Sesame Street - We All Sing Together

Rating:
Summary: Musical news report
Review: A delightful and highly entertaining news report about kids by Herry Monster (with Elmo and Telly) interspersed with songs that describe our differences (hair color, eye color, skin color) and emphasize our similarities. My seven month old loves it and has been watching it for the past 3 months.

Summary: Outdated
Review: A very disappointing video. One or two good songs but the rest are so outdated you will laugh. The images of little kids dressed in 70s apparal alone is enough for this to be redone. Considering it came out in 1994, this looks like a rush to video production rather than a well planned one like is usually the case from these folks. Avoid it.

Summary: Diversity - Sesame Style
Review: In a recent interview, Sonia Manzano (Maria) said she didn't realize until she was touring that many people in the US had never seen a Latino other than on Sesame Street.

As a half-Latin Midwesterner who grew up in the '70s, I can attest that this aspect of Sesame Street made a big difference in my life. This video is all about this wonderful side of Sesame Street.

Herry Monster anchors a "Monster Report" about kids, which cuts to a series of song clips like "Skin," "Fixing My Hair," and "Faces;" and then bring things back around to show Gladys the Cow and Buster the Horse singing "Different Yet the Same" and rounds it all off with "We All Sing With the Same Voice" Terrific handling of a touchy subject.

My toddler loves this video, and I do, too - and it has Elmo in it for the diehards. It's out of print - buy it if you can find it!

Summary: Brings back great memories
Review: This DVD/video will bring back sesame street memories from your childhood! Today's kids do not realize or care how 1970's it is. They love it! We would watch it in our daycare center a lot! It has a lot of great songs.
