Sesame Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sesame Street is an American educational children's television series for preschoolers and is a pioneer of the contemporary educational television standard, combining both education and entertainment. Sesame Street is produced in the United States by non-profit organization Sesame Workshop, formerly known as the Children's Television Workshop (CTW), founded by Joan Ganz Cooney and Ralph Rogers. Sesame Street uses a combination of puppets, animation, and live actors to teach young children the basics of reading (letter and word recognition), mathematics (numbers, addition and subtraction), as well as geometric forms, and classification. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sesame_Street   (6780 words)

TV Mutants Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny 'failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.' In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. dieoff.org /page22.htm   (1640 words)

The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland (1999) At least we can count on the good people of Sesame Street to deliver quality entertainment for our kids: The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland is tailor-made for small-fry with the same care, imagination, and subtle adult-friendly witticisms that have made the long-running children's program so successful. Huxley's passion is taking things that don't belong to him, and before you can say "A la peanut butter sandwiches," Elmo's blanket becomes Huxley's softest trophy. Surprisingly, Patinkin's Huxley is the flattest character in the film — he's upstaged by both his enormous eyebrows and his Muppet-bug henchmen in every scene. www.reel.com /movie.asp?MID=46120&buy=closed&Tab=reviews&CID=13   (485 words)

SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: THE ADVENTURES OF ELMO IN GROUCHLAND In the pleasant neighborhood bordering Sesame Street, Elmo (voice of KEVIN CLASH) is a friendly little three-year-old red "monster" who loves his comfy blanket, and will do anything to make people happy. When Huxley's flying machine first arrives and the residents of Grouchland run away, the youngest of kids might be a bit unnerved by this. Huxley's flying machine sucks up Grizzy against one of its sucking tubes and then drops her to the ground. www.screenit.com /movies/1999/the_adventures_of_elmo_in_grouchland.html   (1277 words)

Sesame Street DVDs Several characters, including Sesame Street favorites like Cookie Monster and Oscar, write back--and someone who signs their message, "Your Mystery Friend." Telly has no idea who this could be, so he joins up with Baby Bear and they follow the clues until the mystery is solved. Basically, this is a collection of songs from 30 years of Sesame Street, in which sweet Elmo and his Muppet pals are joined by David Alan Grier, Jon Stewart, Gloria Estefan, the Fugees, Shawn Colvin, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Soon Sesame Street's favorite ballerina is learning how to step with pep in a ballet warm-up, get the beat in her feet from an African drum, be grand with her hands in an Asian dance, and just have fun with Zoe's own Silly Willy Nilly dance. sesamestreetvideo.tripod.com /dvds.htm   (8633 words)

Sesame Workshop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Sesame Street research has learned that Sesame Street is more popular with two- and three-year-olds than ever before. Rosemarie Truglio, Ph.D., vice president for Sesame Street research, explains that Elmo presents a three-year-old's point of view of his world, and he uses the skill of asking questions to learn more about it. When the new Sesame Street begins on January 3, 2000, Elmo and friends will explore 10 new topics near and dear to kids hearts, including drawing, dogs, bananas, exercise, singing, farms, telephones, hair, babies, flowers and trees. www.sesameworkshop.org /aboutus/newsletter_article.php?contentId=73084   (1074 words)

`Elmo' Is Sure to Tickle Fans of `Sesame Street' In his latest big screen outing, the famed Muppet of ``Sesame Street'' loses his precious blanket, the one he promised he would always hug. It is full of that wonderful junky, clunky, huggable smartness that has made ``Sesame Street'' an enduring phenomenon. Huxley is played with maniacal good cheer by Mandy Patinkin, and his nutty performance is certainly a major reason to see the film. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/reviews/movies/ADVENTURESOFELMOINGROUCHLAND.DTL&type=printable   (341 words)

Sesame Street - Elmo Besides the songs from the movie, the Sesame Street gang sings (and words appear for the audience) pop tunes ("Sing") and classic songs from the show ("C is for Cookie (Cookie Monster)," "Rubber Ducky"). Basically, this is a collection of songs from 30 years of Sesame Street, in which sweet Elmo (Elmo) and his Muppet pals are joined by David Alan Grier, Jon Stewart, Gloria Estefan, the Fugees, Shawn Colvin, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Elmo (Elmo), the host of this vintage Sesame Street program, chats gaily while ushering in familiar guests Prairie Dawn, Ernie (Ernie) and Bert (Bert), and Grover during three 15-minute "chapters."

Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland DVD Review My twenty-four month old son was familiar with Elmo from "Elmo's World," the fifteen minute segments that air during "Sesame Street." When we originally played this for him around eighteen months, he wouldn't watch it. I really have no qualms about letting my children watch Sesame Street because I know they are in very capable hands. There seems to be less humor with this one than with other Sesame Street and Elmo productions, but that can be overlooked. www.dvdsense.com /item/0767839277   (607 words)

FILM REVIEW; That Very Special Blue B-L-A-N-K-E-T - New York Times And yes, Oscar is a ''Sesame Street'' favorite, but one grouch goes a long way; here we have an alternative universe of them. 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.

Letters: Should you tell your infant how to get to "Sesame Street"? - Salon A DVD like "Sesame Beginnings" is something that would be OK for young children to watch occasionally if the parents are taking this kind of middle ground approach to the boob tube. She also enjoys the "Here Comes the ABC's" DVD by They Might Be Giants, which is *absolutely* designed to bring parents into the viewing experience - TMBG is an alternative band which had a string of hits when I was younger and hipper.

'The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland' (G) Elmo knows he's not on Sesame street anymore when a beauty shop is an "ugly parlor," and "I Know I Grouch, Therefore I Am" are words of wisdom. Continuing the Wicked Witch parallel, Huxley has a cadre of bug and worm toadies who carry out his dirty tricks like the flying monkeys of old, and he spies on Elmo with a closed-circuit TV screen.

Bert and Ernie, Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird, and the whole Sesame Street crew are there in support, but this is Elmo's movie.

Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Elmo in Grouchland For those of us to whom the Muppets of Sesame Street (or otherwise) were our teevee pals growing up, and we're talking over 25 years of growing kidlets here, Elmo in Grouchland makes everything complete in the Sesame Street Universe. Unless something to the contrary has happened on Sesame Street (which I don't watch), Bert and Ernie were retired as active characters when Jim Henson died a number of years ago. Aided by Grizzy Grouch (Stephanie D'Abruzzo), Elmo must climb Mount Pickanose to Huxley's Castle, avoid a giant chicken and an "ultimate test" by the luscious Vanessa Williams as the Queen of the Dump. www.crankycritic.com /archive99/elmoingrouchland.htm   (788 words)

'The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland' (G) The little hero climbs in to get his blankie and is sucked through a tunnel into a topsy-turvy country where stinky stuff smells good and garbage is more precious than, um, the last Tickle Me Elmo doll a couple of Christmases ago. 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. With help from his kooky minions, the Pesties, Huxley manages to throw Elmo off the track again and again. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/style/movies/reviews/adventuresofelmoingrouchlandkempley.htm   (362 words)

The Movie Review Section:'Elmo in Grouchland' a better film for older kids than toddlers 10/01/99   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) For while the parents of preschoolers might embrace the prospect of a big-screen Bert 'n' Ernie and Big Bird, this isn't the kinder, gentler ''Sesame Street'' of their childhood. This ''Sesame Street'' is paved with an edgy brashness that will likely prove too intense for younger viewers -- as evidenced perhaps by the number of crying toddlers who took refuge in the lobby at a recent screening -- but will be better received by their older siblings. As for the non-puppets, greedy Huxley (a very bushy-eyed Mandy Patinkin), while certainly spirited, is just a bit overwhelming in the heavy department. www.polkonline.com /entertainment/stories/100199/mov_elmo.html   (318 words)
