5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating for all children! December 23, 2002

By Heather Walton

Format:DVD

This is the second Baby Einstein video I bought, the first being Neighborhood Animals. It is so colorful and eye catchy to young children. My child is 28-month's old with Autism. She normally does not like to watch videos for more then 10 minutes, but this one captivates her for the entire 30 minutes. Do not let the 101 minutes on the label fool you, that is 30 minutes of video and 61 minutes of music you can listen to like a CD. The animals are: Tigers, Elephants, Tropical Parrots, Giraffes, Dolphins, among many others all beautifully filmed in action. It is much like a really good PBS Nature show, but with each animal on the screen for no more then 5 minutes. In-between the animals segments there are puppets playing and some toys to watch- all animals of course. We love this video and it looks incredible on DVD! A must have as well as Neighborhood Animals. I just bought some more Baby Einstein DVD's and will review those as well, but the animal ones are by far the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars our seven month old loves it May 30, 2003

By Amy M. Sheflin

Format:DVD

I think it's hard to review Baby Einstein videos, because as an adult there are so many things that seem annoying or bothersome that are not so for my child. Yes, I find the kids dressed up in animal costumes annoying, but my son loves them. The puppetry (in this one especially) doesn't make any sense to me either, but my son loves it.

We own 8 various Baby Einstein videos, some DVD and some VHS and my son likes this one as well as all the others. We also own the Neighborhood Animals video and I don't really understand why some reviewers prefer it over this one. They are slightly different, but my son doesn't prefer one of them over the other (at this age anyway). The only thing I've noticed is that he likes to have a variety rather than watch the same one every day (that's how our collection got so big). As a parent, I actually enjoy watching World Animals with him more than Neighborhood Animals, because I find the videos of the animals more interesting. While I would prefer to watch a nature special on PBS, my son enjoys the way Baby Einstein breaks up the footage with animation and puppetry (however corny it seems to me), it helps his short attention span out.

I do recommend the DVD over the VHS if you are choosing between the two. The DVDs are a much better value in my opinion. We've already begun to wear out our VHS tapes (the sound is garbled in spots now) and I love the interactive flash cards and other extras that come with the DVDs.

All in all, my son watches this video over and over again even back to back sometimes and loves every minute. To me that says it all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slight disappointment to the Einstein collection. July 28, 2001

By A Customer

Format:DVD

We have just about every video in the series for our 2 year old and most are good. However, comparing this baby dolittle world animals to neighborhood animals, this one is inferior. The footage of the nine or so wild animals (elephant, giraffe, tropical birds, turtles, dolphin, fish, lion, monkey, tiger) is great, as is the music (much like the other videos). However, the puppeteering is SO tiring after a while, and just not very good in this one. Way too much time is wasted in between animal sequences, with dull puppet displays and babies horribly dressed in animal costumes. The toys are neat but otherwise, show us more animals and lighten up on the other stuff please! If you are trying to choose between baby dolittle's, buy neighborhood animals, there are probably better wild animal videos out there.
