Sesame Street: Elmo Loves You (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Only 10-15 minutes of new Elmo material. All the rest is 10 years old or older. REM and Trisha Yearwood are from Season 30 (1998). Not your typical Elmo's World video. I was disappointed. BUT!!--It was all new to my toddler, and the old bit with Grover asking children to explain "love" is very sweet. Worth adding to your Elmo collection, but don't get too excited about "all-new" material. I'd also recommend picking it up at your local Wal-mart for $9.99, instead of paying Amazon $12.99 (as of 01/13/09).

Sesame Street: Bedtime With Elmo (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter who just got a big girl bed and was having trouble falling asleep. She could not express why, so we thought this video might help her articulate her feelings. It made everything worse. Now she is afraid of monsters in her room and everywhere else in the house.
I think if your child is already afraid of things in the dark it is GREAT, but if your child has no ideas about monsters, or total darkness fears you should not purchase it.

It's bedtime on Sesame Street! Just like all little kids, Elmo and Abby would rather make funny faces and sing silly songs than go to sleep. Luckily, Elmo\'s dad Louis knows just how to deal with extra glasses of water and little monsters who are afraid of the dark. Parents will love the practical strategies Louis uses to get Elmo and Abby to go to bed, and children will love snuggling under the covers with this timeless DVD. Featuring the special extra of Andrea Bocelli singing "Time To Say Goodnight" to Elmo. Stills from Bedtime with Elmo (Click for larger image)

Sing Yoursel Silly/Elmo's Musical Adventure (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these videos for my 20 month old granddaughter. Although she's very young and can easily be distracted, she sat still through the entire showing of "Peter and the Wolf" where Elmo was the star. She adores Elmo and his friends and Sing Yourself Silly gets her on her feet and dancing. She wants everyone to dance with her. Good fun for everyone!! This product was well worth the small investment!

Sesame Street: Abby in Wonderland (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the first time I've seen the Abby character in the Sesame Street programs and she sure is cute! She has a darling voice which the little ones seem to find fascinating. Sesame Street always does a great job with their DVD's and they're a favorite here. It's nice that this one is a little longer at 40 minutes than the typical 30 minutes which seems to fly by.
The voices are cute, the movie is colorful with lots of activity and the story which is a take off on Alice in Wonderland with Abby taking the part of Alice is a good one. The Sesame Street cast takes the other parts, like the Cheshire Cookie Cat or Bert and Ernie as Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.
About the only thing I would change and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it isn't a "Fast Play" or auto start DVD. You have to wait for the menu to come up and click on play. It's nice to have movies which start over on their own like the Sesame Street Sleepytime Songs and Stories. But all in all, I'd say this is a good addition to the collection.

Sesame Street's newest muppet, fairy Abby Cadabby, falls asleep and follows a Red Rabbit (Elmo) down a rabbit hole and in to a "Wonderland," where she encounters quirky and whimsical characters including Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (Bert and Ernie) and The Cheshire Cookie Cat. She also attends a silly tea party presided over by a Mad Hatter (Grover) who also can be a "sad" hatter or a "glad" hatter with the change of a hat. Will Abby find her missing magic wand and be able to get back to Sesame Street, or does the Grouch of Hearts (Oscar) have other plans?

Elmo & Abby's Birthday Fun (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 2-year-old doesn't like the repackaged Sesame Street material that makes up so many of these Elmo videos (the exception being Elmo's World, which she loves). So, videos with 5 or 10 minutes of new material and then lots of old Sesame Street stuff makes her more whiny than happy. This video falls into that category. I gave it 2 stars rather than 1 because she does like the Elmos World part. Instead of this, I recommend Abby in Wonderland which is FANTASTIC.

Dinosaurs (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son loves anything Sesame, and Dinosaurs! is no exception. He has a number of Sesame Street videos, and this one is currently his "go-to" DVD. He giggles through the whole thing. I think he especially enjoys that Elmo, Telly, and Abby spend part of the DVD dressed as different dinosaurs.
There is also a part of the show where a "real" dinosaur comes to Sesame Street. When he walks, the whole street shakes. My son loves that too!
Overall, a winner in our house!

123 Count with Me/Learning About Letters (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My kids (3 and 1 and a half) love Sesame Street's Count on Me 123 video. They were a little younger when I first bought it and while the storyline (Ernie finds a 'Furry Arms' room key on the street, returns it to the hotel & starts teaching everyone how to count) went over their heads at first, the catchy tunes, skits & scenes (mainly from the early Sesame Street episodes) soon caught their attention. There's a cohesive plot & everything links well.
Now my 3-year-old knows most of the words and even my one-and-a-half can say some numbers - it's a great video, fun to watch even for adults, and I highly recommend it.
Learning about Letters is more of a cut-and-paste of other Sesame Street skits & scenes - not that this isn't good, just that it's standard fare. I like that they are taken from the earlier Sesame Street episodes as I prefer the quality then. And my one-and-a-half year old loves the "C is for Cookie" song that I remember from back then!

Sesame Street: Being Green (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this DVD for my 2 1/2 year old cousin who adores Elmo and it was a great buy. The songs are very catchy and i cant help it but to sing along. We play it in the car, at home and every where we can. The video is very informative about "going green" but i think an older child would appreciate the message better.In addition to all of this, Elmo looks so adorable green!

Elmo and Abby find out it can be easy being green when they stumble onto the Earth-a-Thon, hosted by Mr. Earth (Paul Rudd), happening right on Sesame Street.

But what happens when Abby uses her magic to help Elmo be really "green"? This jam-packed DVD is filled with songs, ideas, and suggestions from real kids around the world!

Sesame Street: Elmo & Friends - Tales of Adventure (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So, let's be honest, we adults usually end up watching these videos as much as the kids. This is actually a fun video with some references for parents. It is made up of 3 stories; A great shape adventure with Telly Monster, A small big adventure with Big Bird and the Amazing Alphabet race with Telly and Elmo... which is a parody of The Amazing Race. Try to find all the Indiana Jones references in the Triangle of Destiny with Telly. My two year old loves this video and we can just show one instead of the whole video in needed. This one made me appreciate Telly a lot more. and my kiddo has learned a lot for this video.

The scenes with Anne Hathaway, Alicia Keys and Jamie Foxx are memorable and my husband and I find ourselves singing the songs long after the DVD is over. A must for any Elmo fan.

Sesame Street: Love the Earth (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In comparing both of Sesame Street's recent Elmo-Earth releases, while "Being Green" had a more humorous presentation, "Love The Earth" is more thoughtful and probably better because the messages stick. Most parents would agree that there are many helpful lessons on either video... in fact if you look hard enough you can find them packaged on the same disc.
Whether or not this 45-minute episode on its own is worth $10 is a little harder to answer. When my two-year-old watches Sesame Street, he pays close attention when the main characters are on the screen, but he loses interest during the interstitials... the format of the show is usually so fast-paced though that we come back to his friends often enough, and he keeps watching. With "Love The Earth" they basically filmed 15 minutes of new material of Elmo and the gang, then filled the other 30 minutes with old non-Elmo segments, which are totally educational but are played two or three in a row before we get back to the main story.
I would say that many of Sesame Street's DVD releases seem to be more compilations of old material then completely new productions, and I would not be complaining if that material mostly involved the character on the front cover of the DVD. But he's only around a third of the time, and that is kind of lame.
