Movie Review: Elmo Saves Christmas
Summary: 3 Stars
My son really did not enjoy this dvd at all. I am hoping next year he may be more interested, but this dvd could not keep his interest at all. As an adult, I really did not enjoy the story at all.While I like to see a new twist on things, I thought it was kind of boring...Movie Review: Yikes! Rewind!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
My daughter loves Elmo and has for some time now and she is 2. He is definitely her fav character and we have several Elmo DVD's. Her favorites are Wild Wild West (loves to dance along with songs and likes cowboys now and says yeehaw). The other is Elmo in Grouchland (mostly the songs and she sings along sorta..).
KK, so I am glad I rented this one first before buying it because not only was it a major disappointment but it was a tremendous let down as well. I really wish I could pretend we never watched it and we only saw the first 15 or so minutes before I took it out and promptly returned it.
Now I cant speak for my two year old other than she really loves Santa Claus, I mean really loves him, but she was not interested in this movie at all and I don't feel like she liked the Santa clause in this movie.
Which leads me to why I did not like it at all and took it out and have given it one star. I felt like the Santa Claus was about the worst one I have ever seen in a movie. In fact, I really dislike his attitude and the way he treats his dog that wants to be a reindeer that is hiding in his bag. It all starts with Santa getting stuck in the chimney which for a two year old is probably confusing as it is.. why is he stuck? What if he gets stuck in our chimney,etc. Talk about a buzz kill, I really feel robed of the magic of Santa and Christmas by this show. The Santa actor made Santa out to feel like one of those drunk disheveled Santas. I feel like he was really rude to his dog too, not the loving kind and gentle Santa we know. For example the Santa in Polar Express, awesome Santa. The Santa in Flight Before Christmas, another awesome benevolent Santa. They add to the magic and show the warmth that you would expect not cheapen him like this one does. It's just the way he looks or talks, but the script that was written for him obviously. I'm really disappointed in this one. Hopefully the Xmas Countdown will be better. I'm just glad my daughter wasn't a little bit older, I think it would definitely create a poor impression of Santa on any child 3 or older as it did for us. My wife was in the room but was not watching it and she agreed. We're both rather young and 1337 parents as well so it's not a case of uptight atards either.
p.s. If you read over the other bad reviews you will see they all say the same two things.. Worst Elmo ever and Depressing and or very disappointing story line. Kinda says something when all the bad reviews strike the exact same chords. Oh and a few point out that at one point Santa quits. Really? Santa Claus would Quit his job and walk out because he cant take it? Does this sound like the kind of Santa you want your kids to believe in?
Movie Review: Skip this one, buy a different Elmo
Summary: 1 Stars
My two year old loves Elmo BUT this story is a dud. This is a joyless production with none of the zip, humor and heart found in many other Sesame Street videos and DVD's. The songs are just not good - Charles Durning mumbles a boring little number and Harvey Fierstein's "musical" number seems as if it was written five minutes before taping. Their is just no quality to any of this. The rest of the characters on Sesame Street becomes depressed because every day is Christmas and they cannot get on with the lives. I'm afraid their feelings are contagious. Buy Elmo in Grouchland - lots of story, good songs, humor and very cute.

Movie Review: WORST Christmas Video
Summary: 1 Stars
My 2 year old daughter hated this video & I don't blame her. It was depressing - there were too many repetitions of them singing this depressing song before they finally get to the end and are happy again. Just a horrible Christmas video - Don't buy it!
