Baby Einstein

Baby Einstein is the company that created those home videos we would all watch as babies. In them, a diverse cast of puppets and toys would appear on the screen to classical music. Sometimes, the videos are about animals. Other times, they're about vocabulary. Despite this, seals make frequent appearances, so watch out!

Language Nursery

This was the first video the company released, which was in 1997. In it, the viewers listens to greetings, counting sequences, and songs in seven languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Hebrew, and Japanese.

Baby Shakespeare

Basically it showed 12 different things and poems associated with them, followed by music videos/montages/other stuff. They were train, flower, apple, cat, grass, frog, leaf, snow, tree, cow, butterfly, and moon.

Baby MacDonald

This one was about farming. As a child, you probably thought farms were just... places with animals and barns and silos and tractors, not places where farmers make food. After the opening sequence was a montage of things to expect on a farm: a barn, windmills, hay, tractors, and fields. Then there was the part with animals. Of course, in the background, children sang the classic children's song, Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Included were cows, sheep (outside of the big city), pigs, horses, chickens, and roosters. And we thought chickens and roosters were two different animals, but obviously roosters are, in fact, male chickens, whereas the "chicken" part was represented by hens, the females. The next part discussed plowing the fields, planting crops, watering the crops, and the crops eventually growing. This is followed by a showcase of food: corn, apples, wheat, carrots, milk, and eggs. And finally, there was the section on celebrating the harvest.

Baby Noah

User:SGuySMW greatly remembers this one. 20 different animals from five biomes were shown: the savanna was represented by hippopotamuses, zebras, lions, and elephants; the jungle by gorillas, tigers, flamingos, and pandas; the ocean by whales, dolphins, fish, and seahorses; the outback by wombats, lizards, koalas, and kangaroos; and finally, the polar regions by reindeer, polar bears, penguins, and worst of all... those damn seals. And, unsurprisingly, they used this recording:

Giraffes, toucans, sea turtles, dingos, and Arctic foxes make an appearance in the Discovery Cards.

On The Go

Transport! Vehicles! Everywhere! RAHHHHH!

On a serious note, this, indeed, covered transport. More specifically, it featured transport by stroller, wagon, bicycle, tricycle, bus (they even added The Wheels on the Bus), TRUCK!!, motorcycle, those damn cars, TRAIN!!, rowboat, canoe, raft, sailboard, sailboat, ocean liner, steamboat, tugboat, speedboat, glider, parasail, hang glider, hot air balloon, airplane, and helicopter. Dump trucks, fire engines, snowmobiles, and biplanes make an appearance in the Discovery Cards. So many vehicles...

Meet The Orchestra

There wasn't a real life orchestra, but rather, as is the case with the other more informative DVDs, showcases of the instruments. First up, unusually, were the brass instruments. As was expected, the trombone, tuba, French horn, and trumpet were showcased. However, there was an outlier, as the bugle, a small, usually valveless instrument used for signalling, was featured too. Oh, and this is the first time User:SGuySMW remembers seeing a sousaphone, real or on screen, despite it only making a cameo in two stock footage clips. He was clueless as to what that instrument really was, as even at around 7 years old, he can still distinguish a sousaphone from a regular tuba. Bugles can't be a regular instrument in an orchestral piece, unless it revolves around war or hunting. Next were the woodwinds. While the flute, clarinet, and bassoon were included, the oboe was not. The saxophone, unusual for an orchestra, was included, as was the recorder, though recorders were actually common in Baroque music and not just your typical classroom instrument. Then, at last, we reached the string instruments, and finally, we have a complete lineup: violin, viola, cello, double bass, and harp. No guitars... for now. After that was the percussion section: drums, cymbals, tambourine, timpani, and xylophone. Remember the guitars? Yeah, they have their own section, with the piano too. And then the whole 22-piece "orchestra" came together for a MID performance. There were not enough violinists, trumpeters, flautists, etc. for it to be a real orchestra. Well, that was the first orchestra. The other orchestra had puppets instead of 2D animated animals, and might actually qualify as a legitimate orchestra.

Neptune's Oceans

A spiritual successor of Baby Neptune, it features 11 different marine animals: crabs, seagulls, sea turtles, fish, dolphins, octopuses, sharks, whales, polar bears, penguins, and, worst of all... damn sea lions. Well, that's not the entire pinniped family, but alas, there were seals. Beware.
