Baby Geniuses/Superbabies: Baby Geniuses


  • DVD, Double Feature, Full Screen, Special Features
  • Sony Pictures, both movies 1:33 minutes each
DR. ELENA KINDER IS CONVINCED THAT ALL BABIES ARE BORN KNOWINGTHE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE. HER CAPTIVE STABLE OF BABY GENIUSESDON'T THINK ADULTS ARE READY FOR THAT INFORMATION AND SET OUT TOFOIL HER EVIL PLOT.When babies babble or draw, adults jokingly say they know what the baby is trying to communicate. What if a clinic found that these babblings and doodles were actually very intelligent responses or scribbling of an ancient form of communication? Well, it seems that all it would create is this tepid comedy. Kathleen Turner runs the clinic that believes babies have "universal knowledge" before they learn to speak (and dumb down). What she plans to do with this knowledge is never really understood, but know this: the plans are evil. The secret lives of babies have been pretty adorably fi! lmed previously with Look Who's Talking, but here the babies talk and move via visual effects like the animals in Babe. They also karate chop adults and talk about such adorable things as "diaper gravy." By the time the story (a variation of The Parent Trap) heats up (relatively speaking), there is not much left to engage us except some cute babies that just look odd as effects take over their mouths and movements. --Doug ThomasA SUPER-BABY WITH MYSTERIOUS POWERS COMES TO THE AID OF A NEW SET OF BRILLIANT TODDLERS IN THIS HIGH-ADVENTURE SEQUEL.When babies babble or draw, adults jokingly say they know what the baby is trying to communicate.

Two-year-old Sly is the only person in her way. Dr. Kinder and her partner in crime, Dr. Heep (Christopher Lloyd), have a covert research lab dedicated to cracking the code to a secret baby language. When Sly escapes from the lab, he joins his twin brother Whit in an effort to expose the nefarious plot. Raised by his uncle (Peter MacNicol), who cares! for special children, Whit is naive to the ways of the world, and is quickly captured by Dr. Kinder. Mistaken for Whit, Sly is taken back to his uncle, where he rallies the other foster babies into a Super commando rescue squad to invade the secret lab in an effort to squash Dr. Kinder's evil plot.When babies babble or draw, adults jokingly say they know what the baby is trying to communicate.
