Product Description

This is a Sesame Street Best of Elmo DVD. This Sesame Street Best of Elmo DVD is another exciting episode of Sesame Street with Elmo the star of the show! Also a visit from Whoopi Goldberg.

Amazon.com

The Sesame Street character has fun singing some catchy new songs (you and your toddler just might, too), explaining the difference between light and heavy, having a laugh over pictures and numbers, and sharing the screen with a good-natured Whoopi Goldberg and Julia Roberts. Of the various Elmo videos, this one really does have the choicest material and stands up to repeat viewings--a big plus with little ones. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews:

Not a favorite...........2007-06-27

At my house- this one isn't a favorite. I think the story line is too long for a toddler. They like action and this one doesn't give it. My DD loves the babies, dogs and farms one. We watch that over and over again, but this one just sits. Sorry Elmo!

Two thumbs up from an Elmo lover!.......2007-06-08

My 10 month old daughter LOVES this DVD. It's only 30 minutes long--perfect length for distracting her during a diaper/clothing change or keeping her busy while I cook dinner. She squeals when the FBI warning comes on at the beginning because she knows what's coming! Elmo's rap about the number 5 is a little annoying, but oh well...she loves it.

Great Video.......2007-06-06

This is a great video. My daughter loves it. I definitely recommend it.

My Son loves this DVD.......2007-06-05

My 19 month old son would wake up in the middle of the night and say Elmo TV and he wouldnt stop until we put it on. He would watch this show over and over and smile and laugh and he does the action also. I also enjoy watching it with him.

The Best of Elmo - Is It Really?.......2007-05-23

Although entertaining for the under 5 set, "The Best of Elmo" is reasonably dated and mostly shows clips of 'shaggy' Elmo prior to his haircut. This aside there are a plenty of songs for the little one to listen to and a guest appearance from Julia Roberts and Whoopi Goldberg.

Join Ernie at The Furry Arms Hotel for a musical lesson in just how useful counting can be. When Ernie finds and returns a misplaced key, he uses his knowledge of numbers to return the key to the correct guest. As Ernie begins to learn about the hotel business, he finds many common situations in which counting is essential. Throughout the 30-minute video, Ernie and his friends help children learn to count from 1 to 20 with such songs as the jazzy "That's How the Numbers Go," an original version of the Chorus Line show tune "One," and "Rap Song #11." Favorite Sesame Street characters Elmo and The Count are joined by new characters including Ding the Dinger, a furry fellow with a bell on his head, and Benny, the bellboy that responds to Ding the Dinger's dings. Children as young as 18 months will bounce happily along with the catchy tunes and 2-year-olds will be inspired to count aloud with Ernie. Kids up to age 5 will hone their counting skills and laugh at the increasingly frustrated Benny as he delivers everything from 1 bucket of ice to 15 stampeding elephants! If you're looking for a fun video that teaches counting skills, here it is. --Tami Horiuchi

Fabulous!.......2007-06-27

If you or your kids like Sesame Street, than this DVD is a must!
It's fun, creative, entertaining, and keeps your kids moving, dancing and counting!

We LOVE it!

its worth it.......2007-03-15

Its pretty good. It took a while for my son to watch more than 5mins but now i just go to the songs and he watches the dvd.It has really helped with his counting. He just turned 2 on feb.24th 2007. I would advise buying it if your kid is around his age for the counting part.

Excellent Developmental Tool.......2007-03-14

Purchased this for my Grandson who is 4 months old. He has watched it three times and is very fascinated with it even though the theme is too advanced for him. However, it will become a great learning tool in the near future. Sesame Street is the greatest.

Not very interesting and no Elmo!.......2007-03-08

This DVD was very advanced for my 18-month old. In Kids favorite Songs there is a lot of counting backwards from 10 to 1 which my kid loves too mimick (he still doesn't say much that can be understood) so I thought he would love this DVD. There is too much talking in the intro and it bores my kid as soon as it starts plus there is no Elmo. My kid loves Elmo and expects to see Elmo on Sesame Street. We are keeping this DVD for later when he is about 3 he might appreciate it then. Right now he has no interest in it whatsoever.

lots of "vintage" sesame street clips.......2007-02-12

It has a storyline that incorporates lots of little clips from Sesame Street during my childhood, along with newer ones exposing my child to numbers in a musical way.

