Movie Reviews of Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
Movie Review: Good, but not the best
Summary: 3 Stars
My twenty month old daughter really enjoys watching the Elmo's World dvds, but this one didn't quite hold her attention as well. As a parent, I also prefer some of the other Elmo videos. I didn't really like the blowing raspberries part, and I also didn't like how they used the word stupid in a preschool movie. I may be uptight, but those are things that I want to try avoid exposing my daughter to when she is just starting to talk. It was cute, though, and the music was catchy. The style of shooting is also very different if you are used to watching other Sesame Street videos, obviously because it is an acutal movie. Maybe it's one of those things that has to grow on you. We'll see. I'm sure I will be watching it over and over before long.
Summary of Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
Join Elmo in his biggest adventure yet! Co-starring Vanessa Williams and Mandy Patinkin. Elmo and his beloved blue blanket are inseparable. When Oscar carelessly tosses the fuzzy blanket into his trash can Elmo dives in after it. He is suddenly plunged into Grouchland the land of Grouches stinky garbage and the greedy Huxley (Mandy Patinkin) who hasn't learned how to share. Elmo and all his friends from Sesame Street embark on a fun-filled adventure with one mission: to rescue Elmo's blanket. On the way Elmo encounters a giant chicken and even the Queen of Trash (Vanessa Williams) herself! It's a grouch-loving good time filled with fun sensational songs and all of your favorite characters!System Requirements:Running Time: 72 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating:?G UPC:?043396041684 Manufacturer No:?04168Welcome 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
