Baby Einstein: Language Nursery

Language Nursery is the first video in the Baby Einstein series. It was produced in 1996 and released on January 31, 1997. The video exposes babies and toddlers to seven languages: English, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. The video's cover originally featured a star.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It started the Baby Einstein franchise on a sour note.
 * 2) Like the rest of the Baby Einstein videos, there is no plot whatsoever. The scenes don't make any sense and are pure filler because of this, and they all just consist of toys.
 * 3) Lack of humor, which would be present in later Baby Einstein videos (nevertheless, the humor in those videos is extremely unfunny and too safe).
 * 4) False Advertising: The video teaches little to nothing, yet when it was re-released by Disney it was considered "educational" along with the rest of the Baby Einstein videos.
 * 5) Cringeworthy, sappy, boring, and/or emotional music that will put you to sleep.
 * 6) This video and the rest of the Baby Einstein videos are so inoffensive that they're flat-out boring.
 * 7) Cheap CGI transitions that look like they belong in a Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Windows 95 PC, or Sega Saturn game.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The narration is decent.
 * 2) The video can be soothing to babies, and it can also stimulate their minds.