Kids' Favorite Songs kicks off with a cackle-worthy parody of Bob Dylan doing "Old McDonald," and from there the groovy gags keep comin' 'round the mountain. Everywhere Elmo turns on Sesame Street monsters spontaneously burst into song, and all because they want him to feature their favorite tunes on his forthcoming radio countdown. For Telly, winnowing the hits to one is akin to Cookie Monster choosing between a macaroon and a figgie bar: at first he's sure that "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" lights his fire, but then he says bye-bye to a black sheep. The street heaves a collective sigh pavementward when word comes down that the countdown is strictly a numbers gig, no music involved. Only Sesame Street could weave well-loved musical numbers around a simple numbers lesson with such wacky pizzazz, making this a countdown that's no letdown for high-spirited parent-preschooler combos. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

My baby is having a great time!.......2007-06-08

My one year old son is often getting tired around 6.30pm. At that time of the day, he does not really want to play and gets frustrated very easily...but he LOVES watching this video! He is moving and kind of dancing when the songs play, he really enjoys it from the beginning to the end. He ends up in a good mood (and Mummy too as a consequence), ready to have diner with no fussing.

A High Quality Product.......2007-05-14

I purchased this for my 16-month-old grandson, and he just loves it. He is king of the short attention span, but he sits and watches the whole thing. As a teacher, I'm interested in the concepts taught, and this DVD does a nice job, but he just loves the action and the music. He recognizes the cover, and brings it to me to put in the DVD player for him.

too much talk.......2007-05-03

This is a good video and it teaches children to count from 10 to 1. My daugter likes it because of the singing but loses interest when they start "talking". She likes "Kids' Favorite Songs 2" better. Not so much talking and more singing.

One of our favorite Sesame Street epsodes.......2007-04-07

Very entertaining ! With all the other kid characters and shows out there Sesame Street is still one of our favorites for learning, fun and entertainment.

Fun for kids AND adults.......2007-04-07

We bought this for our son on his 2nd Birthday, because he had just fallen in love with Elmo. This is a GREAT movie, because we can sing and dance together. His favorite parts are the Count's and Snuffy's songs, but I'm partial to Telly's problem of which song to pick as his favorite. These are classic children's songs that most parents will know. If you don't already, you surely will after a couple viewings of this DVD. My only question is... where did they find that recording of Bob Dylan doing Old MacDonald???

When Baby Bear must learn his alphabet in one day, Big Bird patiently takes him under his wing in Do the Alphabet. Only "The Method," (a hilarious combination of dance, song, visualization, and group therapy) can help Baby Bear on such short notice. The result is 40 minutes of ABC's Sesame Street style, where vibrant educational cartoons, enthusiastic kids, famous guest stars (here, Billy Joel), and harmonizing Muppets make lasting educational impressions. Children age 2 to 6 will enjoy the upbeat musical numbers dedicated to various letters; a favorite segment features the Boogie Woogie Piggies and their flashy rendition of the alphabet song. Throughout the well-paced show, Big Bird offers just the right blend of coaching and friendship, much like the ace support group leader he's mildly spoofing. Hats off to Sesame Street for helping Baby Bear--and his viewing audience--understand that learning takes time, patience, and a team effort. --Liane Thomas

My son LOVES this DVD.......2007-06-11

My son LOVES this DVD. He wants to watch it about 100 times a day! Personally, I think it is a very cute video. I remember some of the songs from when I was little. It is very entertaining and upbeat.

Great Learning Tool.......2007-03-14

Very nice but doesn't feature Elmo at all! .......2007-03-08

My kid loves Elmo so I usually get Sesame street DVDs for him to watch Elmo. It was a bit disappointing that Elmo doesn't feature in this one. But he does get glued to it all the same with all the singing and dancing. In terms of educational content and approach to teaching the alphabet to kids, I think it's excellent and is quite entertaining too. The Alphabet support group idea adds a nice touch which I doubt my kid would understand now but had me laughing to bits the first time I watched it.

