Baby Mozart

**Baby Mozart** is the second Baby Einstein video in the series, made in 1998 and was reissued in 1999. At the time, there was a popular scientific theory which stated that Mozart music made babies smart, and the idea for Baby Mozart was born. In 2000, the sound design for Baby Mozart was updated by Bill Weisbach. A new Baby Mozart CD came out when the sound design was updated. Later in 2004, Baby Mozart had some footage replaced with different toys and updated the credits.

## Trivia

* This was the first video feature music by Mozart (as well as classical music in general).
* In the 1998-2003 versions, the Mozart character on the cover was a yellow bear. This was changed to Leo the Koala sometime in 2003/2004.
* Originally, it was released under I Think I Can Productions, along with Language Nursery.
* This video marks the debut of Bard the Poetic Dragon (who would later be the main character of Baby Shakespeare).
	+ In addition, this was the first video to feature official puppet shows.
* The trumpet fanfare on the castle was reused from Language Nursery.
* This video marked the debut of Sierra Clark.
* Aspen Clark would appear in the 1998-2003; 2010 version during the end credits.
* When FHE Started working for BE in 2000, the music was redone.
* A blooper would have showed Bard with no tongue and saying "Bah".
* The bonus features menu was originally going to have bloopers, but was ultimately scrapped because it might have been confusing to the younger viewers.
	+ Speaking of that, Bard was originally going to say "Bah!", but was cut.
