My 9 month old loves this video. We had Mozart, Beethoven and Santa (DO NOT buy) already. This one is a lot different because there is actually moving footage of the animals with great music. He is too young to get into the animal naming parts, so he gets bored then, but whenever the puppets or the music come on he is mesmerized. The DVD says its for older children, so maybe naming the animals won't be as boring for him in a few months. I like watching it with him. I'd give the DVD 5 stars, but Disney is completely shameless in placing ads at the beginning and end of the DVD during the first play. I vow not to buy another with this sort of advertising no matter how good they say it is.

My son owns all the Einstein DVD's and this is one of the top 5. I like the format, which looks like a board book, lift and flap style. It also introduces different animals besides the usual farm animals or "everyday" animals like cats and dogs. I would give this 5 stars but Disney has tied in some shameless plugs at the end of the DVD for their Animal Kingdom in WDW. Keep the ads to the bonus features or previews.

I have all of them. I buy Baby Enstein for most new families, but this (Noah) and Newton are just over Disneyed! Noah even has promotions, ads and previews. Might as well sign them up for a Disney credit card. The show isnt that bad, but I cannot accept what they have done to a once beautiful child's learning tool.

I used to happily buy every one of the Baby Einstein videos for my daughter and always enjoyed watching them with her. But this one is the newest one we own and we refuse to buy any others. There is some really long advertising for other Disney stuff at both the beginning and the end of the DVD which we can't seem to skip through. I was really disappointed given I paid good money and don't think I should have to sit through commercials, espeically as it is a video for babies and toddlers. I think The Disney Corporation only thought about how else to make some money off of us and forgot to consider our family values.

I own thirteen (early) Baby Einsteins. All very good, until now. Baby Noah is the first to start directly marketing to the children. I don't want my 1-year old to be blitzed by Disney marketing executives, period. They've ruined a good thing.

Maybe someone else will start producing videos for kids without the marketing junk.

I own most of the Baby Einstein for my 19 month old son. First of all, I never like that after you press play, you still have to sit through the caterpillar walking, the DVD letters and so on after just seeing it when the DVD loads. Now, to top it off, they made Baby Noah, with a preview for a new show, and a ad at the end also. What makes them think that kids want to sit through this? Also, this video has more time showing you drawn pictures of a lift the flap book, than anything else. Not a favorite.

My 10 month old absolutely loves the puppets in this one. However, I was less thrilled due to the advertisements that are included in the "play" section of the DVD. None of the other Baby Einstein videos have this advertising and I wish this one didn't either. However, I think this one is well put together and keeps my infant's attention for a long while. She just crawls up to the TV, has a seat and is there for the duration of the movie. She coos, laughs, and squeels at the puppets and copies their noises. I am very glad I bought this one.

My 15 month old daughter loves the B.E. animal DVDs, so I got her Baby Noah. It is cute and all...I just wish that the Baby Einstein Orchestra would learn a couple new songs. The songs are just remixes of the music used on the other DVDs.

My toddler loves all the Baby Einstein videos but usually it takes him a few views to get excited about a new one. This one he loved from the first minute - maybe because some of the animals are familiar from prior videos? He only says a few words so far but the morning after I bought this he tugged at my pants and said "Baby Noah!" until I relented and let him watch it again. I am also very happy with the special features on this one - a storybook, discovery cards and "guess the animal", all in three languages.

This is SUCH a great Baby Einstein. I was looking at the other reviews trying to figure out why it only had an over all 4 stars. I guess a few people are unhappy with the previews at the beginning. Maybe they don't know how to work their DVD players or VCR's, but you can skip past them. Maybe they just sit their kids down in front of the TV and don't bother to skip the preview. I don't know, but this is a FABULOUS DVD for kids. The music is by far the best of any Baby Einstein, and the animal footage is symply entrancing. I lost my 1st copy, and paid for another one, because I love it so much. Don't miss out. It's totally worth the extra 7 seconds it takes to skip the preview.
