Summary: Stomp is a great addition
Review: The cast of Stomp is a great addition to this DVD. My daughter fell in love with it the first time we watched it and asks for it repeatedly. More importantly, it is not overly annoying to adults.

How I rated this DVD:
* Educational value. Since buying this DVD my daughter has become very interested in making her own music. I have found her stomping, making drums from rubbermade containers, and trying to blow in bottles. She is only 20 months old and I think this is very impressive since we have only had the tape a few weeks.
* Entertaining to child. Keeps her entertained through the whole video.
* Entertaining to adults. I can even watch the tape with her and not become mindlessly numb.
* The DVD starts right at the menu. No annoying commercials to sit through.
* Cost. The video did not break the budget. It was reasonably priced.

Summary: Stomp + Sesame Street = GREAT STUFF for little ones
Review: The cast of Stomp visits Sesame Street in this fantastic DVD.

In the usual Sesame Street style, there is a general plot line (Telly loses his Tuba) intertwined with short bits and cartoons all related to making music. The Stomp cast crosses in and out of the plot, making music with brooms, cans, boxes of Tic Tacs, etc. Very creative and very charming.

My 14-month-old loves this video. He's just starting to try to make "music" along with the video, usually using an oatmeal box or pots and pans that I put nearby for him to use.

Great stuff, including the "Pinball" cartoon (counting to 12) that I loved to watch when I was little.

Summary: our babies are addicted -- but in a good way
Review: They've been watching every night as their bedtime winddown for a couple months now (they're 14 month old twins) and still enjoy it. They've become more musical watching it, somehow -- clapping, tapping feet, bobbing the head. We have not yet found any other Sesame Street video that compares with this one. Love it. It's even tolerable for the parents to watch over and over and over....

Summary: fascinating - please make more like this
Review: This DVD is amazing. The clever ways of making music (mostly percussive) with everyday objects made for such entertaining viewing, and of course STOMP is always a treat to watch.

The main problem with this DVD is that it is TOO SHORT. Sure, it is 40 minutes but it was so interesting and entertaining for us and our 18-month old that we wanted more. We only watch a few minutes of TV with her at one time but with this one we were tempted to sit and watch number after number. (OK, we didn't, but we were tempted to.) After she went to bed we watched it from beginning to end. The tuba bit with Bert in the park is so good we watched it twice.

Another nice thing about this DVD is that there is no annoying unskippable "advertising" at the beginning as so many Sesame Street DVDs seem to have. For that reason I usually buy VHS unless a reviewer says you can go right to the menu from the beginning.

Strangely, it seems that if one of the sketches is from the original Sesame Street, then the date of publication is listed as 1969. Most of this DVD was new material. As other reviewers have mentioned, the animated number pinball sketch was here, in a bit more organized fashion (only one number) than it appears on The Street We Live On. That said, the new numbers are well chosen. The only one I was a bit bored by was the girls and their playground "grandma's sick in bed" routine, and that was only because in teaching the younger child how to do it they repeated it several times. But doing this allows for the audience to give it a try, so perhaps that's the point.

Overall this is one of the best Sesame Street videos I have seen, and I have been looking for good ones for a while. The intro song done by two members of Stomp is almost worth the price alone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Amazon Sesame Street DVD listed incorrectly as 1969.
Review: This is a really fun DVD. My daughter enjoys it a lot.
The only problem is that Amazon lists these Sesame Street DVDs as from 1969. I purchased a few of them to discover that only portions, such as the pinball count video, are from the original Sesame Street. The majority of the scenes are not from my generation at all!

Otherwise, it's a swell DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fab for kids and parents too!
Review: This is a truly clever, inspiring video! My husband and I both enjoy it, and my 2 1/2 y.o. daughter has watched it countless times in the six months we've had it. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best Sesame Street videos!
Review: This is one of my favorite Sesame Street videos and we have several. In this video, Telly learns that music can be made from many different things, as the members of Stomp! make music all along Sesame Street with different every day objects. My favorite part has to be the "can can" part with Oscar the Grouch. The two guys from Stomp! in this part are hilarious with their facial expressions and then dialogue ("Cans? We've got cans!" and "Yeah, we'll go get them!"). Trust me, you've got to see that part. It's adorable.
Easily one of my daughter's favorite videos too, she will sit through this one time and time again. It is a great video for fans of Sesame Street (of all ages!).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every Little Thing Is Music!
Review: This is THE BEST sesame street video out there. My son LOVES it. He always asks for STOMP. Now everything in the house is a drum. If your child enjoys music, this is a must have for your collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: This one really makes ya want to get up and move-it shows kids that they can find music in just about anything they can get into their hands. Great to see the cast of the Broadway play "Stomp" interact with the S.S. kids-they were all fantastic.
