The "meat" of this video is as enjoyable as the previous two musical-themed Baby Einstein videos (Baby Bach, and Baby Mozart), but I am disappointed that Disney, who is now the parent company of Baby Einstein, chose to change the format we moms have come to depend on.When you have a crying baby, it's always great to just pop in a Baby Einstein video, because "the show" usually starts up right after the caterpillar creeps across the screen.Then it's usually 28 or so minutes of non-stop fun, followed by the "Hi, I'm Julie Clark..." advertising portion, and then on to the credits, which show each toy that was used in the video.This was always great because a baby would still be watching right up until the very end even though "the show" was over.Not so with the Baby Beethoven VHS!This video features a full five minutes of the newly redone advertising portion AT THE START OF THE VIDEO!This does not capture a baby's attention right away like all the other Baby Einstein videos.Also, since the ads are at the start of the video, the tape ends rather abruptly, and although the manufacturers of toys used are names, each toy is not shown again.This is a bummer if you want to buy any of the toys and you don't know what they're called.Aside from these couple of complaints, the video itself is good, but I would really recommend to Disney, for future Baby Einstein videos, that they please put the ad section at the end instead of up front.Product Description