My grandson loves it!.......2007-01-11

I bought this for my grandson, who is just getting interested in Sesame Street and letters. He went on a 9-hour drive for our Thanksgiving visit and his parents report that he was very entertained by it.

AAA rating.......2007-01-11

I bought this DVD for my son when he was 15 months. I had been trying to teach him the alphabet & he was doing good. This DVD is great!!! By the time my son was 22 months he could not only recite the alphabet, he could actually recognize each letter randomly. I love it. Both my boys love it. They broke our first one by accident and I had to buy another one the very next day.

Yes, Virginia, there was a Sesame Street before the Age of Elmo. This 1993 collection highlights the role of music in the long-running series from Children's Television Workshop, and reminds us that such Jim Henson creations as Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, and Ernie and Bert were once part of a true ensemble of Muppet superstars. Nothing against Elmo, of course: kids adore him and he makes enough appearances in this anthology (including the show-stopping "Happy Tappin' with Elmo") to keep today's tykes happy. Also included is Ernie's classic "Rubber Duckie" (really, who doesn't know the words to that?), Oscar's anthemic "I Love Trash," you-know-who's "C Is for Cookie," and Big Bird's Big Finale, a rendition of "Sing" that includes the entire cast. There are 27 tunes in all, and they don't all involve singing puppets: Ladysmith Black Mambazo turns up for one track, and the "Sesame Street Jam Session" includes some actual playing of instruments. --Tom Keogh

Captivates my daughter - and makes me laugh!.......2007-06-13

I think this collection is wonderful - my daughter LOVES watching it - she is captivated when it's on. I have tried other shows, like baby einstein, Barney, disney, and so on - but nothing gets her attention the way Sesame Street does. I love it because it gives me a few minutes a day to do things around the house - like fold laundry, make bottles, do dishes, pay bills etc, etc. A MUST have, in my opinion!

My toddler loves this video........2007-05-25

My toddler absolutely loves this video - from beginning to end, he's usually watching with a smile or playing and watching at the same time. Either way, the songs are a huge hit with him. And from a parent's perspective, plenty of stuff I remember enjoying as a child! (My hubby, too.) It's a good mix of songs, enjoyable to watch even as an adult. Definitely a video worth having.

Best Sesame yet.......2007-04-02

I try to limit the amount of television my 18 month old watches. I have been less impressed with many of the Sesame Street videos, but this one is FABULOUS! Educational, music filled, cultural, and fun! I couldnt recommend this DVD more for 'real' Sesame fans. And most importantly it isnt over run by the Elmo craze.

25th Birthday Musical Celebration.......2007-03-09

My 16 month old grandaughter LOVES this one, She dances through the hour long tape. She will watch this one over and over and over ect.

Entertaining.......2007-03-09

Our daughter is addicted to Elmo's World, so when I saw this DVD, I ordered it with the hopes that it would entertain her and keep us from going Elmo crazy. She loves this DVD and we all watch it together. The songs are very catchy and it keeps her attention for the times we need five minutes

After making her name in The Princess Diaries, Anne Hathaway takes a radical detour with this edgy independent drama. As Allie, a wealthy gangsta wannabe, she makes no excuses for her delinquent behavior: "We're just teenagers and we're bored." When her Pacific Palisades posse, including pal Emily (Bully's Bijou Phillips), starts hanging out with a Latino gang (including Six Feet Under's Freddy Rodríguez), they learn what thug life is really about. Hathaway couldn't be more game: She swears, she fights--she disrobes (several times). Written and directed by Oscar winners Stephen Gaghan (Traffic) and Barbara Kopple (American Dream), Havoc plays like a B movie, in the vein of the superior crazy/beautiful, and was released straight to video. For Hathaway fans, it's a chance to see this young talent in a very different light, but for Gaghan and Kopple followers, this lurid morality tale is sure to come as a letdown. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Description

A group of wealthy Los Angeles teenagers try to become part of the "gangsta" lifestyle but soon run into trouble when they come face to face with a real gang of Latino drug dealers.

havoc.......2007-07-07

hi guys the movie havoc i myself liked the movie.i like anne hathaway and to be honest i dont mind her being nude in the movie.but anne can act the movie aint disney but anne is grown up and this is a movie that shows anne as an adult.the movie is gritty,it has drug use violence.and nudity anne can handle adult movies roles. so for the older anne hathaway fans who want to check out the adult anne check out the movie.so if you buy the film purchase the unrated version more bang for you buck plus more anne.duane

Havoc.......2007-07-05

Havoc was a pretty good movie. It depicts a fairly accurate picture between real thugs and fake ones. It also shows how teenagers curiosity can get them into serious trouble. Only problem with the movie is the directors inept ending.

