoven themes like the Ode to Joy from his Ninth Symphony are playfully rendered on electric piano and accompanied by colorful images of toys in action, puppetry, and babies at play. The musical excerpts are relatively short and the imagery is quick-paced and varied enough to grab the limited attention span of viewers age 1 to 36 months. Unlike previous Baby Einstein presentations, each symphonic excerpt (though not the incidental music) is labeled--a feature that encourages further exploration of favorite pieces. Baby Beethoven is an aural and visual feast that promotes creativity, mental awareness, and an appreciation for classical music in infants, toddlers, and their parents. --Tami Horiuchi

Toddler loved it November 8, 2008
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.
 Astounding!!!!!!!! September 8, 2008
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!!!
Really inspiring...an excellent series of teaching tools! August 25, 2008
My child was a Baby Einstein fan. We started by introducing him to the Baby Beethoven DVD when he was only a few months old. In no time, he began to respond to the sights and sounds. Before long we had the whole Baby Einstein series. Children seem to grasp and understand (in their own unique way) by watching and interacting. Even now at almost seven years old, my son likes classical music and especially the featured tracks from the DVD. I think any program that seems to educate your children early on is great. This series worked well for us. Makes a great gift for parents to be. I highly recommend it.

The Disk was used but was in good condition. The baby I purchased the DVD for is loving it.
GREAT DVD FOR THE LITTLE ONES! July 26, 2008
I didn't have much faith that these videos would actually capture the interest my four month old. I was SO wrong. It really grabs his attention and, I hate to say it, allows me at least 27 minutes to get myself ready for the day (or type this review!).
My only problem with the video is the advertising at the beginning (about 4 to 5 minutes worth). Advertisements should be left until the very end, NOT the beginning when you just want to pop it in and have your child sit to watch it. Not only are the advertisments LOOOONNNG, you CAN'T FAST FORWARD OR SKIP THEM!!! Disney was very selfish when they shoved their ads on us this way. The same holds true for every other Baby Einstein video I have. ANNOYING!
