 BoooringApr 14, 2009
By D. CHAVEZ
I purchased this video hoping to find joyful music from the world: polkas, tango, mariachis, african music.
But you can't find any of those.
The dvd is a collage of images with music composed by the baby einstein musicians, which doesn't represent the Music of the world.
It is very boring. My children, who are the Baby Einstein biggest fans hardly look at it.
Dissapointing.

 Mellow World Music done the Baby Einstein wayApr 10, 2009
By Brimful Curiosities
Get out your drums, shake your maracas and flip a rainstick. The Baby Einstein World Music DVD features songs and music from around the world in performed in the typical mellow, synthesized Baby Einstein fashion. Images from each of the seven continents and a variety of musical instruments accompany the music. Jane the jet setting monkey flies a plane over a spinning globe and takes babies and kids along for the journey. The monkey also stars in the silly puppet shows that break up the segments, each segment featuring a different continent. The DVD includes a few new play modes: "Grow with Me", "Select a Segment" and "Discovery Cards." The main feature runs 37 minutes.
We prefer viewing mode 2 over viewing mode 1. Intended for toddlers and kids, the "Grow With Me" viewing mode (#2) plays the images along with text and spoken language, instead of just visuals and music. Also, the kids really enjoy the DVD when I bring out some instruments for them to use while viewing. The instruments featured in the DVD are a wood flute, maracas, a rainstick, didgeridoo, djembe (drum), harp, and pipa (stringed instrument). My kids especially like watching the bonus Select a Segment: World Music Songs. Sung by children, the songs include "Shoo Fly", "Aloutte", "Arroz con Leche" and "Kogame, Kogame".
To be honest, I was expecting a little more lively variation of world music from Baby Einstein. The slower tempo segments (Asia, Antarctica) aren't as interesting for my kids as the upbeat ones. We are used to listening to Putumayo label music and would have liked to see Baby Einstein incorporate more energy in their musical selections this time around. I also wish the segments included more images of babies from around the world and fewer landscape/water shots. The DVD and CD are recommended if you want calming, soothing world music and have enjoyed previous Baby Einstein music products.

 Traditional music of Antarctica?Jul 08, 2011
By Allison
We own a number of other Baby Einstein videos, and while we do cycle through them all, I usually keep this one on the bottom of the stack. It has all the elements of a typical Baby Einstein video: puppets, toys, music, bright imagery. However, it really isn't very engaging. As an adult, I'm acutely aware of the fact that Julie Clark's "creative consulting" wasn't enough for Disney to create the magic of the original series. My 2 year old watches it, but doesn't seem engaged at all.
The entire show is centered around the theme of 'continents.' Each continent is introduced and then there is a medley of music (all or mostly synthesized) that is supposed to represent that continent. You'd think that if they went to all the trouble to organize the video in this way they'd have also made an attempt to show a large range of folk, classical, and indigenous styles. Unfortunately, the styles are rather limited. This really is not a video that will introduce your child to new musical styles. It's more like elevator music.
Next problem: Why did they include Antarctica? There are (obviously) no cultural traditions from that continent, so they chose to use it as a backdrop for new age style music. Had they simply eliminated this continent, they could have used the time to further explore Asia, which is given very incomplete coverage, even compared to the other continents. Better yet, why not scrap the whole "continents" theme and mix things up entirely? It's certainly not educational they way it is.
Even if the musical style/continent thing doesn't bother you, I suspect the 'Baby Einstein Kids' will. While I admire the attempt to include a group children who look like they come from around the world, the result is awkward. The kids clearly don't know each other and are uncomfortable on screen. The lip-sync song at the end is forced and hard to watch. I'd have rather they showed less of the kids "singing" on stage and more international video segments.
All in all, I think this is one of the weakest videos in the series, and I suggest you watch a library copy before purchasing it.

 Can't live without it!Feb 06, 2010
By Chantal A. Braddy
"Allison Braddy"
This is the one trick in our hat that NEVER fails. Our now almost a year daughter has been enjoying this dvd since about 6 months. She LOVES this! I don't let her watch alot of tv, but have tried a few other baby einstein dvds and barney, seseame street etc... Doesn't really care for any of it, but this one dvd. So she watches it a few times a week and never gets tired of it. The music is great...and generally very fun to watch. I do have to say that the typical baby einstein dvd is pretty boring. This is not. One of our best purchases!

The Perfect Teaching ToolNov 16, 2009
By George S. Vaszily
"gvaszily"
Our grankids love this musical video. They learn so much from watching it: world geography, traditional music from all continents, various customs and how music can be a common theme for all of us to live together.Our grandkids become totally involved in this great presentation.
