2/13/2015 0 Comments Consumer review: Baby GeniusAvailable on Netflix are a wide selection of short movies under the title "baby genius" accompanied by a title that summarizes the type of music (favorite nursery rhymes, favorite sing-a-longs, etc). What you'll find is a series of the worst music videos, paired with mediocre versions of children's songs. The animation is clunky and harsh looking. The videos of children look awkward and dated. The life sized fur suit mascot animals don't look any better than their animated versions. But despite all that, my children still sit mesmerized when it's on. They love music, and the imagery is just flashy enough. What I can't forgive, is a seeming attempt at popularizing the shows own cartoon characters. I don't care how many views they've had, how much they've sold, these aren't the lovable household icons I can get behind. It's not Mickey Mouse. It's not Clifford or Big Bird. So I absolutely don't want a song that wastes my time learning the names of these animals. It's garbage music and a copout. It's not a nursery rhyme or a sing-a-long favorite if it's a new made up song based solely on this "Baby Genius" franchise. "It's Vinko, the dancing bear, the dancing hear is here. That's V. I. N-K-O." Nope. Just don't.
