Customer Reviews of Elmo Saves Christmas
too long and not up to par The one thing our kids remember from this was that Elmo broke his snowglobe. And now every single one we're given gets smashed with them saying "Wish Wish Wish ". Cute storyline turns tedious as Elmo and Lightning(the reindeer) travel through time to see Christmas every day. And Santa quits! If you like Elmo, get "Cinderelmo"(Cinderella story). Want a Holiday video, then get Disney Sing-alongs, "Prancer"(not a cartoon, but a wonderful magical story of a hurt reindeer) or "The Snowman"(from the book of same name.) This is "Elmo in Grouchland"-type poor quality Sesame Street.
good when i was little
I loved this movie! when I was up to 7 now Im ten and it warms my heart seeing other kids watching it.And now I can say I hope tey are enjoying it i sure did!
Our Daughter's Favorite "Elmo" DVD
Our daughter has been watching Sesame Street and Elmo's World since she was three months old. She is hooked so bad that the last time we purchased an "Elmo" dvd for her, she would not let it go for hours. This title is the only one that captures her attention, uninterrupted, from beginning to end. I grew up watching Sesame Street so it's just as enjoyable to me -- cookie monster and grover was the "elmo" of my time.
I've read some reviews about this title regarding it being depressing, Santa being a grouch and Elmo being selfish (if you think that's bad, check out his behavior at the beginning of "Elmo in Grouchland") but I believe it has a good message about Christmas. What child doesn't wish for Christmas everyday?
My current running count of viewings of this title is about 24 so check out these "got nothing better to do" tidbits:
- "Forget about it" is said four times. Once by Santa, once by Grover's Christmas tree customer and twice by Santa's tall, dark-haired and bearded elf.
- Why can't Elmo say "Feliz Navidad" back to Rosita after she says it to him? Elmo sounds as though he's about to say it but stops after saying "Feliz..."
- During the final song right before Big Bird and Snuffy enter the frame, the camera is zooming out to a wide shot of everyone standing in front of the decorated Christmas tree, you'll see a boy standing on the green steps, turn his head towards the older person behind him. Then that older person slaps him in the back of the head!
I disliked the use of XMAS instead of CHRISTMAS for the Daily Mews headline "XMAS AGAIN! -- it's just me; I've always hated XMAS -- it's laziness. I also didn't particularly care for Harvey Fierstein's gay Easter Bunny number.
Overall, it is highly recommended by our daughter. The count rocks!!! and counts!
