Movie Reviews of Elmopalooza!
Movie Review: Fun for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids (13 months and 4) really enjoy this video. My 4 year old knows all the songs by heart and performs them even when the movie isn't playing.
While not very educational, I don't rely on the TV to educate my children. That's my job and the job of my 4 yr. old's preschool. The creative aspect in my daughter singing the songs and making up her own dances more than makes up for the lack of "education" in the video. Education is found in the strangest places and doesn't have to be "in your face."
My 13 month old also loves the video. He dances to the music and in between takes a break because he really lets out some energy in his dancing!
This movie is also enjoyable for parents. There is some humor injected in it that will make you chuckle - not the kids. It's not "adult" humor, but humor an older child could understand or an adult. I really appreciate it!
If you're looking for this movie to teach your children their ABC's, move on. If you're just looking for plain old fun for kids of all ages, this movie is for you.
Movie Review: An outstanding DVD with lasting appeal for kids!
Summary: 5 Stars
I see a lot of ambivalence about this DVD, and I would like to put in my two cents in support of it. My two-year-old likes it a lot, and I think the songs and storyline are rich enough to hold his interest into the early elementary years. I consider it a great value for that reason.It is essentially a collection of kid-friendly music "videos" presented in the context of an accompanying storyline. Don't expect to see Elmo in every song, but he is central to the storyline and appears frequently between songs.
Parents will find this entertaining. The storyline is funny, the songs are enjoyable for all, and the production values are outstanding.
I confess, at first I feared my son would be bored by it because the storyline and music are a little more sophisticated than the usual singsong children's fare. But kids thrive on repetition, and after just a few viewings, he became familiar with the music. Now he asks for this DVD frequently, and I am always happy to oblige.
Movie Review: my 11 month old son loves this!
Summary: 5 Stars
okay so hubby and i bought a vcd of this when our son was less than a month old thinking it'd be fun to watch when he got older. when we previewed it, we found it boring for a baby. but we already bought it and couldn't exchange it for something else.
fast forward several months later. my son was 8 months old when his nanny started playing this whenever she has something else to do. and beleive it or not, my son just loved it! at first there were particular songs he loved like "Just Happy to Be Me" and "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon". After several repetitions he now loves this video and is willing to watch it several times a day if we let him. he just sits entranced in front of the tv whenever we play this and he is very familiar with the songs. In fact we are already in our second vcd since the first one got scratched and doesn't play anymore. i also sing some of the songs to calm him down when he's not in the mood. overall a very good buy!
Movie Review: Lastingly great.

I bought this for my grandson 14 years ago and it went along with 6 other grandkids. The trick is not to give it to them too early.That part didn't bother any of my kids , they didn't seem to even wonder about Elmo. But after all these years I myself am not sick of it and believe me a lot of them have had to go. The reason I am even writing this today is that I getting another one because one of my boys is autistic and he STILL watches it.He loves Jon Stewart as do I and I have been trying to find a cd that has the same Kenny Loggins songs as in Elmopalooza. Can anyone help there? Anyway it is a great investment if nothing else - after children there are grandchildren and then, oh boy, great grandchildren. If that's necessary - actually I've never met anyone any age that didn't think it hilarious.
Movie Review: My kids like music
Summary: 5 Stars
So this was a hit at my house. The 13mo old grooves and claps to most of the songs, and my 5yr old enjoys it too. The 5yr old follows the interim bits, and the baby doesn't need to be so glued. The older one started singing the songs around the house by the second watching. I don't mind the hearing the songs repeatedly in the background either. Rosie O'Donnell's song is the 5yr old's favorite (who's also been a big Jimmy Buffet fan and enjoyed seeing him,) and the baby goes nuts for the Fugees. This is my favorite Elmo simply by virtue of not leaving that awful "Elmo's World" song stuck on repeat in my head.... Elmo loves his goooldfish, his crayon toooo - Ack, I only had to think about it a second for it to happen. I might turn Elmopalooza back on.