Two stars at the most!.......2007-06-30

One night, rather bored and lazy, I happened across the film and decided to watch it. Later in the week, I watched it again. It wasn't because the movie was great (believe me, it wasn't), not because the acting was inspired (average at best, insipid at times), and certainly not because Anne Hathaway decided to appear topless (whopee-big-deal, another young actress willing to show her lack of common sense). No, I just couldn't figure out what I was missing that made some people rave about this movie. Guess what, I still don't get it. A previous reviewer said it was a "well-meaning movie." I guess that's true but unfortunately, it failed it whatever it was trying to mean.

The plot is curiously the opposite of Hathaway's movie The Princess Diaries (Special Edition). Here we see a rich & spoiled girl with disinterested parents trying to submerge herself into the Latino gang experience. I guess that must have been the attraction for Hathaway, making a film as far away as her squeaky-clean image as possible. Nothing wrong with that but she might have picked a movie that wouldn't have to have used her toplessness as their main marketing point. In other words, pick a movie that would be worth it.

Not that it didn't have its moments. One of the most interesting characters was the teen (sorry, can't remember his name) who was making a film about all the happenings with the "cool crowd". Some of his insights on the character of each person were actually quite good. His comment to Hathaway's character about being one of the loneliest people he knows really brought forth the whole point of the movie. But it was just too little, too late.

Overall, I would say pass on this movie. The plot is anemic, the acting not much better than a high school play, and all the stereotypes it plays off of just makes it all seem too contrived. Thumbs down and Ebert and Roper would say.

ooh, la, la, la bamba meets the 21 Jump Street episode wherein Johnny Depp in hair net and khakis says "Orale!" constantly.......2007-06-29

Ritchie Valens from the wrong side - the CHICANO side of LA meets a pretty privileged white chick and they fall madly in love and he writes a song about how precious his Lady in White is to him. The spirit of La Bamba permeates this film insofar as we are supposed to understand how Anne Hathaway genuinely "shares a moment" for her Ritchie Valens. I have no idea what the characters' names are in this movie but everyone is familiar. Laura San Giacomo is in it, Reese from Terminator is in it, boy from Third Rock From the Sun and busty loosey goosey teen is played again by no longer a teen Bijou Phillips. I thank them all for doing this public service announcement about treating thug life as a consumer product.

I feel so sorry for that young looking Hispanic actor who had to play the Ritchie Valens part in this movie complete with the big man walk. I think he even did that cigarette drag and unplug that shows you are tough. If the characters had been permitted to have a real romance, we would have been favored with close ups of tears standing in his eyes and the line in his cheek from biting down on his back teeth during moments of romantic misunderstanding. This movie also has the 40-something year old actor who played the surviving marine in Clear and Present Danger. Unfortunately, Esai Morales is too busy doing phone card commercials on Spanish television to participate in this amazing film.

Obviously, the Socs from Pacific Palisades can't take on Sabor Latino so I think a sequel/crossover is called for where the Socs bring in the Southies from Good Will Hunting.

p.s. Anne Hathaway raps or sings some gangsta moll song early in the movie. She does a lot of acting with her eyes in this movie resembling a pretty fit Liza Minnelli and is the main reason that this movie is not terrible. It's not too heavy or embarassing or violent to be "important" and therefore unwatchable. This movie is a needed postscript to Clueless and 90210 because it is effective in a way that typical rich kids are decadent and too fast for their own good movies such as Cruel Intentions can't get past nubile prettiness, expensive clothes and real estate for the audience to understand that their situation is terrible and wrong.

