Rating: Summary: More Details for you Elmophiles... Review: After a week's worth of viewing this tape, I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Our daughter, age 18 months, is an absolute Elmo fanatic, and we have many, many Elmo and Sesame Street tapes in our collection. We were excited to see this one come out, because she also loves cowboys/cowboy music, like "Riders in the Sky" (singing cowboy group) and so do we! The Riders don't appear on this tape, but the guests who do seem to fit the bill just fine!Overall, I think we've had a positive reaction to it, but it does make me understand why "Elmo's World" segments are only about 15 minutes long. That's about how long you really want to hear Elmo do his high-energy exploration of any one subject. This tape is a really, really long Elmo's World, more or less--and it can seem to go on and on and on. Smaller viewers and less patient parents may get that "when's it going to end?" feeling. However, you can see why they had to make it long--you get lots of cute extra things like footage of Elmo riding a real pony, songs like "Home on the Range," a segment about Pecos Bill (with a mustached Elmo as Bill), etc. Too many to fit in 15 minutes! You also get a couple visits with "Cowboy Noodle" etc. If your kid is a wannabe cowboy, and also an Elmo fan, this is like heaven! The Sesame Street folks also tack on a few extras, which I believe are included in the total running time listed on the tape. One is the "Monster Clubhouse" segment you may have seen them run on Sesame Street. Four brand-new monster characters have a fun little meeting in their clubhouse. No, your child won't learn much, but it's silly and cute. I find it a tad too high-energy, and the character voices are a little annoying. The second "bonus" is a short segment of Baby Bear and his hero (which he drew with crayons), "Hero Guy." It's extra fun for the kids, but I can't help but feel that the Sesame Street people know they have a captive audience, so they use new tapes as a set-up to get you hooked on their new ideas/segments/shows. I don't think either of these add-ons is exciting enough to be a stand-alone, but there's no ballot included in the video box. ; )
Rating: Summary: Wild Wild West is the Bestest Yet! Review: By far the best of the Elmo's World DVD/Videos. Entertaining, educational and it keeps my 2 yr old son dancing and singing the whole way through. It's a shame that Michael Jeter has passed away and we won't get another Noodle family reunion; but here for posterity is the best of the best for the Noodles! My son knows every step to the Noodle western dance and has learned some new vocabulary, especially animals. Highly recommended!

Rating: Summary: elmo--the best actor of our time Review: here is elmo--in all his madness, rage, passion and brilliance. never before has an artist bared his little fuzzy soul so unashamedly and with such burning authenticity. in an age of explosions and commodified media, elmo strikes his posture of defiance and fearless creativity. move over, duchamp--we have a new artist who mercilessly exposes our comic unreality and farce.
Rating: Summary: This will turn your child into a horse lover! Review: I bought this DVD for my 2 year old daughter. It is almost always her first choice when it's time for a movie, and we have a pretty extensive collection!! She has always loved Elmo, but she has now become a horse lover too. She loves to play "horsey" on Mommy, Daddy & anyone that will let her. I even caught her playing "horsey" on her one year old little sister. Both of my daughters love this DVD!!!
Rating: Summary: This keeps my son bouncing and smiling. Review: I bought this for my son for Christmas and he has watched it at least once a day since. He is 14 months old and bounces to the music. We even took it on our recent trip to Florida and brought our laptop so he could watch it on the plane. The only other DVD's that we had purchased before for our son were from the Baby Einstein series. My son now prefers Elmo hands down. We anxiously awaiting the release of the Elmo's World - Springtime in February.
Rating: Summary: Fun for all ages Review: I have four sons, ages between 2 and 8 years. All four of them were riveted to this film, and have watched it a couple of times in the short time that we've had it. It's wonderful to have found a movie I can feel completely comfortable allowing my children to watch - that they actually enjoy viewing more than once.
Rating: Summary: A great variation from the regular Elmo's World Tapes Review: I really like this movie, and so does my 20 month old son. It's a stretched out version of an Elmo's World segment on the Wild Wild West with the usual formula. My favorite is when Travis Tritt (?) comes at the end so Elmo can talk to a real cowboy and learn more. It's just a lot of fun, the live action segments are great, and the music is catchy. The video also has a short segment after called Monster Clubhouse. I haven't seen these characters before, but it's okay. Nothing great. Then there's a very short Hero Guy segment after that that's also just okay. Gives you your money's worth, if nothing else. But I definitely highly recommend the Elmo part.
Rating: Summary: Elmo's World Wild Wild West Review: I viewed a special airing of this video on television. We can not wait until it comes out for sale. My son loved the episode and was smiles from ear to ear. I recommend this episode highly and think it is a "must have" for all childrens video libraries !
Rating: Summary: The best Elmo Video Yet.. Review: my 17 month old loves this dvd. We have alot of Elmo dvd's but this
is the one that he always takes off the shelf and wants to watch.
He screams with delight when I put this one in the player. He even tries to do the dance with the noodles.The songs are very catchy and it holds his attention alot longer than any other dvd he watches. Definitely worth the money. And the crayons in place of the bullets is great!
