Baby Einstein DVDs - Review of Baby Bach

Guide Review - Baby Bach | Baby Einstein DVDs - Review of Baby Bach

For those who have already experienced the magic of Baby Mozart, a few comparisions can be drawn to provide a clearer picture. As with Baby Mozart, the theme of Baby Bach revolves around the music. In order to entertain and engage the baby, a lot of toys, puppets and action packed props are employed.

However, Baby Bach has much less of the movement and activity that was found in Baby Mozart. Fewer puppets are employed, and lesser colors and designs too. There are more appearances by actual kids and lots of sounds. Along with the music of Bach, there are a lot of silly sounds and noises during the scenes where lots of toys are shown along with the children's antics.

The format of Baby Bach is like a Video Board Book, where there are different video scenes which change like when the pages of a book are turned. The different scenes include objects which little children can identify with like a sun, stuffed animals, toy cars, spinning tops etc. Along the course of the DVD, pictures of musical instruments like piano, flute, a music box, etc are displayed accompanied by the strains of Bach. Also, the motion of some toys is in accordance with the music.

Some scenes are a little startling for young children like the dark scenes, and sudden appearances by the toy puppets. The putting together of this video could have been better. It is slightly amateurish in its production, especially since there seems to be too abrupt a transition between the still and the moving scenes.
