Elmo's Music Magic

Fun Music DVD for Sesame Street fans (young and old) with performances by Garth, Sugarland and even Diana Krall!
One thing that makes most Sesame Street productions - including the PBS version, now over 40 years old - is that it reaches viewers on two levels: The kids learn things (numbers, letters, counting) and the parents are treated to some great puns, satires and well-crated songs (thank you Joe Raposo!).

This 45-minute DVD is a delight and will keep adults entertained even on repeated viewings with their kids. (This from someone who has no kids.).

It revolves around Elmo findings a "magic wand" that when waved turns things in to music. If he waves it one way people sing instead of speaking and if he waves a different way voices get higher or lower, or faster or slower. There is little dialogue here but at least 14 clever songs are performed by both Muppet characters or "celebrity guests" from all genres. John Legend does "Sing a Song", Garth Brooks does a "silly" song and Sugarland and jazz singer Diana Krall get numbers too. Cookie Monster sings "Come Back Cookie"...

Cute!
I reccommend this dvd for any kids who are about to go on a long road trip. It is very edcational.

extremely boring
We were extremely disappointed with this purchase. Our 18-month old daughter LOVES The Best of Elmo 1 and 2. These DVDS are full of songs she can dance and sing to. This is mostly noise with little singing and very little Elmo. We turned it off after 15 long minutes, and will be donating it to Goodwill. Save your money and buy the Best of Elmo, especially 2!
