Editorial Reviews:

It's no secret that babies love colorful images and are soothed by beautiful music. Now Celebration of Color, part of the trilogy of videos from the illustrious Babyscapes, offers up this intriguing and stimulating combination. Like the other Babyscapes videos, this is not only wonderful for baby, but lovely for parents and caregivers. Repeated viewings won't be a problem, since the music is not only beautiful but well presented. Celebration of Color features seven segments and seven classical tunes that combine color, shapes, music, and rudimentary reading (the colors are spelled out slowly, through the CGI images). Babyscapes videos also don't feature any extraneous narration and let the music and images convey the message. Celebration of Color offers the following segments: a colorful display of fireworks set to Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3; the color blue to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"; red to Beethoven's "Turkish March"; yellow to a Brahms "Hungarian Dance"; green to Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik; purple to Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2; and orange to Boccherini's "Minuetto."

Packaging suggests that children up to 5 may still be interested in this enchanting video, but it's doubtful that the interest of children as old as 5--or, in some cases, even 3 and 4 (who may be in preschool and used to more active stimulation)--will be sustained throughout. (Ages 8 months to 4 years) --N.F. Mendoza

Summary: Try before you buy
Comment: The wide range of reviews of this video made me decide to check it out from my local library and try it before I buy it. I was happy to find that both my baby and I love it. My baby actually watches it - which surprized me, since he usually only watches videos that have lots of babies and children in them (e.g., the "Signing Time" videos are a favorite). He also dances to the music. As for me, I'm thrilled with the musical selections. Most of the other baby videos I've watched seem to recycle the same classical pieces, but this one has refreshingly different music - and very good choices at that. Some reviewers have complained about the sound quality, but I found nothing wrong with the quality of the video I watched.

A few reviewers complained about the educational quality of the video, but I don't think it's important whether or not my baby learns his colors from this, or any other video. I think it's more important to focus on playing with him and giving him lots of different experiences. Videos like this are one way of exposing him to new things, and of feeding his natural love for music, which is why I get them.

Summary: children's video enthusiast
Comment: This is a great video! We have all the Baby Einstein's, Baby's First Impressions, Baby Bumblebees. My 4 yr. old still loves this one and will run in the room and dance when I play it for my 11 month old. The music is very nice. The Baby Bumblebee vocublary videos are great for learning new words with real life objects, not the cartoon ones. Both girls also love the Big Comfy Couch videos since they were five months old. I like those too because they teach a lesson in a fun way. Check out the scholastic video collection where popular books are made into cartoons. They are cute and reinforce the books.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: We bought this for our daughter who absolutely loves the Baby Mozart video. Unfortunately this video does not interest her in the least.

Summary: Classical Baby Video Enthusiast
Comment: This is a great video for children who love other classical videos like Baby Mozart. HOWEVER, they need to be a little older (5 months + )to really enjoy it. My son loves it at five months when he wasn't able to fully concentrate at three.

Summary: Beware - not like the other ABC and 123 videos
Comment: I must admit that this video is well done and uses a great deal of imagination to portray colors. The problem for me is that there are no children (like in the other videos) repeating or even mentioning the colors. THis vidoe is for parents who can sit next to their child and tell him or her constantly what is going on; otherwise, the child does not learn the colors.
