Summary: Elmocize
Review: I purchased this video for my 2 year old daughter. I have my own exercise tapes, but was not able to use them when she was around. I felt that if she had her own tape, that she would allow mommy to "work out". Well, it worked! My daughter really enjoys Elmocize! My daughter particuarly likes music and enjoys the catchy songs. The physical exercises are quite easy. I also like the diversity of children that are displayed in the tapes, including a physically challenged child. My daughter has now grown out of Elmocize and we are looking for something a little more physically challenging.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ugh--this is the one Elmo denies having made...
Review: If Elmo were interviewed, and they asked him about "Elmocize," he'd have to make excuses. He was young... he didn't know what he was doing.

We own this tape as part of our VAST Sesame Street and Elmo collection, since our daughter loves the furry red monster with every ounce of her being. But I have to say that "Elmocize" is the absolute worst Elmo video out there (well, that we've found, anyway). The concept, getting kids to move to the beat, have fun, and exercise with Elmo, is a good one. However, this unfortunate tape was made at one of the low points (in my opinion) in Sesame Street history. The cast at the time was, er, less than talented. So, I have to agree with a previous reviewer--the poor girl who runs the dance studio couldn't sing her way out of a wet paper bag (I guess that's why she's a dancer!). It's not ALL her fault, though--the songs are really weak here! It starts with the insipid "Elmocize! Elmocize! Everybody . . . Elmocize!" Repeat, repeat, repeat. You'll be thinking "Elmocide! Elmocide! Somebody . . . commit Elmocide!" And we LOVE Elmo! Even the Sesame Street kids on the tape seem really, really bored--like they'd rather be studying multiplication. Put it this way--when and if our daughter ever gets to that "rip the tape out of the cassette for fun" stage, I hope this one's the first to go.

Review: If my daugter was old enough to rate this, she would give it 5 stars. She is 1-1/2 year and loves this video. She asks to watch it several times a day. The short scenes of "activities", such as bending, jumping, and twisting, are appropriate for young toddlers that are not ready for choreographed workouts. The length of the scenes are appropriate for this age group as their attention spans are not very long. It has lots of singing and some "free-style" dance and of course the favorite Elmo.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Elmocizing is tons of fun
Review: My 2 year ols loves this movie and it has turned her into a huge Elmo fan. I gave it a four because she does not like the Benny Hop ( neither do I, he's a rude bunny that is a little scarry). However, the rest of this movie is great and she has picked up all the exercises. I much prefer this too a movie she just sits and stares at.
note: Get in and do this with your kids you might find you need to do it more often ( iwas exhausted the first time)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just sit back and watch
Review: My daughter resents the time I spend on my exercise tapes. I was hoping to include her, by doing this Elmo tape together. Unfortunately this is a terrible tape if that is what you want. She was bored, the few exercises on the tape were sandwiched between vignettes that distracted you. My daughter doesn't mind sitting and watching, but there is nothing on this tape to get her up and moving. As for me, I can't even bear to sit through it. So much for together time!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Fun to watch, but not to get fit!