Sesame Street's cheerful redhead chuckles his way through this delightful 50-minute compilation of three favorite "Elmo's World" episodes. First come the babies: real babies, Muppet babies, and animal babies. With help from Mister Noodle, a cast of Muppets, and video vignettes featuring humans, Elmo discovers what babies can do and how to play with them. Next come the dogs. Once again, Elmo's on the move--this time to share important tips about respecting the family pet. The final episode examines life on the farm. Viewers will observe youngsters accomplishing daily farm chores as well as Muppet farmers and barn animals punning around. As Elmo bops around his house (simply drawn and "furnished" with color crayon sketches), he chats with Dorothy the pet goldfish, poses questions to Mister Noodle, and tunes in to his friendly television for helpful cartoons presented by "The Baby Channel," "The Dog Channel," and of course, "The Farm Channel." Educational and entertaining for the younger crowd, each segment explores its topic using a variety of creative, quick-paced methods, enhanced by an upbeat soundtrack. (Ages 3 to 6) --Liane Thomas

Big winner for the little one.......2007-07-04

My little one is ga ga for Elmo and this gives it up in spades. She really likes this one and it's perfect for someone her age-around 15months.

I've seen it 100 times already.......2007-06-27

My DD loves this one. The stories are short enough so that the child doesn't get bored...but long enough to teach them something. I would pay double for this one- She loves it that much.

Can't lose with Elmo!.......2007-06-26

My 2 year-old son loves almost anything Elmo, so this was a no-brainer. This was the first Elmo's World DVD I bought for him, because he loves dogs and farms. It turns out, though, that the baby segment is his favorite. We like to sing along with "Old MacDonald." Now that we have Tivo, I could have just recorded the last 20 minutes of Sesame Street every day, but this DVD was a nice addition to our library.

3 Baby Favorites!!!.......2007-03-27

This DVD has my daughters 3 favorite subjects, Babies, Dogs and Farm. My 1 year old wakes up every morning and sits on her Zebra, points to the TV, and says "bow wow wow wow" which mean "I want to watch Elmo's World about Dogs"

She likes all three episodes but the Dogs stick out for her because she has seen (and been afraid of) real dogs)

Not my first choice.......2007-02-07

My 20 month old son will tolerate this video if we put it in, but it isn't one of his favorites. I'm not a big fan of videos where the characters baby talk. I realize that's kind of Elmo's trademark, but Elmo is a bit of a "mush mouth" in this particular video. There are lots of times when my husband and I can't figure out what Elmo has just said. If your looking for a Sesame Street video, I'd pass on this one and go for "Kids Favorite Songs". My son loves it!

Also, my son LOVES elmo, so if Elmo says to get dressed, he gets dressed. It is in three Elmo's world episodes, so you can watch one or all three. Great to add to your collection!

A film adaptation of Dito Montiel's memoir of the same name, A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints is a compelling, thoughtful movie based on Montiel's childhood growing up in 1980s Queens. A writer and director who understands his limitations, Montiel wisely left the acting to the pros. Shia LaBeouf (Holes) plays him during his adolescence, while Robert Downey Jr. (Good Night, and Good Luck, Wonder Boys) portrays the grown-up Dito. Never mind that there is absolutely no physical resemblance between the two actors; LaBeouf and Downey are so convincing in their roles it doesn't matter. Switching effortlessly from present day (where Dito is a successful author) to the past (where he is a tough little kid trying to figure out if there is life beyond New York), A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints tackles Dito's complicated relationship with his parents (Chazz Palminteri and Dianne Wiest), as well as the friends he left behind. Eric Roberts is magnificent in a small role as one of Dito's tough, childhood buddies. His powerful performance makes viewers remember there was a time when Roberts was better known for his acting skills than for being Julia's big brother. Montiel--a first-time filmmaker--won the Director's Award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival for his autobiographical movie. Raw, gritty, and honest, Saints) makes a strong impact and leaves the viewer curious as to how the rest of Montiel's life will work out. --Jae-Ha Kim

More like a handbill than a guide..........2007-06-20

Dito, the teenage main character, wants to escape from his neighborhood, which is colorful but depressing and lacking in opportunity. His family and friends don't want him to leave, and exert maximum guilt to try to get him to stay. They basically want him to spend his whole life sitting on the front stoop. The narrative drama is the tension between his desire for escape and the stranglehold of the old neighborhood. And that's the entire plot of the film right there. Worse, due to a flashback sub-plot with Robert Downey, Jr. portraying the older Dito, we know all along that he does escape the neighborhood. So even that bit of dramatic suspense is tossed out from the very opening of the film. Sure, there's some local color mixed in, but it isn't nearly enough to sustain the whole work. And there are some showy cinematic techniques that do nothing to advance the narrative and seem out of place. The characters were underdeveloped and the whole film seems very half-baked.

