Editorial ReviewsReal babies--a bit surreal at times--"sing" classic toddler tunes such as "Old MacDonald," "London Bridge," and "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" in this visually intriguing kiddie flick from cocreators Jeff Yonis and Fred Gallo. Through the magic of computerized slicing and dicing, a culturally diverse batch of bouncing babes seem to mouth each lyric, with a full set of teeth, no less. They wear many adorable costumes, appear on creatively designed sets, and play with colorful toys, and when their faces aren't being digitally manipulated, they even look cute. But the odd and often disturbing special effects will give some viewers the willies. Unlike the talking critters in Babe or Stuart Little, these "singing" babies look moon-eyed and emotionless--not a great combination for a sing-along video. Yonis and Gallo claim all sorts of developmental benefits await the young viewer who watches this 30-minute babypalooza. If that's true, then Barney must be the love child of Lamaze and Pavarotti. At least the music variety and execution are pleasant--well, except for that one kid who's painfully tone deaf. Stick with the cassette tape. --Liane Thomas

Babies and young children love it! That's why Singing Babies is now one of the best selling baby videos. It is the most fun and entertaining way to teach your child the classic nursery rhymes!

***I bought this DVD to expose my baby, 6 mo., to the nursery rhymes. To that end, it did not disappoint. All the great songs that I remember as a child are on here. The babies appear to be singing, which seems to mesmerize my Connor, who stares at the screen as if to say, "How do they do that?" Other times, he smiles, jiggles, and laughs. He makes sounds (more grunting than singing) but such vocalization is wonderful to witness. Perhaps, the tune will come to him later. My only criticism would be that I wish the babies in the video were more mobile, but this hasn't dampened the spirits of Connor with his favorite new DVD, "Singing Babies Nursery Rhyme Time."
*** This DVD is definitely in our top 5. It consistently enthralls our two year old twin girls and keeps them watching even when the disc automatically repeats the program. The only cries I hear are when I finally turn off the DVD. They sing along and know all the nursery rhymes by heart! Most of the other DVD s that I buy will only hold their attention for several viewings. This DVD keeps them watching. Highly recommended! |
