One electrifying hour of Sesame Street music and magic commemorates its 35th anniversary in this collection of 17 classic songs paired with a star-studded guest list. Superhero Grover provides the thematic storyline for musical merriment as he embarks on a mission to discover the "one special song the world can sing together." It's a difficult task since everyone in the Sesame Street cast has an opinion. Beginning with the opening number, "Sing" (which gives cameos to Ben Stiller, Conan O'Brien, the Dixie Chicks, and more), the tunes come in rapid succession along with the usual bantering and balderdash of Kermit, Oscar, and the gang. There is no shortage of hilarity, whether watching Wayne Brady sing "Between" sandwiched in the middle of Big Bird and Snuffy; or Queen Latifah belt a rap rendition of "That's the Letter O." It is no wonder that Sesame Street remains timeless with such servings of exquisite entertainment targeted at youngsters yet enjoyed by all. (Ages 3 to 8) --Lynn Gibson

Sesame Street - What's the Name of That Song.......2007-03-25

My two year old loves this movie. We have a couple Sesame Street DVD and this is the best. And since I have to watch it also, it helps that I love it too!

Wonderful tape for kids!.......2007-01-10

I had a chance to see this DVD last year before I even became pregnant. My little cousin (2 yrs old) was viewing it and I fell in love with it-- especially after hearing Patti LaBelle's version of the ABC's! My son is now 8 weeks old and we were watching Sesame Street the other day when the episode aired with Patti singing. I immediately remembered the tape and after MUCH research, I've located and ordered the DVD for my infant. I am really looking forward to him hearing and seeing it!!!!

A Must Buy Sesame Street Video.......2007-01-05

We have numerous Sesame Street videos and this by far is the best one we've purchased. A great introduction to all of the characters, as well as the inclusion of old and new Sesame Street songs and skits. My two year old loves it, especially the Patti LaBelle alphabet song and Bert's Pigeon song. A great addition to kids' video collections.

Keeps my sons attention and loves all the songs and music........2006-12-19

My son truly loves this video and he has learned so much from it. It follows a story line throughout the DVD and has tons of songs and entertainment for my 17 month old. I also purchased the 25th anniversary DVD and he loved that one too. Now my son is obsessed with sesame street and I am actually very happy with how much he has learned from these DVD's. I suggest getting this video for you little one. I know it keeps my son entertained and occupied throughout the whole video.

I just can't get it out of my head!.......2006-08-14

"La de da de dum, la de da de dum...what's the name of that song"? Well, for sure, it is stuck in my head. My 2 year old just loves this dvd, and starts singing the title song whenever he wants to watch it, which, by the way, is daily. Or even several times a day even. Anyway, it is a delightful combination of new Sesame Street footage and older song tidbits like Bert singing and dancing "Doing the Pigeon". It starts out with Super Grover, Big Bird, and Elmo trying to find that "one favorite song" that the whole world can sing along, and they check with everyone along their path to find out what their favorite song is. If your child (or you) love music, you will not be dissappointed in this dvd. I know that I'm not.
