Summary: Fun Sesame Street clips make it good...extras make it great!
Review: Although, like other Sesame Street made-for-sale products, the storyline is a little weak (Super Grover looks for the Song Everyone Can Sing,) this DVD is still great fun. It's mostly comprised of song clips from the show, including a montage of "Sing," Wayne Brady singing "Between" from the 2003 season, "Operatic Lullaby" with Denyce Graves, "Soul Alphabet" with Patti LaBelle, "The Letter O" with Queen Latifah, and "Everybody's Song" with Diana Krall. Muppet clips include "Do de Rubber Duck," "Doin the Pidgeon," "Eight Balls of Fur," and "You Made Me Love You" with Cookie Monster.Performances on this DVD are terrific: it's great to see SuperGrover crashing his way through the screen again. If not for the credits, you'd never know Frank Oz isn't a performer - Cookie and Grover are rock-solid, just like I remember them! They could have skipped the letters/numbers homage to West Side Story, but otherwise, it's great to see Oscar and Big Bird interact with Elmo and SuperGrover, The extras on this DVD really made it worth buying for this vintage Sesame Street fan, though: There are four vintage clips in their entirety: "ABC-DEF-GHI," "I Like You," "Captain Vegetable," and, best of all, a montage of the "Pinball Number Count"(same as the song on the 35th anniversary CD.) I also like the cover - it opens into a board book with lyrics to several songs; a great plus if you have a preschooler!

Summary: Just not to par...
Review: I was really excited to get this - thinking that it would have some nice segments showcasing the musical artists that have appeared on S.Street. I really wanted a DVD that would be fun/nice to listen too for all of us - kids and adults. Lets face it who doesnt enjoy seeing REM or Diana Krall sing with the Muppets! My kids are singing more and more and I throught we might pick up some of the songs together.
The video has far fewer musical guest segments than I thought and the music selected just really isnt that good - especially when compared to some of the really nice pieces done on the series. I was also disappointed with the contrived story line that takes Grover all over town - it takes up too much time and is rather boring. It just wasnt what I expected. The kids dont seem to like it very much either. Not nearly as engaging as other S. Street DVDs - doesnt consistently introduce them to rhythm and counting (as does Lets Make Music), nor does it give good exposure to music and instruments (like Peter and the Wolf). Not to take these videos too seriously, but I just dont see a reason to show this to the kids - it doesnt have great music nor does it focus on an educational aspect (alphabet, numbers, etc.). Maybe next time...

Summary: Sesame Street - What's the Name of That Song
Review: My 11 month old son just loves this DVD. He watches at least 2 times a day. He can't get enough of it! I think the program is adorable. The way they put in the cameos from the actual show is very cute. If your kid loves Sesame Street, they will love this DVD!

Summary: Never bored...
Review: My 13 month old daughter can watch this video/DVD once a day and never get bored. It's highly entertaining. My daughter is bi-racial and lives in the city. This video is very urban and multicultural. My favorite is "Do the Duck," but she tends to move the most to "Eight Balls of Fur." She is not a good TV watcher--her attention span is usually short when viewing TV programs, but she will sit through the entire 50 minute video.

Summary: Great for kids who love music!
Review: My 14 month old daughter never gets enough of her DVD's featuring music, and this is another one she loves! I'll admit I was a little disappointed when the Dixie Chicks were only in the "Sing a Song" music montage for about 10 seconds (maybe less), but the Queen Latifah, Patti LaBelle, and Wayne Brady segments make up for it!! And she and I both love "Eight Balls of Fur" - we dance like we're crazy and laugh hysterically! This is a keeper. Definitely check out the extra sections with the "Pinball Number Count" (my favorite as a child), and "Captain Vegetable" - that one cracks us up too! Great video!!

Summary: Great new addition to our collection
Review: My 17-month-old girl has been enthralled by this DVD since the very first viewing. I have really enjoyed the celebrity clips. Wayne Brady's "Between" and Queen Latifah's rap about the letter O are so cute and clever. I also like the bonus features, which include cast interviews (funny interview clips with Grover, Elmo) and 4 classic Sesame Street shorts. Highly recommended if your kids like Sesame Street. (And who doesn't?)

Summary: Disappointed
Review: My 20 month old is a HUGE Sesame Street fan but I was disappointed in this one. He was uninterested. I would recommend The Best of Elmo and Lets Make Music.

Summary: Excellent for WHOLE family!
Review: My 20 month old LOVES this video! Elmo is his favorite character and the Patti LaBelle Alphabet has been his favorite clip since he first saw it a few months ago on PBS. We have other videos and many tv channels and this is by far one of his favorites. He loves music performed by his favorite characters. My husband and I watch this with him. We enjoy the great artists such as Diana Krall and Diane Shuur. It brings back my own childhood memories of Sesame Street. The Pinball counting clip has always been my favorite. The characters performances are flawless, Frank Oz and Jim Henson would be proud to see their tremendous work carried on for new generations!

Summary: LOVE IT! - Be sure to check out "For Parents" on the DVD
Review: My now 23 month old has loved this from day one - she sings along to all the song and even acts out the "Between" segment whenever she finds herself betwwen two of us!
BE SURE TO CHECK THE "For PARENTS" FEATURE - After several months owning this DVD I found a whole other segment about music Under the "Music Makes Wonders" section It features Hoots the owl teaching Elmo about Music - Don't miss this!- I don't know why they didn't list it differently on the menu.
