Movie Reviews of Elmo Saves Christmas
Movie Review: A holiday favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
We love this movie, it's a classic at our house every holiday!!Movie Review: Our Daughter's Favorite "Elmo" DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Our daughter has been watching Sesame Street and Elmo's World since she was three months old. She is hooked so bad that the last time we purchased an "Elmo" dvd for her, she would not let it go for hours. This title is the only one that captures her attention, uninterrupted, from beginning to end. I grew up watching Sesame Street so it's just as enjoyable to me -- cookie monster and grover was the "elmo" of my time.I've read some reviews about this title regarding it being depressing, Santa being a grouch and Elmo being selfish (if you think that's bad, check out his behavior at the beginning of "Elmo in Grouchland") but I believe it has a good message about Christmas. What child doesn't wish for Christmas everyday?
My current running count of viewings of this title is about 24 so check out these "got nothing better to do" tidbits:
- "Forget about it" is said four times. Once by Santa, once by Grover's Christmas tree customer and twice by Santa's tall, dark-haired and bearded elf.
- Why can't Elmo say "Feliz Navidad" back to Rosita after she says it to him? Elmo sounds as though he's about to say it but stops after saying "Feliz..."
- During the final song right before Big Bird and Snuffy enter the frame, the camera is zooming out to a wide shot of everyone standing in front of the decorated Christmas tree, you'll see a boy standing on the green steps, turn his head towards the older person behind him. Then that older person slaps him in the back of the head!
I disliked the use of XMAS instead of CHRISTMAS for the Daily Mews headline "XMAS AGAIN! -- it's just me; I've always hated XMAS -- it's laziness. I also didn't particularly care for Harvey Fierstein's gay Easter Bunny number.
Overall, it is highly recommended by our daughter. The count rocks!!! and counts!
Movie Review: Elmo Saves Christmas
Summary: 4 Stars
Oh no! Santa's stuck in the chimney! All of the noise coming from the fireplace wakes Elmo up, and suddenly, Elmo knows what he must do. With a great amount of courage, Elmo pulls Santa out. He has saved Christmas! As a reward, Santa offers Elmo the choice of a pink bear or a magical snow globe that gives you three wishes. Naturally, Elmo chooses the snow globe. Hmmm...what should Elmo wish for? A firetruck? A castle? No...Elmo wishes that it was Christmas every day! However, that's not such a good idea. The elves are baffled: they're suddenly working overtime! And even worse- Santa decides to retire! It's up to Elmo to save Christmas again, with the help of the time traveling reindeer, Lightning. Will he be able to do it?
I absolutely love this movie! It's a thrilling tale, starring our favorite little red monster, that teaches kids that too much of one thing is not good.
Movie Review: Great for kids, but I sure got sick of it!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fun story of how Elmo helps Santa down the chimney and gets a magic snow globe for his reward. The trouble is he wishes for Christmas every day. The story is about why Christmas is special and teaches kids that it's special, in part, because it's NOT every day. It's a cute story, but now that Christmas is over, my toddler isn't interested in seeing it any more and I'm not sure he'll still be interested next Christmas.
Great if your kids like Elmo, even better if they don't care what season it is!
Movie Review: Good DVD.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an entertaining DVD. Four year old Elmo, is granted one wish. What would most children wish for on Christmas? You probably guessed, Elmo wishes for every day to be Christmas. Santa and his elves are exhausted and try to show Elmo that if every day is Christmas, Christmas is no longer special, it's just like evry other day. My 20-month old daughter likes this DVD, but not as much as Elmo's World - Happy Holidays.
