Review: My 16 month old loves Elmo. I have never seen him sit and actually watch something on t.v. especially for over 5 minutes. Good going Elmo!

Summary: thoroughly entertaining
Review: We took our daughter, then 15 months old, to see this movie at the theater. She sat still for the entire movie. Now that we own it on video, she sings and dances to every song. Mandy Patinkin completely outdoes himself as the evil Huxley....he's great !

Summary: Way to go Elmo!
Review: I took my daughter to this movie the day she turned 14 months. She loved it and didn't move through the entire movie. Except to blow "raspberries" with the queen of trash!

Summary: We LOVE Elmo!
Review: I wasn't sure how my daughter would be in a theater (she's 2 1/2 & this was our first time), but I needn't have worried. She was captivated! It was cute & entertaining for me; but she loved it. Burt & Ernie kept the concept of falling into Grouchland from being too scary, and the tunes were engaging. I highly recommend for all pre-schoolers!

Summary: Together Forever
Review: What a movie! What a monster! I tell you, you've got to love that Elmo; he's sooo cute! So what if I am a 16 y/o male, that doesn't mean you can't stop loving kids stuff. Elmo and Big Bird are two of my favorite characters on Sesame Street. Mandy Patinkin, I feel, did a great job in this movie as Huxley. And Vanessa Williams... whoo! She needs no introduction. She was wonderful as the Queen of Trash. This is truly a movie that I would treasure forever. If you weren't able to see it in the theater, don't be sad. THE ADVENTURES OF ELMO IN GROUCHLAND is coming to video, so miss out on a copy."Together Forever, The World Seems Fine. We Never Would Ever Leave You Behind."

Summary: Great Movie!
Review: My son was afraid initially waiting for the movie to start, but once it started bopped to the songs and loved the movie. Everytime we pass the theatre he wants to go back and watch it again. Highly recommended

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I highly recomend this movie for anyone with young children. I took both my son (2 1/2) and daughter (1 1/2) to see this in the theater. I was very nervous because this was our first theater experience. Not only did my son sit still for the whole movie, he was talking about it for days afterward. My daughter didn't quite make it through the whole thing, but I didn't really expect her to. It was very easy to follow, my son was telling the story to his grandparents, aunt, and anyone who would listen. Very good movie.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I am the aunt of a 17 month old girl, and she absolutely loved this movie! She was riveted to the screen the entire time. Those of you with young children will understand how difficult it is to maintain a child's attention. This movie succeeded in spades! The only problem her mother and I have is in one of the interactive scenes, which has succeeded in our being rewarded with "raspberries" constantly.

Summary: Elmo Rules!
Review: I am the mother of an 18-month-old daughter who is an absolute Elmo nut! We saw this movie in the theater and it was the first time she has sat still for more than five minutes since she was a very small baby. She hardly even blinked during the entire 73 minutes of the movie. Excellent movie and I would recommend it to all parents of children who love Elmo.

Summary: Wrong Message Gets Across
Review: Is Elmo irritating? Heck yes. I wish he could use the pronoun "I." BUT he's a cuddly cute friend to a lot of toddlers out there, mine included. We don't watch Sesame Street at home, but my son must get enough Elmo from the daycare, because he knew who this movie was about when we borrowed it from the library. The message viewers are supposed to get is about sharing - after not wanting to share his beloved blanket with his friend Zoe, Elmo loses said blanket down Oscar's trashcan and subsequently into Grouchland, where it is claimed by the colorful villian Huxley, who never shares anything. So our little ones should be learning how to share...unfortunately, one of the more memorable songs is sung by Mandy Patinkin (Huxley) called "MINE." My little boy had never grabbed anything and yelled "Mine!" until he watched this video. He understood about Elmo's blanket, because he has one of his own that's special, but it seems he got the wrong message! The film itself is a bit of a mixed bag of images; Vanessa Williams is stunning as the Queen of Trash, but her appearance is like a short cameo. There's a giant chicken that seems loosely related to Huxley. A conveniently placed talking vegetable. This is not the caliber of education and entertainment I've come to expect from the Children's Television Workshop, or from Henson Productions. I wouldn't recommend the video for children under 3, even if they're Elmo fans (my son was 26 months when we had the "MINE!" problem.) Hooray for Ernie and Bert, though, our time-tested film narrators!
