  This has become a favorite March 15, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My son has a few Baby Einstein DVD's, but this has become his favorite. He's very much into toy cars and trains, so this dvd captures his attention and keeps it the entire time. He also likes to make the sounds of the vehicles as well which I get a big kick out of. Kudos again to Baby Einstein.

Daughter just loves this video, you can't go wrong with baby einstein, highly recommended! She loves all the cars, buses, boats, and planes!
  Good DVD for toddlers February 10, 2006 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I saw there were a lot of complaints on this dvd, but I think maybe thats because its more created for older babies and toddlers, especially boys. My son is really into cars and vehicles so he loves it.
  It's Just Not the Same...very Two Dimensional, Very Busy... January 29, 2006 3 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have many of the BE videos. My twin 20 month-olds just love them. But I noticed this time that there were far more computer generated visuals and no classical scores, just some simple and repetitive music. I now realize that what makes the other BEs so good is the classical music and the puppetry, along with SIMPLE images. This one was almost overwhelming to the children, they lost focus and avoided it after the first 10 minutes. Lots of vibrant color and ***2-Dimensional motion.** Whereas I have also enjoyed the visuals of earlier BE videos, this one is just not the same in entertaiment OR educational value, in my opinion. (Is it because Disney has purchased BE and is now producing the videos?)
Thank goodness I had rented this first before buying it.
  Nice, but bad audio January 24, 2006 4 out of 7 found this review helpful
One of my major peeves about "Baby Galieo: Things in the Sky" was the lack of the most common sky site, the airplane. "Baby Einstein: On the Go" makes up for that.
The puppets and animation were typical BE. The use of the song, "Wheels of the Bus", was very good, espically the hand motions the kids used to sing along. My 2.5 year son loves it. I like the way they tie different vehicles into Land, Sea, and Air. Also, I finally saw a couple of toys in a BE video that my toddler actually owned, which he loved to see on the screen.
At first I didn't like the multitude of "things". How often would this kid see a sailboard in real life? Then it hit me: that's the point. Not living near a coast, I could not point out the differences very often. Its a struggle, but after seeing this video a few times he realizes not everything in the air is an "airplane", there are some "helicopters". I'm sure if we saw more boats he'd start to point out the difference between "sailboat" and "canoe".
The main problem I have is the audio quality (VHS version). When the volume level is just right for the music, the speach comes in too loud and scratchy. Turn down the volume to a proper speach level, and the music barely registers. This is VERY POOR WORKMANSHIP for a professional editing company and is the only reason I gave this video such a low rating. Correct that fault, and I would have given this video a 4-5.
