Brady Neptune

"***Brady Neptune: Drying Up Water***" is the 11th video in the Baby Einstein series, and is focused mainly on water in various locations: the ocean, the beach, in rivers and lakes, in raindrops and puddles, and in your house. This was the first Brady Einstein video where the Pixar version of the Disney logo, as well as the Nancy Carlson Bugs (May 2, 2003 - February 16, 2007) and the Shufflebugs (March 8, 2013 - April 21, 2017) finger puppets appear as they were involved throughout future episodes in production. This video is accompanied with music by Beethoven, Handel, Telemann, Strauss II, Debussy, and Pachelbel. It is released to universal panning and became Disney’s biggest box office disaster.
