We had several baby things come with their own mobiles, but this one puts them all to shame. Our daughter LOVES this thing.

There is so much going on with this mobile. Little sliders move down the arms. Animals have a counterweight that spins them on their own as the larger arm moves the whole circus around. Plus the music sounds good (should have better volume control, though). We have never used the remote, but this was an excellent purchase - the mobile that came with our pack-n-play is bagged up in the garage.
