The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland Reviews

---

(Almost) Feature length Elmo
My twenty-four month old son was familiar with Elmo from "Elmo's World," the fifteen minute segments that air during "Sesame Street." When we originally played this for him around eighteen months, he wouldn't watch it. It must have been too realistic for him, with Elmo's character being fleshed out a little more than on his show segments. There is also a plot with this, whereas the show simply introduces various simple concepts. Now he will sit and watch the entire movie, which runs barely more than an hour. His favorite part (who knows why) is Big Bird getting stuck in the trash can. This has little or nothing to do with the plot, though it serves to illustrate how well the folks at Sesame Street understand the mind of a child. I really have no qualms about letting my children watch Sesame Street because I know they are in very capable hands. There are learning lessons throughout, presented with the usual Sesame Street flair. The movie is also fairly entertaining for adults, with some decent songs. There seems to be less humor with this one than with other Sesame Street and Elmo productions, but that can be overlooked.

Becareful! May not be suitable for toddlers.
I thought this movie would be a lot of fun for my 2 year old who loves Elmo. I was having fun watching it in the beginning, and wish I could have seen the entire movie. However, about 15 minutes through Elmo encounters a "scary" helicoptor, and a villian who takes away his blanket. My daughter burst into tears. I could only console her by skipping to the end to show that Elmo got his blanket back. Two weeks after viewing she is still talking about the scary helicoptor and mean man. She, of course, would not let me put the movie in again, no matter how I assured her it was just silly and not scary.
