	The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland was the second theatrical feature-length film based on the characters of the children's television series Sesame Street (after 1985's Follow That Bird).
		Elmo loves his fuzzy, blue blanket, and would never let anything happen to it.
		Facing life without his cherished blanket, Elmo musters all of his determination and courage and heads off on an action-packed rescue mission that plunges him into Grouchland, a place full of grouchy creatures, stinky garbage, and the villainous Huxley.

	Reviews - The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
		Elmo is a Muppet, one of the loveable 'felt 'n' fuzz' creations from the late Jim Henson's 'Sesame Street', and while this movie doesn't have the sort of budget behind it as one of Kermit and Co's big films, what it does have, is a healthy dose of charm.
		Whilst in Grouchland, Elmo loses the blanket to the nasty and greedy Huxley, who flies through the air in his giant flying machine, The Huxocopter, sucking up everything that isn't nailed down-including Elmo's blanket.
		Elmo realizes that he was selfish not to have shared his blanket with Zoe, and sets off on an action-packed and fun-filled adventure to retrieve it.

	(DVD Review) The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
		Elmo and his fuzzy blue blanket are inseparable, they dance and sing together and Elmo never lets it out of his sight.
		When Elmo goes in to chase after it he is sucked into Grouchland, the land of Grouches (where garbage, lack of cooperation, and greed are king).
		Elmo sets out on the adventure of a lifetime where he runs into a giant chicken, the Queen of Trash (Vanessa Williams), and the cute and loveable Bug (even if he does work for the evil Huxley).

		Grouchland itself is a marvel, grouchy and yucky enough for its residents but colorful and not so scary for the kids.
		Elmo is the star of his first feature film, "The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland".

	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: THE ADVENTURES OF ELMO IN GROUCHLAND
		ELMO is a friendly little three-year-old monster who's a bit protective about his blanket, but proves his worth by facing many challenges to retrieve it from Huxley.
		Elmo takes a fun ride on an old mining car through a tunnel that could possibly be a little unsettling for the youngest of kids.
		After Elmo convinces the chicken that he's not a worm (the reason for the pecking), the fowl sends Elmo flying through the air where he lands in a tree and briefly hangs from a branch high above the ground.

		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.
		The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland was conceived as a film kids could see in the cinema; in the safe environs of home, it's good fun for anyone over the age of two, or even younger in small doses.
		Elmo asks the audience for help on several occasions, so parents should be prepared for having their kids yell out helpful words and sounds from time to time (FYI - I wouldn't recommend sitting directly in front of your children during the Queen of Trash sequence).

	FilmQuips -- ELMO IN GROUCHLAND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		But when he lands in Grouchland, a stinky city populated by many of Oscar's kind, he is horrified to find the blanket has been stolen by the extra-nasty Huxley (Patinkin).
		Even if I were a big Elmo fan, it would be easy to see that this production is not up to the high standards of the Henson films we have seen through the years.
		Elmo is technically up to the standards of Sesame Street, and it is clearly an example of that type of "family entertainment." It does have a good line every now and then, and Patinkin and Williams show adequate energy.

	'The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland' (G)
		And Elmo has a mighty fine adventure, too – a droll variation on "The Wizard of Oz," with neon-colored critters cavorting in whimsical settings and a ridiculous villain.
		Elmo (voice of Kevin Clash) sings a good-morning song to his beloved soft and cuddly blanket, then acts selfishly in a tug-of-war with Zoe, who wants to hold it.
		Elmo, who's a 3½-year-old monster, can't wait for Oscar to return, so he dives into the can and gets sucked into a psychedelic rainbow tunnel and hurtled into Grouchland.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Elmo in Grouchland
		The first thing you see in Elmo is the pair, directly addressing the audience -- a brilliant idea by screenwriters Mitchel Kriegman and Joseph Mazzarino, all of whom seem aware that kidlets have limited attention spans and love to bother their parents with questions throughout any movie they watch.
		Elmo is, after all, a li'l monster who communicates on a one to one basis with his audience.
		Elmo loves his blanket (didn't we all??) which seems to have a life of its own.

