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.

This is going to make me look like a snob, but I don’t care.
I noticed this thing playing on TV about a month and a half ago, and decided to give it a whirl for the fun of it. What I saw was cheesy animation depicting bad performances of gutted versions of the repertoire’s master works, defiling and trivialising the names of Bach, Bartók, and others. “Fantasia” was bad enough, featuring horrendous, out-of-sequence, appallingly abbreviated performances of everything from Stravinsky to Tchaikovsky, but this really takes the cake.
If you twisted my arm, and if you paid me a huge wad of money, and if you threatened me with my life, I MIGHT use this as an introduction to the arts, and nothing more.
Avoid this. Also avoid, as a rule, any album starting with “Baby Needs” or “Baby’s First”; by buying them, you are only attempting to teach your children things you don’t know anything about yourself.
I’m sorry if that’s not helpful, but that’s just how I feel.

My children was bored to tears with this series of dvd’s. I would not recommend it.

While objectively speaking this is not a bad DVD, I am constantly disappointed with music-teaching DVDs for babies when I compare them to my kids’ (and therefore my) absolute favorite DVD, Trebellina.
Trebellina actually teaches babies to read written music. It introduces notes, as well as instruments and the sounds they make. It has all different types of music — some original and really foot stomping from an adult’s point of view. Classical Baby does not even really purport to teach a child much of anything substantive about music.
Why not educate while entertaining I always say!

I thought that the 3 movies were each going to have original footage. A lot of the same scenes repeat throughout each of the movies. It was a little disappointing for me because of the repetition of scenes in each of the 3 movies. It makes the movies seem too much alike. Looking back, I would have been fine just purchasing one of the 3 movies instead. But, that said, my toddler loves these. I think she thinks the 3 movies are the same, though, too.

Each DVD is very short and fails to capture my child’s attention. It just doesn’t engage him. I don’t get it. He enjoys the Baby Einstein series. It must be a live action versus animation thing. Regardless, I think there’s better out there if you want to expose your kids to classical music.
