Buy This Video, forget the schizo's rant, nothing would please them.
I teach kindergarten. My class not only enjoyed it. They wanted to see it again and again and again. I can't tell you how wonderful a video it is. The music accompanyment enthralls and
captivates the children. "I like this!" "This is my favorite!"
they would say. Building block time and the children wanted a
ball so they could create Max the cat. Again, forget the negatives....do your child a favor...you won't be sorry.

A great disapointment !
We were expecting at least a decent video according to the raving reviews on the site. Unfortunately, the video is very short and the parts that repeat most have no educational value whatsoever. It is a waste of money and our son does not like the video at all, neither do we!!! Getting some Amazing Animals videos are a better investment and children are bound to love Henry the lizard. The videos are better priced and packed with information. Newton is a bottle is a well advertised waste of money.

OUR FAVORITE!
This is the best video we ever got for our toddler! He loves it! From about 15 months old he started watching it and laughs out loud at the kitty. He is mesmerized by the gears and levers and mazes and you can really see his little noggin working, watching the beginning working of physics in everyday life. Sure, this video won't guaruntee your child will be a scientist but I don't think anything will. What it will do is guaruntee a fun time, a couple giggles, and a few minutes of baby being completely entranced so mommy (or daddy) can take a well deserved break! I love this video!

A Pleasant Surprise
I balked at the ambitious title and the "physics for kids" tag line when my wife brought it home from the library. Boy was I in for a huge surprise when we watched it with my 3 year old son. It is brilliant. It is certainly fun and the music is entertaining, but what blew my mind was that my son got it. He actually started asking questions and I had to go download the parent's guide off the web. He asks for this video more than any other and I am ready for the DVD. We even have tried our own experiments like dropping different size toys onto his bed to see if they fall like the balls in the movie. The creators have really done something amazing by taking science and making it not only entertaining, but accessible to a toddler. I would never have believed it if I had not seen it for myself. Don't miss out on this, it is a real jewel.

Scary cat turns into a ball
My 12 month old twins are frightened of this video. I was excited to buy this video for my kids thinking it would combine their interest in domestic pets with some classical music and some basic physics concepts thrown in. What I got was a big disappointment. From the moment I put this tape in they have disliked the computer generated cat (who has a sort of evil grin) and are particularly disturbed by the parts where it turns into a ball. Not a video that I would recommend to most parents with kids under 3.
