Customer Reviews of The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
Wrong Message Gets Across 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!
Together Forever
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."
two yr old loves this!
My two year old cannot get enough of this movie. She loves the songs and all the characters. This is the second movie she has shown this much intersest in other than Shrek. It is a thumbs up.
