Summary: Not for the sensitive toddler.
Review: I agree with some other reviewers that this is not for the more sensitive child. The singing is very loud. My two year old was afraid of the vilian and began to cry halfway through. We too had to calm her down by showing her another Elmo DVD to let her know that Elmo was okay! I'm not sure of the age rating for this movie, but I wouldn't show it to kids under three, especially if they are sensitive.

Summary: perfect tv time!!!
Review: Normally, I am opposed to letting toddlers watch too much tv but this video is so entertaining and fun! My son got this for his 1st birthday and we've seen it everyday since! He will sit in front of the couch and watch the entire movie from beginning to end. I am pleased with the content of the video. Since this is my first child, I'm not real familiar with children's videos but this is a must for vacations and even when we go to grandma's for an extended period of time. I highly recomend this video to all parents and grandparents!

Summary: Not for emotional toddlers!!!
Review: My 2-1/2 year old loves Elmo (is very attached to him), so I rented this at our local video store. She also becomes very upset when someone she likes is upset.Five minutes into the movie we turned it off, with my toddler in hysterical tears due to the nature of the movie (Elmo's blanket gets stolen). She was only consoled by watching her Elmo's World DVD instead, where he wasn't sad. I'd recommend caution on this movie if your toddler is the emotional type.

Summary: Great Video
Review: This is a wonderful video, ties into the sing and play version. The only draw-back is I have one timid child who gets frightened when the villain arrives.

Summary: Disney-fied pablum with great performers at their worst
Review: I hate to give a bad review of this one, because I admire the work of many of the people in it. However, if you're looking for entertainment that's educational, this isn't it. This video is a single aphorism stretched out to movie length. Although I liked some performances (Joey Mazzarino as the bug,) and some songs (the STOMP - inspired song at the laundromat) the big picture was completely ignored in this video. I can't stand when children's performers talk down to kids, and this movie does that in spades...

Summary: Sesame Street's first movie since Follow That Bird
Review: I watched this movie recently on Disney. And If you are a big Elmo fan, I sure this movie you will love. But of course if you seen the tv show and wondered what the inside of Oscar's can looks like, then this is the movie to view. Elmo is the little red monster on this street which called Sesame Street where even people also live on it. But it is hard to believe (at least for me) that this show has been on the air since 1969 and usulay shows depening on if you they are a hit or not are on the air for at least 5 or more airs and may run for at least another season. When this movie begins, Elmo (Kevin Clash) is playing with this blanket until his best friend Zoe (Fran Brill) get in a fight with tle blanket and the blanket goes down Oscar's trash can and into Grouchland. And Elmo decides to get into Oscar's (Caroll Spinley who also voices Big Bird) trash can to save his blanket. And when his pals on Sesame Street found out, some go down Oscar's trash can to find Elmo.

Summary: Not one of Elmo's Best
Review: Overall, this movie is good. It still captivates my son when he watches it. It starts off with Elmo getting into a fight with Zoe over his blanket. The only part I didn't like was the way Elmo acted in the beginning. I am used to Elmo being sweet and loveable and in this movie is is down right mean and selfish. Even my husband said he was surprised to see how mean Elmo was and chooses not to play this for our son. I understand that there is a moral to the story, and I agree it teaches a good lesson. I'm just not sure my 19 month old son is old enough to fully understand it. Instead he sees his role model, Elmo, acting in a way I find inappropriate. I think this is an excellent movie for older children. And yes, it is realistic. Most children do have issues with sharing. However, I still think it will be important to explain the moral of the story and also that Elmo's behavior is wrong and only got him into trouble.

Summary: I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT MESSAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is for Leigh Deacon from Watertown, MA....I am a mother of one! And my boy is very smart and knows what it is to share at 19 months old! I feel you should not blame The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland for your child's hunger to be greedy! It is a Great Film!!!!!!!!!!
You explained you started having a problem with your son when he was 26 months old with the MINE and not sharing!!!.....Well my point is that you should have tought him the value of sharing way before he was over 2 years old!!!! And maybe he wouldn't of had the problem with MINE!!! I think he just paid attention to the wrong part of the film and tought himself a different way to Not Share!!! Don't ever under estimate a child.....even very young children....they are SMART! And if you teach them right and as early as possible....then you will not have a problem!
This Film is the best film!!!! It's great for all children!

Summary: Hooray for Elmo!!!
Review: One day when my son was watching Sesame Street, I noticed that he just stopped everything when Elmo came on the screen. So, I figured I'd rent this tape and see if he liked it. As soon as I put the tape in, JD just stopped and watched the entire movie, which was rare for my busy little boy. My husband even noticed that JD was just fascinated by Elmo. He told me to go out and buy the tape - which I immediately did. Now, my son's Elmo tape goes everywhere with him. The movie has a nice story line which helps children learn the value of sharing. Plus, it's great to see the Sesame Street gang, including Oscar, try to save Elmo. Sometimes, my husband & I even sing along - we've watched it so much that we know most of the words to the songs and all the dialogue.
