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.

great DVD! March 11, 2010
Chulita Goodman (Grand Forks, ND, USA)
Love the Classical Baby series! Originally caught them on HBO when my daughter was 6 months old. Loved watching it so much that we ended up ordering them. Ordered again this time - as a gift for a friend's daughter. Classical pieces of music and art! Very enjoyable for the WHOLE family!
Best product ever! March 6, 2010
Merianne Gaston (Austin, TX)
Any person or family with a small child or children should have this set of DVDs. My two grandchildren love it and look forward to rest or bed time because we watch and listen to these brilliant, informing, soothing and entertaining works of art. My grandson was a three year old little boy that could hardly sit still for a minute when the Classical Baby Music came on HBO. He was playing and stopped in his tracks when he heard the music and turned around and stood watching it as though he was immobile. My 1 1/2 year old granddaughter did the same. They loved it and would ask to see it over and over. I went online and googled it, it showed up on Amazon.com and I ordered the set. It is now one of my favorite new baby gifts!
My deepest appreciation for the creators of this wonderful product!
Love this DVD set!! February 18, 2010
College Student (Indianapolis, IN USA)
I got this DVD set as a baby shower gift before my son was born. It is a wonderful set of dvd's that I used from infant age until about 3 years old. My little boy loved to watch it and it is easy to watch as an adult too. When my brother was expecting in September of last year I could not wait to give them the dvd set for Christmas. It helps to calm a baby and relieve a tired parent. Recommend it 100% to everyone.
 two copies of art, one of music, no dance February 17, 2010
Philip Greenspun (Cambridge, MA USA)
I ordered this as a gift for a busy mom. Now she is a lot busier because she will get to repackage the original and mail it back to Amazon. I guess I cannot complain that this "3-disc" set doesn't contain three discs. It does. But two of them are duplicates and the "dance" disc is missing altogether. Amazon has no convenient way to order a single replacement component.
Unique and creative! February 16, 2010
Monica (Boone, NC)
This collection is wonderful! I saw it for the first time at a friend's house and I decided that whenever I had a baby this would be his/her first DVD collection. I'm a musician and I really appreciate the fact that it uses the sounds of the real instruments, as opposed to the synthesized sounds that are used in almost every other baby music DVD. Anybody interested in their babies experiencing music the way composers intended it should get these DVDs! The visuals are beautiful and creative, and the exposure to painting and dancing, classic and contemporary, is fantastic. It's alright that my 5 months son prefers some chapters to others, it helps me learn about his personality and temperament. Recommend it 100%.
