Baby Einstein: Baby Noah

**Baby Noah** is the 16th Baby Einstein video. The topic is a series of wild animals you can find in different habiats.

## Video Summary

As little ones become better acquainted with the world, they grow curious about animals of all kinds, beyond just the family pet. And as their communication skills continue to develop, they enjoy imitating animal sounds as well. Baby Noah™ Animal Expedition takes your little explorer across the globe to meet animals -- two-by-two -- from the savannah, the rainforest and tropics, the Outback, the ocean and the Polar Regions. With its unique video "lift-the-flap" format, adroable puppet shows and delightful music, this exciting program invites parents and babies on a fun-filled safari that encourages vocal participation and interactive play. Get ready to meet lions, tigers, dolphins, koalas, penguins and more. It's a wide, wonderful world out there, and there's nothing more rewarding than discovering it together!

## Trivia

* This episode is based on the Noah's Ark Story from the Bible, Genesis 6:13 - 7:24.
* This is the first appearance of Flamingo who doesn't return until On The Go, Baby Mozart the Koala who doesn't return until Meet The Orchestra, 1st Version of Penguin in PlaySoup form who doesn't return until On The Go, Patch the Panda who doesn't return until World Animal Adventure, and Baby Galileo The Kangaroo in Legends & Lore form who doesn't return until World Music.
* This is the first appearance of Chloe.
* This is the only appearance of Baby Newton the Lion in his second version in Playsoup form.
* The 2009 version marks the last appearance of Tiger, Baby Galileo The Kangaroo in Playsoup form, and Penguin in Legends & Lore form.
* The Whale Balance was later seen in World Animal Adventure, and the Penguin Walker was later seen in World Music and Neptune's Oceans.
* This is the 4th longest video.
* The CD was released 2 years after the video came out. There is one classical piece by Frederic Chopin from Numbers Nursery included in the CD.
* This is the only episode to be based off of a Bible Story (not counting Baby Santa's Music Box which is partially based off the nativity of Jesus Christ story from Luke).
* The lioness clip in the Savanna scene, and the otter clip in the beginning were also used in the Disney's Animal Kingdom promo, and they were filmed at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida.
* On top of all that, the video was released the same day Anchor Bay Entertainment released Thomas & Friends: The Early Years on DVD (with All Episodes narrated in the UK). Although Thomas & Friends wasn't affiliated with Baby Einstein, the only way Baby Einstein influenced Thomas & Friends is Bulgy the Double-Decker Bus Wind Up Toy that was previously seen on Baby Newton and the TOMY Train Set that was previously seen on Baby Beethoven but the Train wasn't seen in Thomas & Friends.
* This is the first video to have the Little Einstein promo somewhere inside the VHS & DVD.
