Movie DVDSesame Street‘s cheerful redhead chuckles his way through this delightful 50-minute compilation of three favorite “Elmo’s World” episodes. First come the babies: real babies, Muppet babies, and animal babies. With help from Mister Noodle, a cast of Muppets, and video vignettes featuring humans, Elmo discovers what babies can do and how to play with them. Next come the dogs. Once again, Elmo’s on the move–this time to share important tips about respecting the family pet. The final episode examines life on the farm. Viewers will observe youngsters accomplishing daily farm chores as well as Muppet farmers and barn animals punning around. As Elmo bops around his house (simply drawn and “furnished” with color crayon sketches), he chats with Dorothy the pet goldfish, poses questions to Mister Noodle, and tunes in to his friendly television for helpful cartoons presented by “The Baby Channel,” “The Dog Channel,” and of course, “The Farm Channel.” Educational and entertaining for the younger crowd, each segment explores its topic using a variety of creative, quick-paced methods, enhanced by an upbeat soundtrack. (Ages 3 to 6) –Liane Thomas

My 18 month old granddaughter has limited screen time and is not overly interested in TV but she loved this video! It is clever and fun to watch. We did not like the “cartoon” segment so much but the video is definitely worth the money and I would defintely buy it again.

hmmm. One would think that the makers of Sesame Street would know that breast is best, but, unfortunately, the video shows a bottle in almost every scene that it shows a baby! Not once does it show a baby nursing! Not even an animal baby! Even the animals are fed with bottles in the video! It makes bottlefeeding appear to be the norm (certainly NOT what I want to teach my child)! It also refers repeatedly to “babysitters.” I would never leave a baby with a “babysitter” and I certainly wouldn’t want to teach my child that babysitters are the norm either. Babies should be with their mothers wherever their mothers go! This video is not for anyone who is a breastfeeding, attached parent.

I bought this for my 18 month old who loves Barney, she had little interest in Elmo, Babies, Dogs and more. There is little singing and dancing and that is what she prefers. Barney changes pace from dancing to lesson teaching, it’s much better for young children.
Good luck.

This show absolutely drives me crazy. The cartoons are horrible, the annoying voice. My daughter pays attention to it for a while, but I think I’m going to get rid of this thing. It’s a jumbled mess of a show.
Also I think Mr. Noodle must be the director’s out of work father in law that needs some work to buy some booze. What place does he have on that show? Who thought that would be a good idea? It makes no sense.

I was hoping for a video that would teach my toddler how to treat my baby and dog. This video, while it’s cute, didn’t do that. It basically shows different types of babies and dogs.
