Product Description

From Amazon.com

Yes, Virginia, there was a Sesame Street before the Age of Elmo. This 1993 collection highlights the role of music in the long-running series from Children's Television Workshop, and reminds us that such Jim Henson creations as Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, and Ernie and Bert were once part of a true ensemble of Muppet superstars. Nothing against Elmo, of course: kids adore him and he makes enough appearances in this anthology (including the show-stopping "Happy Tappin' with Elmo") to keep today's tykes happy. Also included is Ernie's classic "Rubber Duckie" (really, who doesn't know the words to that?), Oscar's anthemic "I Love Trash," you-know-who's "C Is for Cookie," and Big Bird's Big Finale, a rendition of "Sing" that includes the entire cast. There are 27 tunes in all, and they don't all involve singing puppets: Ladysmith Black Mambazo turns up for one track, and the "Sesame Street Jam Session" includes some actual playing of instruments. --Tom Keogh

This review is from: Sesame Street:25th Birthday Ce (DVD)

My 16 month old loves this DVD and quite frankly so do I. I am a huge Sesame fan and the songs just don't get boring for me or my little guy. Also, the fact that it isn't only 30 minutes is a huge bonus. I don't have to keep having to restart it. If you are a fan of Sesame, this DVD will be a great addition to your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute songs and not too much Elmo, Jun 12 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sesame Street:25th Birthday Ce (DVD)

I bought this video for my son because he couldn't get enough of another Sesame Street video (123 Count with Me). He really enjoys this one as well. This may be the best Sesame Street video out there so far. It has enough older clips and songs and includes newer characters as well - and it doesn't go overboard on the amount of Elmo. I can actually remember a lot of these songs from when I used to watch Sesame Street.

This is a good video for a child who likes songs and music. Not all of the Sesame Street videos have as much music and are more dialogue. Because there is more music it appeals to younger viewers more than some of the other videos out there (my son is 19 months old).

Enjoy!

This review is from: Sesame Street:25th Birthday Ce (DVD)

My 5 1/2 month old and I can't get enough of this DVD. The songs are so catchy and a lot of fun. My daughter has been hooked on this video from 4 months old and I know almost all the words already! My only negative comment would be that there is no menu for scene selection--no worry, just fast forward to your favourite songs! I highly recommend this DVD.