	Elmo In Grouchland \| The A.V. Club
		The latest product from Jim Henson Studios tells the story of Elmo, an unassuming, guileless red fellow who travels to a grouch-populated land in search of his beloved lost blanket, which has been stolen by a greedy tyrant (Mandy Patinkin) who rules Grouchland with an iron fist and a cold heart.
		Elmo In Grouchland has little of the anarchic wit or witty subversion that marks the studio's best work, and while there's potential for fish-out-of-water humor—the endlessly cheerful and upbeat Elmo is in the cranky and garbage-strewn world of Grouchland, after all—the film fails to take advantage of its comic possibilities.
		It's impossible to argue with the film's embrace of altruism and condemnation of greed, and children should enjoy its high spirits and handful of sharp bits, but sitting through Elmo In Grouchland should prove a chore for anyone over 10.

	The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland Movie Review at Hollywood Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The plot is simple enough for a two-year-old to grasp: fuzzy, friendly Muppet Elmo (performed by Kevin Clash) loves his baby blanket, but after a selfish squabble with his friend Zoe, it winds up falling down Oscar the Grouch's trashcan (Note: if you don't know who Oscar is, I really can't help you).
		Elmo follows his beloved blanket's descent into the dank netherworld of Grouchland, where garbage is beautiful and it is impolite to smile.
		Shortly after his "unwelcome," Elmo learns that Grouchland is under a kid-friendly reign of terror by the rapacious, bushy-browed human Huxley (Alien Nation's Mandy Patinkin).

	SCREEN IT! ARTISTIC REVIEW: THE ADVENTURES OF ELMO IN GROUCHLAND
		Although not a great, or for that matter much of any concern for most people, the staff of both Jim Henson Pictures (home of the Muppets) and the Children's Television Network (responsible for thirty years of "Sesame Street") may be a bit worried nowadays that their products might be becoming somewhat passé.
		A delightful little picture that should prove to be highly entertaining for youngsters and most, if not all of their parents, this is a great example of how to make live action entertainment geared for younger kids.
		Regarding the Sesame Street characters, including the relatively new Elmo, they're as enjoyable as ever and -- certain to make their human counterparts green with envy -- haven't aged a bit over the years.

		I chose Elmo, that red, furry, ticklish creature that was so popular a Christmas or two ago.

	'Elmo in Grouchland': That Special Blue B-L-A-N-K-E-T
		Bert and Ernie welcome everybody; Elmo wakes up in polka dot pajamas in his own adorable little-child's bedroom and sings a tribute to his comforting blue blanket; Elmo spills orange juice on his blanket; Elmo goes to the laundromat to wash it, and a lot of people and Muppets from "Sesame Street" are there.
		"The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland" stays great right through the scene in which Elmo chases his blanket, accidentally whisked away by a passing Muppet Rollerblader, down the street and tells the gathered crowd to move on.
		Elmo's quest is the faraway hilltop castle of Huxley (Mandy Patinkin), who has come into possession of the blanket and won't give it back.

		Elmo's journey begins when Oscar mistakes his friend's beloved blue blanket for a tissue, sneezes into it and tosses it into his trash can.
		Alas, the resident villain, Huxley (Mandy Patinkin, suitably silly in a scenery-chewing turn), steals Elmo's "wooby" – his word for the blanket – thus forcing the littlest Muppet on a perilous quest to retrieve it.
		Bert and Ernie, who introduce the movie and act as narrators, encourage the audience to sing along with the rousing musical numbers and to clap for Elmo – a la Tinker Bell – when the situation seems especially dire.

		Unfortunately, while Elmo cavorts about Sesame Street one day, his blanket is accidentally tossed down Oscar the Grouch's trash can, winding up first in Grouchland, then in the greedy hands of Mr.
		Thus Elmo goes on a "Wizard of Oz," "Alice in Wonderland"-style journey (he even meets a talking caterpillar, like in the latter story, though this one doesn't smoke hashish) on his way to Huxley's castle.
		There are maybe three jokes that are tossed in for the grownups (a movie marquee in Grouchland advertises "Sharon Groan" in "Basically It Stinks"), but the rest is for the kids.
