BABY GENIUS®: BABY ANIMALS FAVORITE SING-A-LONGS WINS COVETED iPARENTING AWARD
DEL MAR, Calif. – (May 5, 2008) – Baby Genius®: Baby Animals Favorite Sing-A-Longs, the latest DVD from the award-winning Baby Genius brand of music-based home entertainment and toys for infants and toddlers, was a winner in the Home Video/DVD category for the 2008 iParenting Excellent Products call, it was announced by Larry Balaban, President of Pacific Entertainment Corporation.
iParenting Media Awards Reviewers said: “I found the DVD to be well produced with lovely footage of the animals and families enjoying the San Diego Zoo. My son Liked Learning the ‘fun facts’ included about each of the animal groups. It was also helpful that the tunes were familiar in addition to being catchy and clever.”
“All the fun shots of the animals kept my kids’ attention really well. The songs were fun! We enjoyed being able to see baby animals with their families and start a few discussions that way. The animated characters added a neat dimension, especially when they were added to the zoo scenery. We really appreciated the bonus CD so that we can enjoy songs about animals in the car. I really liked how the DVD was broken into categories by animal and that each chapter started with some facts about the animal. A very fun way to learn!”
“The children in the day care loved this movie. They talked about the animals after the show and they laughed during the program. We have the exact same tiger costume as the children were wearing and they loved seeing this. The older children up to age 11 enjoyed this as much as the younger ones. There was information about the animals that one older child said ‘I didn’t know that!’” So they were learning as well as being entertained.”
Filmed exclusively at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park, the DVD features little kids, baby animals and lively sing-a-long tunes – a perfect mix for an exciting day at the zoo. Lots of giggles and fun are in store as children visit toddling tigers, fuzzy orangutans, furry gorillas and other little newborns.
“We are thrilled with this award and pleased with the recognition the reviewers gave to the San Diego Zoo -- a breathtaking backdrop for the DVD, which certainly contributes to our success,” said Balaban.
