Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is amazing. The clever ways of making music (mostly percussive) with everyday objects made for such entertaining viewing, and of course STOMP is always a treat to watch.
The main problem with this DVD is that it is TOO SHORT. Sure, it is 40 minutes but it was so interesting and entertaining for us and our 18-month old that we wanted more. We only watch a few minutes of TV with her at one time but with this one we were tempted to sit and watch number after number. (OK, we didn't, but we were tempted to.) After she went to bed we watched it from beginning to end. The tuba bit with Bert in the park is so good we watched it twice.
Another nice thing about this DVD is that there is no annoying unskippable "advertising" at the beginning as so many Sesame Street DVDs seem to have. For that reason I usually buy VHS unless a reviewer says you can go right to the menu from the beginning.
Strangely, it seems that if one of the sketches is from the original Sesame Street, then the date of publication is listed as 1969. Most of this DVD was new material. As other reviewers have mentioned, the animated number pinball sketch was here, in a bit more organized fashion (only one number) than it appears on The Street We Live On. That said, the new numbers are well chosen. The only one I was a bit bored by was the girls and their playground "grandma's sick in bed" routine, and that was only because in teaching the younger child how to do it they repeated it several times. But doing this allows for the audience to give it a try, so perhaps that's the point.
Overall this is one of the best Sesame Street videos I have seen, and I have been looking for good ones for a while. The intro song done by two members of Stomp is almost worth the price alone.
