The fine arts have a universal appeal that offers an opportunity for forging intergenerational connections. Classical Baby is a three DVD set in which each DVD focuses on a single classic art form: dance, visual art and music. Each animated program is brimming with catchy melodies, brilliant colors, and fun animated animal characters that appeal to babies and toddlers as well as famous musical pieces, revered artwork and varied dance styles that encourage adults to share their love of the arts with a special child. "The Music Show" presents musical masterpieces from artists as varied as Bach, Mozart, Villa Lobos and Bartok and runs the gamut from large orchestral pieces to opera and intimate chamber music. Animated polar bears, toddling babies and violin-playing crickets ensure that little ones are fully engaged and entertained. "The Art Show" focuses in close on masterpieces from famous artists like Monet, Hopper and Degas and includes a snowy romp through a sculpture garden showcasing works from the 2500's BC to the 20th century AD. Accompanying the images are famous musical themes, ranging from classical to jazz and ragtime, and animation that allows modern artwork to spin and encourages cute little frogs to hop right into a Monet canvas. "The Dance Show" gives free reign to the imagination with animated animal characters performing dances inspired by great choreographers like Balanchine, Robbins, and Pilobolus in styles reminiscent of classical ballet, the Broadway musical and the silver screen. Adults may laugh aloud when animated sheep dance "Sheep to Sheep" ala Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, but the beauty is that a classic moment has been shared and a connection forged between the generations. (Ages 6 months to 4 years) --Tami Horiuchi

Great Animation -- Fun, and not overtly anti-educational December 14, 2008
Bryce Nesbitt
If you're expecting this to teach your kids to wear fancy evening clothes and patronize the symphony -- you might be asking too much. What you do have is quality animation, cleverly done, and set to well chosen excerpts of the most recognizable classical music. It holds up to adult viewing, and is fascinating to the kids. Can't get better than that. We liked the "Music" show best.
Wonderful music and visuals November 22, 2008

This is a product that will be my gift to every mother in the future. Wonderful music, site and sounds, educational, soothing before nap or bed. Wish every child could sleep with these wonderful sounds in their heads. Just perfect. JLG
Excellent Product November 12, 2008
Jackson Stephens (Salt Lake City, UT, USA)
These are very creative and unique baby-oriented videos. They're pretty good, as far as these things go, at holding the attention of both the younger infants and the older toddlers. The music is great and will even get many adults hooked on some of the old classics. We've owned other baby videos, but this is one of the best by far.
Great Introduction to the Arts!!!!! October 21, 2008
Mark Stampehl (Houston, TX)
Each and every one of these DVD's are adorable! My little one (one year) really enjoys the ART show best, but just gets so excited when the intro comes on for any of the videos. The images are so pretty...whether it is a painting, abstract shapes to music or dancing animals. We sit together and I explain the videos to her, they are short enough (20-30 min) so that you don't have the child in front of the tv for a long time. The format is similar for all videos but there is variation in the audience (animals shown with babies), etc. If your little one likes it...they will notice the differences. She prefers these MUCH MORE than Baby Einstein! I appreciate the choices made for these videos across the board. There is even an option for pop up notes on each video which provide you with additional artist/composer information. Very cool! A +++++++
VERY BEST SERIES FOR BABY!!! October 13, 2008
A. Langston (Kentucky)
My daughter, Addison, has been watching the Classical Baby since she was 5 months old. I ran across it one day on HBO and immediately ordered the series for her. She loves all of the DVDs. We put in the Art Show at bed time. It is very relaxing for both of us. She loves all of the music and hums along with the tunes. She is now 13 months old and we still have not found any other series that she loves more. I highly suggest it to all. It is also wonderful to listen to the classical music rather than some hokey tune that you will be singing throughout the day.
