Rating: Summary: NOT for Children Review: This tape was not liked by my child. It's an Ed Sullivan/awards show format intended to impress adults (and not very good at that either). The Elmo critic who counts in my family is Miss Gemma Paige, 20 months. She loves Elmo, watches all his shows on PBS, watches and dances to his other videos, and exercises with glee to Elmocise. However, she was totally uninterested in this video each time we put in it the VCR so we gave up. Worst money spent on a video for Miss Gemma.
Rating: Summary: Rent it first . . Review: After reading other reviews it seems that this title is a hit and miss with kids. Interestingly while one review mentioned his/her child preferred Elmo in Grouchland, my son (14 months old) prefers this title instead. It just goes to show that kids of all ages have various tastes. One thing is for certain, I'd take a day full of playing this DVD repeatedly over a day full of Barney. The tunes are catchy, particularly Shawn Colvin's "I dont want to live on the moon" and En Vogue's "I want a monster to be my friend". Rent it and then buy it . . Thats what I did . .
Rating: Summary: Too much Rosie Review: We were disapointed to see this video had very little of Elmo and a lot of Rosie O'Donnell. It really didn't keep me son's attention - and when Rosie broke into song - my son broke into the other room. His other Sesame Street video Let's Make Music keeps him interested even after 40+ veiwings. Elmopalooza lost his interest the first time he saw it.
Rating: Summary: Love Sesame Street - but not this one! Review: My son (17 months) picks up and asks to watch the DVD/Video he wants. We own 7 different Sesame Street videos and this is the only one he has never asked to watch again and actually walks away from it when it is on the TV. That is the main part of the review. As to why?, probably because the songs are not so catchy for young kids, even though the preview on the other tapes makes Elmopalooza appealing. I was suprised by the quality, usually Sesame Street is synonymous with an excellent product. Although I did like the Rosie number and it is Sesame Street, so I gave it two stars. If your child loves to dance and hear music try Sesame Street's Count 'Em 1-2-3, I think we've played it over 100 times already!
Rating: Summary: Sesame Street, always a winner! Review: This is a fabulous and funny musical tribute to Sesame Street. It is a great variety show (a la Muppet Show) which is a plus. Jon Stewart plays a great part of the would-be show host that gets locked in his dressing room. Elmo is prevalent, but not as much as the title would suggest. I don't believe that it is enough to give it disparaging marks! (For those of you who are hung up on Elmo, check out Elmo in Grouchland!) Rosie, Shawn and all of the stars are gregarious and wonderful for children to watch. In fact, it is a video that I enjiy watching with or without my children!!! 5 stars!
Rating: Summary: Inappropriate for young children Review: The show starts off good until the first group comes on. These songs are not the typical Sesame Street/Elmos World songs. My 2 yr old was scared at the first "rap" song. It was a very "in your face" loud song. She loves Elmo & we were very disappointed that he was hardly in it. They like the puppets & they weren't seen much at all either. The majority of the videos and how they are performed are not for the young viewer. They never want to watch it & I don't want them too. I wish I could return it. The worst $20 I ever spent.
Rating: Summary: Where is Elmo? Review: This video is just horrible! I bought it because my 18 month old loves Elmo. Elmo is barely in the video! After 2 minutes, my toddler walked out of the room. It most definitely did not hold any interest for her.
Rating: Summary: Very entertaining for kids as well as adults Review: We've had this video since my daughter was 6 months old. It wasn't until she was around 15 months old that she really liked this movie. Now we watch "Elmopooza" 3 and 4 times a day. Punishment for her is having her movie put on top of the refrigerator for a day. The older songs bring back memories and have me singing along with my daughter.
Rating: Summary: ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO FROM SESAME STREET Review: This video was so great for my 1 year old son. As soon as he hears the music come on, he stops whatever he's into and focuses on this video. He loves the songs, they are so creative, I love watching with him! Granted this is more like a music video format than a Sesame Street show, but it still has all the characters familiar to children, and they are presented in such a creative way to the viewer, you can'thelp but get hooked. I give this 5 stars!
Rating: Summary: I've seen this one over 60 times.... Review: and I still find it amusing. My 13-month old has absolutely LOVED it for about 3 months now. It's very clever and funny, and has a great variety. I wish there were more just like this one. It's the only way I can cook dinner sometimes!
