Elmo's World - Families, Mail & Bath Time

I think all babies LOVE elmo, my daughter loves the la la la la song and can watch elmo the whole day if i let her, she learned to say elmo at 17 months...and now she is trying to say Noodle...for Mr.Noodle...with that said all elmo movies are A+ in this home :)

I found this DVD to be rather entertaining and educational. I (26-year-old father) bought it for my 18-month-old. Here's my take on different points:Quality: The video and audio quality are both very good. Although, I found the crayon-drawn set and overuse of computer effects to be too excessive, and rather annoying. I'm not sure how this is viewed through the eyes of a toddler though.Age Appropriateness: I think the video is better suited for children 2 1/2 and up. My son will likely have to grow into this video. For kids two and under, I HIGHLY suggest "The Best of Elmo" and "Cookie Monster's Best Bites", both of which my son (and we as parents) love.Educational Value: I believe that an older child (3yrs & up) will benefit from this much more than a toddler. There are good lessons to be learned, but they are over the head of infants and young toddlers.Entertainment: The video was rather amusing, but not as engaging for our 1 1/2 year-old as the aforementioned recommendations. We as adults didn't find the video very amusing, but ages 3-6 would I'm sure.Now, to address the issue of previous fascist statements. First, the only "inclusion" of homosexuality is a 2-second snippet showing two men and a young child eating ice cream. There is nothing at all saying that these men are gay and are both the "fathers" of the child. Sure, if you go by stereotypes, they appeared as though they were likely gay, but the video confirmed nothing. The guys could have been best friends eating ice cream with the child of one of the men while the wife was shopping. I've been with a friend before when he was babysitting his son in a public place...if we appeared gay, those that were perceiving such need to find something better to do with their time.The same people that had a problem with the alleged homosexual reference may have also had a problem with the interracial couples. If you are one of these people, the video is NOT for you. You'd be better off locking your child in the basement, cutting off all forms of outside communication, and showing him Nazi propoganda. That way, your little extremist can be 100% brainwashed and ready to commit hate crimes when unleashed. Grow up.

My boys love Elmo's world. When they hear the theme song my baby does a little dance, and when he sees Mr Noodles he jumps for joy. The family portion taught my 4 yr old how important family is, and bath time showed my 10 mtg old to love the bathtime.

We watched this a hundred times with the babies and toddlers, the kids just loved it and couldn't get enough. Luckily Sesame Street is made with parents in mind, and I must say we enjoyed watching it many times too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Years of use!

It’s good

My ASD son watched this over and over. Wish it was longer for my own sanity.

My little granddaughter loves anything Elmo! This was purchased as part of a birthday present as she turned two. The content is perfect for age. She just loves it.

I'll have to admit I don't really sit through these DVDs, just pop them in when I'm trying to entertain my grandson and it's too late or cold to go outside. He seems to enjoy them and Elmo has always been a safe choice.
