Movie Reviews of Elmo Saves Christmas
Movie Review: Good Christmas Message
Summary: 5 Stars
This feature starts off with Maya Angelou reading a story to some of the monsters on Sesame Street during the holidays. Christmas is so much fun on Sesame Street that they wish Christmas could be every day. Maya then recounts the year that Elmo saved Christmas and almost destroyed everyone's Xmas spirit. Santa gets stuck in Elmo's chimney and when Elmo helps him out Santa gives him a magical snowglobe which will grant him 3 wishes. Elmo wishes for Christmas every day and soon comes to realize that too much of a good thing doesn't end up so good after all. Big Bird almost loses it waiting for his best friend Sunffy to return from Christmas at Grandma's....if Christmas would ever end. Santa's elves are in desperate need of a vacation, Santa's ready to retire and Grover has run out of Xmas trees to sell. Nothing's getting fixed since Maria's fix it shop is closed for the holidays and everyone gets tired of the whole Christmas routine pretty quickly. It definitely makes for some funny scenes and songs when we see Christmas on Easter and the 4th of July. Elmo finally decides Christmas would be better off left the way it was and he takes his sled and his reindeer back to the night he pulled Santa out of the chimney. He picks another toy as a reward and Christmas returns to its cherised one day status. In contrary to what some other reviewers feel, I think this story teaches us to appreciate the holidays and not take them for granted. The holidays are special because they only come once a year. If you're looking for a traditional Xmas tale with traditional Xmas songs then this isn't for you. It's good for a different perspective on the holiday and for some lighthearted fun. My daughter is 14 months old and has loved Elmo for quite a while now. She loves this episode and I've even caught her humming along with the truly infectious songs which I catch myself singing throughout the day. This video is a keeper and a great way to familiarize your children with Xmas before it gets here.Movie Review: Its a "Groundhog Day" for Christmas
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, my son and I have watched this this almost 365 times. He loves it! I love it because it shows the breakdown of society on Sesame Street, and its Christmas Again, everyday. See Big Bird, The Count, Maria, and Bob have a breakdown! See an upset Easter bunny trying to sell Easter eggs on Christmas. Grover sells the christmas trees into extintion. Nobody works and people and puppets wander Sesame Street. The Hooper store, Fix It Shop and Finders Keepers all go out of business, because of Elmo's wish for it be to Christmas everyday. Kinda like Groundhog Day but its Christmas everyday. I think it OK for the kids to see, but very funny for parents to see the puppets breakdown! See it and laugh!Movie Review: A NEW Christmas favorite!

My roommate and I both loved this one! Elmo is completely adorable (as usual) and the movie is much better than "Elmo In Grouchland". Contrary to other reviewers, I think the story is a perfect Christmas fable. It shows that Christmas remains a special day because it only comes once a year, yet also explains how to keep the SPIRIT of Christmas alive all year long. Elmo's dismay at realizing how his wish to make his friends happy went terribly awry is sweetly sad, and he still saves the day. "Wish, wish, wish, wish... blitzen!" IF you want a Christmas present for kids of all ages, this is it.Movie Review: Wonerful fun for us and our two year-old daughter
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, it's February now and "Elmo Saves Christmas" is still delighting our two year-old. She requests it often, saying, "Elmo Miss-mas" and we gladly comply since it's great fun for adults, too. The story holds up any time of year and the writing is up to the standard of the best Sesame Street creations--funny, smart, joyful, and sweet. The Muppets get great support from Charles Durning, Maya Angelou and others and the whole special has the feel of a genuine children's classic.Movie Review: A great DVD for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this DVD for our daughter last Christmas (2004). We have watched it so many times that all of us know the words to the songs. The songs are entertaining and the overall message of the DVD is great! Although our daughter has grown out of loving all things Elmo, this continues to be one of her favorite videos to watch...even when Christmas is far a way!
