My son is 9 months and he is captivated every time I play this, or any of the 3 Baby Genuis DVDs we have. I have watched it with him and I think the reason it is so engaging is that the scene changes about every 5 seconds, which is about how long a baby's attention span is. It also has characters popping up in front of the screen, and it intrigues him enough to wait to see if someone or something (a character or a letter, etc.) pops up again.

It's great when I fix dinner or get ready in the morning! I even catch my 6 year old and her friends getting sucked into it as they play. I have bought a couple other videos for him by other producers and none of them hold his attention for more than 3 minutes. This line of DVD's definitely works for us!

Music calms the soul. I personally like the no talking aspect of the DVD and only music. I can play this in my classroom with the volume turned down low and just let it play. I leave this DVD playing during our ocean unit. While the students are enjoying centers and activities, this DVD is playing. It is engaging because it is soothing the mind; while giving the students time to enjoy the centers without having to stop and look for a plot in a movie. So really this DVD should read enjoyable at all ages. This is only my opinion.

I would not have written except for the mom who gave it 1 star. That is so unfair. My very busy and hard to get his attention 16 month old boy really loves this video. He stares at the tv and loves the song at the end. It is really worth it to get this one. I promise!

My 2-year-old daughter is not interested in this at all. There are very few shots of children. It is mostly animals swimming around and does nothing to hold her interest.

This DVD came as part of a 6 DVD set. So far, this one is the worst. It bored me and my 11-month old son. In short, there is classical music that plays while ocean creatures swim around. I am happy that I did not pay for this one separately. Hopefully, he will appreciate it more when he is older; but I doubt it.

My daughter is 5 mos and is very taken by this tranquil DVD. If you are looking for something soothing for night, this is it!!

whether you need to put the baby down for awhile to do some chores or need help calming before bed or nap time...this dvd is great! the music is great for adults who are doing stuff around the house while the little one is being entertained too! its great that it not just cartoon stupidness and actually is fun, engaging, and semi educational with numbers, letters, animals, and music.

"This dvd is not like the others I've purchased (Children's Songs, Nursery Rhymes, Baby Animals). It played classical music for the first 5 - 10 minutes and just showed fish swimming. Did not keep the attention of my 17-month old. What she enjoys most about the Baby Genius videos is the singing and the real children acting/dancing. She'll watch some of them two times through but not this one."

My son has loved this since the first time he seen it on cable on demand. I am so glad I bought it! The video is shots of actual fish and aquatic animals set to classical music. it does have some cartoon characters but they are not the focus. this is a very soothing dvd and my son, who is now 18 months, still is captivated by it!

it would be better if cartoon fish were mixed with the real fish for my 3 yr old girls. they dont like the classical cd with it. should be more fun modern music
