Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland

Pros: Great music, many characters represented

How Elmo Came Into Our Lives I never would have picked Elmo for my son, rather Elmo and Colin have been inseparable since birth. As a newborn, daycare informed us that Colin would only take a small plush Elmo doll in his crib with him, and ...

Pros: fun, teaches friendship and sharing, includes Sesame Street characters
Cons: nothing

I was lucky enough to be able to take care of my nephew for a little less than a week in November. But I was less than fortunate because he happened to develop a huge liking for Elmo in the past few months beforehand so my brother has been ...

Pros: Great Sesame Street cast, teaches sharing, Elmo is adorable
Cons: none

At first when we bought this movie I didn't know how much it would get watched. We got it for our son at Christmas last year and it really hasn't gotten watched much until just recently. On occasions while watching t.v. We have watched Sesame Street...

Pros: all star cast, positive messages, quality you expect from being Sesame Street
Cons: as an adult, cute the first time . Tolerable afterwards

My son Wesley received "Elmo In Grouchland" for his second birthday.He just received the video 2 days ago and already it is a big hit in our house.My son really loves this video.Its one of the few shows that he will sit down and watch and not...

Pros: It's Elmo!!
Cons: Voice gets annoying after a while...kind of scary for small children

My almost three year old girl is a huge Elmo fan and has a blanket who is her best friend - just like Elmo does in the movie. We've gone through 24 hours of being without 'Eee-ee', just as Elmo did in the movie (and it wasn't pretty!). So, naturally, I...

Pros: Lots of action, plenty of music. Entertains and enthralls children.
Cons: Not very educational, and the lesson of sharing is not covered well.

My blanket. Mine, mine, mine! What toddler or child has not screamed that out loud? To make matters worse, Elmo agrees. His blanket in the movie Elmo in Grouchland is his, and he will do anything to defend his lovable blankie.

I see that...

Pros: Bert and Ernie are great, teaches value of sharing
Cons: No real educational value, A little TOO silly

Now that we have our own children, my husband and I were feeling a sense of nostalgia when we purchased The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. Sadly, this film did NOT live up to our high expectations.

The premise of the movie is that Elmo...

Pros: Silly, cute, has good values that children need to learn, packed with music and dancing and plain silliness.
Cons: This like any other movie will not please everyone and may scare some children. Although my child loved it.

Our Elmo Experience


While walking past some "previously viewed" movies in a video rental store one day, my then 10 month old daughter surprised me and my mother both, when she reached for a movie and barely uttered...

Pros: a kids movie, just over 60 minutes long
Cons: you might catch yourself singing the songs in public

My wife and I took our son to see his first movie, Elmo in Grouchland. I have to admit I was not sure what I was going to see. I remember growing up watching Sesame Street, so I guess I was looking to see a long episode. What I saw was a pretty cute...

Pros: Good spirits, bright colors, entertains the kids.
Cons: Too benign for most adults.

Everyone who's grown up in front of a television during the last 30
years has memories of SESAME STREET--but not just any type of
memories: fond memories. So it's hard to bear any ill will toward the
warm and cuddly THE ADVENTURES OF ELMO...

Pros: Has a positive and fun message.
Cons: Lack of Classic Muppet exposure

Well, he may not be a favorite among the adult population. But ask any three-year-old and I bet he can tell you who their favorite little red monster is. That’s right, Elmo is bigger than ever. In fact, he’s so big, he’s found his way to the big screen....

Pros: Great for short attention spans and little kids
Cons: A bit silly for older kids, perhaps.

Ever try to take your little kids to the theatre and keep them quiet so as not to disturb everyone else? Don't worry about it here. Bert and Ernie actually encourage it! That was great for our 19 month old, who likes about 5 minutes of anything, if...

Pros: finally get to go inside the trashcan! Great Music too.
Cons: sharing lesson may be over done

The opening scenes of the movie show Elmo playing with and caring for his beloved blanket. In a tussle with Zoe over the blanket, he loses it to Oscar, who throws it in his trash can. Elmo, heedless of any warnings, jumps headlong into the can and into...

Pros: Mandy Patinkin
Cons: The Annoying Lead Character

There is a fine line in which films like The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland are aimed too young for certain audience members. I think that I have actually met that point in life. Sure I'll be the first to jump at a great animated film (as seen by my...
