Welcome to Grouchland, U.S.A., place of a thousand stenches. This is where everyone's favorite red monster winds up when he stars in his first feature film, The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. Elmo learns a lesson when he refuses to share his blanket with his best friend, Zoe, then loses it in Oscar's can, where it goes all the way to Grouchland. There the beloved blanket winds up in the clutches of the greediest man alive, Huxley (played by Mandy Patinkin), and Elmo has to venture alone to Huxley's lair to get it back. The Sesame Street gang follows Elmo but ends up in the Grouchland jail. Fortunately, whenever things start looking too bleak, our hosts Ernie and Bert stop the film and offer reassurance. There are also numerous opportunities for audience participation (canned kids' voices will prevent parents from feeling too silly when viewing at home). This 73-minute film has plenty to entertain the youngsters as well as details and inside jokes for parents. And of course there are marvelous animated effects--although seeing Elmo dance in 1999 isn't quite as remarkable as it was to see Kermit ride a bicycle in 1977's The Muppet Movie. The songs are fun and bouncy, and veteran performers Patinkin and Vanessa Williams (as the Queen of Trash) contribute their exceptional talent. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland was conceived as a film kids could see in theaters; in the safe environs of home, it's good fun for anyone over the age of 2, or even younger in small doses. --David Horiuchi
Customer Reviews:
Two year old loves it - hard for parents to watch again and again.......2007-06-16
My daughter is a huge Elmo fan, and this was the first movie of any kind that she understood the basic plot line and got caught up in the story enough to sit through it. Basically, Elmo won't share his blanket, it ends up in Grouchland and he has a long adventure to get it back with the help of friends. Unfortunately the movie is hard to sit through as an adult - the music and dialogue become a bit annoying after several viewings. However, she loves it and it's fun to watch her get emotionally caught up in a movie for the first time.
Elmo Is Just Too Awesome :].......2007-06-12
The Adventures of Elmo in G rouchland
Elmo loves his blue blankey more than anything. But when it's tossed carelessly into Oscar's trashcan, Elmo takes a trip to Grouchland to get it back. After an unwanted tour of the city, evil Huxley (Mandy Patinkin) steals blankey and takes it to his mansion, it's up to Elmo to get it back. On the way to the top of the hill where Huxley's mansion is located Elmo sings with a plant, meets the Queen of Trash (Vanessa Williams) and faces a giant chicken. The Sesame Street gang shows up later to help Elmo reclaim what's rightfully his and return everything else to Grouchlands grouches.
I love this movie! Elmo is just too adorable to resist. With his cute, little, red-ness.
Vanessa Williams and Mandy Patinkin are great in this movie. Vanessa's role is a little small for her talent but she does a great job with it, anyway. They both sing and have some nice dialogue with Elmo.
All in all, The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland is an awesome film that can be enjoyable for all ages.
Interesting Facts About The Movie And Its Actors:
-Vanessa Williams was the world's first African-American Miss America
-Vanessa Williams was recorded to be living in Chappaqua NY in 2003
-Mandy Patinkin played Jason Gideon on Criminal Minds for 45 episodes
-The voice of Elmo, Kevin Clash, is also the voice of Pestie, the grouch jailer and the grouch cab driver (in the movie)
-Elmo in Grouchland was released in 1999
-In 2000 Elmo in Grouchland was nominated for a Young Artist Award in the category of Best Family Feature Film-Animated
Good movie........2007-05-01
I enjoyed this dvd more that my daughter did. She was 1 when we first watched it. It did not keep her attention. She prefers the Elmo dvds with a lot of singing and dancing. I still bring it out once and while and as she gets older, she pays more attention to it.
As always with a Sesame Street dvd, there are great lessons. I think this is a great movie for a three year old child or older.
Great Elmo movie, no clips from the tv show.......2007-03-29
My toddlers love this movie, we've been watching it since they were 1.5 years old, now they are close to 3. They like the fact that it's a real "movie" and not just rehashed bits of Sesame Street that we've seen dozens of times already (a la Elmo's World videos, and dozens of other Sesame Street DVDs). I like the fact that it's a contiguous story, like "Follow that Bird" - unlike Elmo's "Peter and the Wolf" movie, which is not bad but it switches between an audience listening to the orchestra and the Peter and the Wolf story. "Elmo in Grouchland" is very entertaining and has slightly scary bits and good sound effects too.
We had been borrowing it from the library but I just bought it at my local Target (San Francisco Bay Area) for $5.50.
Good show for kids and tolerant adults.......2007-03-21
Between my two children's young years, I've had to endure Elmo in Grouchland for 6 years now. After the 10th time, I was ready to accidentally lose the CD, but after perhaps the 300th time or so of hearing it, I can honestly say it is a good movie.
Many have complained about the bad messages this movie gives to young children (stealing toys, hurting feelings, spitting, etc) and it is true, there is stealing and hurt feelings. But unlike many movies that are geared toward children, Elmo in Grouchland does not have any portrayals of violence, sexual innuendos, or cheap-taste thrills. The audience is given the opportunity to see the natural consequences of stealing, not being a good friend, etc.
In fact, the main plot of the story is that Elmo learns the value of friendship and to share his blankey-- a message that is very clear throughout the movie.
The songs give messages of not giving up ("Take the First Step"), the value of friendship ("Elmo's Best Friend/ Together Forever"), and songs about seeing different points of view.
If you can handle listening to these songs once every week or two (or more for kids who watch TV more), then this is a very good CD.
