Rating: Summary: Sadly...not good! Review: I bought this DVD in spite of reading the negative reviews here on Amazon and decided that a 4* average rating was worth it. I was WRONG!
This DVD is SHORT about 30 mins total including the ads! Rouhgly 15 mins running time! Ridiculous!
Furthermore, I expected Sesame Street classics like Ernie singing "Rubber Ducky", "Yellow Submarine" and so on. Instead we get the Sesame Street version of a few Nursery rhymes and BAD sesame street versions at that.
My One year old who normally stays glued once Sesame Street is on WALKED AWAY after a few minutes! My 6 year old complained that the songs were "not right. They are singing them wrong!" She said. She didn't like it.
This has been a MAJOR disappointment. Better off to by Barney..at least you get FULL time with menus and the children stay interested.
In this instance, the 1 star reviewers got it dead right! This was a total waste of money!
Rating: Summary: Best DVD for toddlers Review: I got this DVD for when my 2 year old cousin comes over to visit. I just pop this in and she is captivated by Elmo. She loves to watch it and everytime she comes over to visit, its the first thing she requests.
I must say that I enjoy watching it also because there are classic songs that everyone loves, like Row Row Row the Boat, and ABC's, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It also repeats the numbers 1 through 10 all the time so that she can actually follow along and say one through ten now, and she only just starting speaking! My little cousin loves to dance to all the songs on this DVD. She watches it at least three times every time she comes over.
This DVD is a GREAT gift for those with a little one in the family.
Rating: Summary: GOOD kid's show... Review: I grew up with these things. I hold Sesame Street near and dear, and think all kids should be a-watchin' this. If I had kids, I'd show them this, rather than the creepy kids shows we have now. Teletubbies? What? And anything else with kids? Huh? How did it evolve into what it is now? My kid's gonna be living in the mid to late 80's, as far as kid's shows are concerned...much better times back then.
Rating: Summary: Great DVD Review: I brought this for my nephew, a 16month old, and he loved it. He dances and jumps through out the DVD.
You should note however that the DVD features mainly popular children's songs like Twinkle Twinkle, She'll Be coming Round the Mountain, Baa Black Sheep etc, NOT Sesame Street originals.Also since the story line is based on Elmo doing a "countdown" on the radio, the DVD repeatedly counts backward from 10 to 1, so if you have toddlers who are learning to count you may or may not find this to be a beneficial thing, becasue it may confuse them or help them depending on your child. My nephew is pretty young and isn't learning to count as yet so this isn't a problem.
I wish the DVD was a little longer, it seems to be pretty short.
Rating: Summary: Not as good as... Review: This version is not nearly as good as the Kids Favorite Songs 2. I wouldn't recommend anyone waste their money on this, go straight for the second one.
Rating: Summary: Very Nice!!! Could have been a bit better! Review: I didn't know what to expect from this DVD with the conflicting reviews. My 14 month old LOVES this DVD. She is a big fan of the Sesame show and this DVD has a great mix of puppets singing and intermitten cartoon number segments. It definately holds her attention. I found no problems with the sound quality. Maybe it was recently improved since others have bought it. The sound is clear. Also, you CAN skip over the advertisements for other videos in the beginning of the DVD with the click of the fast forward button. I'm pleased - I even went back and ordered Kids Songs 2 - which my daughter does not like as much.
