Welcome to Grouchland, U.S.A., place of a thousand stenches. This is where everyone's favorite red monster winds up when he stars in his first feature film, The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. Elmo learns a lesson when he refuses to share his blanket with his best friend, Zoe, then loses it in Oscar's can, where it goes all the way to Grouchland. There the beloved blanket winds up in the clutches of the greediest man alive, Huxley (played by Mandy Patinkin), and Elmo has to venture alone to Huxley's lair to get it back. The Sesame Street gang follows Elmo but ends up in the Grouchland jail. Fortunately, whenever things start looking too bleak, our hosts Ernie and Bert stop the film and offer reassurance. There are also numerous opportunities for audience participation (canned kids' voices will prevent parents from feeling too silly when viewing at home). This 73-minute film has plenty to entertain the youngsters as well as details and inside jokes for parents. And of course there are marvelous animated effects--although seeing Elmo dance in 1999 isn't quite as remarkable as it was to see Kermit ride a bicycle in 1977's The Muppet Movie. The songs are fun and bouncy, and veteran performers Patinkin and Vanessa Williams (as the Queen of Trash) contribute their exceptional talent. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland was conceived as a film kids could see in theaters; in the safe environs of home, it's good fun for anyone over the age of 2, or even younger in small doses. --David Horiuchi

Learning to share can be an adventure! August 12, 2008
Elmo learns about sharing and perseverance when his blanket gets swiped by the villainous Huxley in Grouchland. This DVD is great fun with plenty of little jokes to keep the parents entertained, too.

Elmo's World May 2, 2008
My 20 month old loves this movie. It's Elmo. Need I say more?
 Good opening song January 26, 2008
My son is 20 months and so far he is only interested in the first 10 minutes or so - the opening scene of Elmo in his bedroom and the song "Together Forever". He isn't interested in anything after the laundromat scene. But he really loves the first scene when Elmo leans forward and "sees" the audience and says hello. He will point at Elmo's blanket when he is looking for it. I think the "Together forever" song is cute and find myself humming it. Maybe when my son is older he will like the rest although some people think the "evil" parts might teach kids the wrong thing. But kids need to see what's bad and learn that its bad and how to deal with bad people.
