America's favorite slave to baked goods, Cookie Monster, is the star of this very funny collection of comic sketches culled from the insatiable Muppet's tenure on Sesame Street. From the opening scene--in which the wild-eyed Cookie yields to pure impulse and devours a cookbook (rather than wait for a pastry recipe to be fully realized in his kitchen)--the longtime Children's Television Workshop character never fails to entertain with his charming anarchy. Also on the program are classic Sesame Street songs "C Is for Cookie" (and its spinoff, "C Drives Me Crazy," featuring a guest appearance by the Fine Young Cannibals), "If Moon Were a Cookie," and the touching "What Is Friend?" The high point, however, is the gravel-voiced Cookie's scene with actress Annette Bening, who helps him sort out the difference between a "Cookie Here and There." Wonderful stuff for all ages. --Tom Keogh

A few "scary" scenes for a very young viewer.......2007-01-28

While my 15 month old son quite likes this DVD, there are two clips with a night time/dark background that we have to skip to avoid crying.

For Cookie Monster lovers!.......2006-11-27

My son isn't interested in all the muppets. I only LOVES Cookie Monster! If this is the case with your child, don't waste money on all the DVDs trying to get Cookie Monster glimpses... This one will be a success! :-) It teaches "Here and There" and "Fast and Slow", letter recognition, words that start with "C" and even sings a bedtime song and country "twang" at the end. My 16 month son will actually SIT and watch this video! It's really fun for us as parents too, because all muppet films have some "advanced" humor (i.e. "Medieval Cookie Torture) :-) I'd give it MORE stars if I could!

So Funny!.......2006-11-14

My two year old loves this DVD and I do too. I find it really funny and my two year old jumps around and sings all of the songs. You will enjoy watching this with your little one.

just great.......2006-08-14

My son just loves this movie. he don't want to see any other movie since i've brought this one. this movie is a number one at our house.

Vive le Monster!.......2006-08-08

I find this DVD rather mediocre, too brief and even a little annoying. Cookie Monster has had better appearances, the DVD runs a scant thirty minutes and there is a video for one song in which Cookie Monster does not even appear. My two-year old son, however, loves it and watches it repeatedly. Since he is the intended audience, I give it four stars. He doesn't scrutinize the quality of the skits the way I do and anything more than thirty minutes would challenge his attention span. In addition to the obvious inclusion of "C is For Cookie," the DVD also includes a fantasy about the moon being a giant cookie, sharing cookies with friends, bidding adieu to a beloved cookie and a skit with Annette Bening. As one would expect with content from Sesame Street, the material is educational and teaches acceptance and social skills. It is brought together by a running skit, specifically created for this video, featuring Cookie Monster as a newly employed baker... with expected results. Caution should be exercised because anyone familiar with Cookie Monster already knows that your toddler will pick up poor eating habits, meaning stuffing cookies into their mouths and leaving crumbs all over. If you can live with that, this is worry-free entertainment and a good recommendation.