Excellent story telling..........2007-05-13

Although this film was written and directed by the person it portrayed, it is still a work of genius. The cast, the soundtrack, the cinematography were all perfectly worked into the film. Yes this movie shows us how rough childhood is for some people, but it also shows that hope and the friendships we make will carry us through any burden. Hands down, the best movie I saw or will see this year.

A Guide to recognizing you hooribale Movie.......2007-04-30

This movie sucked if i wanted to be depressed i would of just went shopping, there nothing more depressing than not haveing money to shop with, don't get me wrong this is probably the most derpressing movie i saw. nothing happy end up in this film. Although Shia LeBaouef Did a pretty good job, but other than that the movie's a waste of time.

bring back old school Astoria.......2007-04-18

This movie is great, It's nice to see so much of my childhood in it, I wish Astoria was still like this so all the yuppies, hipsters, & art geeks could get their faces smashed in every day

Trip down memory lane.......2007-04-18

This is a heart-gripping story of a writer going back into his tumultuous childhood in a rough Astoria-Queens neighborhood in the 1980's. When Dito returns home to try to help his ailing, estranged father, it stirs up a mix of memories surrounding friends, bullies, old girlfriends and loyalties. He's forced to face his feelings with his father and an old friend who ended up in prison. He also relives the death of a friend from Scotland who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I loved the story and the music brought up fond memories from my own childhood.

Big Bird and Telly Monster lead young viewers through the alphabet, letter by letter, in a magical and imaginative half-hour discovery of letters and their sounds. The perfect tape for young Sesame Street fans who are just beginning to get the hang of what letters are all about, it includes short skits, songs, and other bits of business--some original, some culled from the Sesame Street show--featuring a variety of Muppet characters as well as the human residents of that famously educational thoroughfare. --Marshall Fine

My son loves this classic.......2007-05-23

He just can't stop watching... and singing "C is for cookie thats good enough for me, C is for Cookie thats good enough for me, C is for cookie thats good enough for me, Cookie - Cookie - Cookie starts with C".

The classic Sesame Street characters you know an love. And catchy songs too. Oh and it is educational.

Learning can be fun and easy.......2007-05-12

My granddaughter who is 22 months old recognized Big Bird (aka: big bo) on the dvd case immediately and could not wait to have it played. She interacts with the Sesame Street characters as she watches, and is always wanting to practice her ABC's with her parents and grandparents. This is from the earlier (1960's)Sesame Street productions, and I feel that it is even better than the newer dvds that are being produced. I feel its so important that children start early to appreciate that learning can be fun, and this dvd is a good tool in the learning process. My granddaughter gives it a big thumbs up (she hugs the dvd case, instead of actually doing a thumbs up...but it means the same). Great educational tool that is fun too.

Learning about letters...the old school way! .......2007-04-15

This video is chock full of "Old School" Sesame Street favorites to teach the alphabet including, Lena Horne singing with Fat Blue and some other Anything Muppets, the live action film where we find letters in everyday signs, and of course, "C is for Cookie." This video is copyrighted 1986, long, long before Elmo took over Sesame Street. Elmo doesn't appear anywhere in this video. Instead we see Telly, Big Bird, and Buster the Horse taking us through the alphabet. It all concludes by Luis reading a story called "King Peter the Persnickity." I absolutely loved it. Highly recommended for anyone with small children.

A favorite.......2007-02-17

I bought this for my son who was learning his letters from his books. He really enjoys it, shouting out the letters when he sees them on the screen. His favorite things are the clip where they go all over the city and find all the letters and the clip of the kind of Renaissance fair alphabet which he sings along with. I wish they would release more of the old sesame street videos to DVD.
