Product Description
An educational program for children featuring the musical works of great composers from Bach to Copland, great works of art, and dances from George Ba
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. (Ages 6 months to 4 years) --Tami Horiuchi

A must have for all babies - it's been my lifesaver! August 27, 2010
Jema Edwards
I accidentally found this show on HBO Family and loved it so much that I recorded all of them on my DVR. I started showing it to my son at around 3 months old, and it has been a life saver! For starters, he would watch it while sitting in his jumpy, and it held his attention for the entire show - a full 30mins! As he's grown older - now 9.5months old, I turn on Classical Baby for him to watch while he's finishing his bottle or eating his meals. This is the only way I can get him to eat nowadays; otherwise he's too busy or distracted. It's really the only thing that keeps his attention and completely relaxes him. I am buying the DVDs for his little buddy down the street.

I bought this after all the raves in the review, and boy am I glad of this purchase! My 15 month old son loves loves loves Music Show. I haven't shown him the Dance nor Art since I thought he might be too young for it still. My toddler is a very very active one and doesn't stay still for a minute, but when I turn this on, he'll watch the whole thing. It is quite amazing!! He'll clap with all the animal audience and will want a hug when he sees the "Bear Hug" segment. He will conduct with the conductor during "Night Music". It is such a joy to watch him watch this DVD.
Also, my almost 5 year old twin nieces came over and enjoyed watching this with my son.
I think each segment has the right amount of music so the babies/toddlers do not get bored with it. The animation is simple, yet very cute and captures my son's attention.
