Sesame Street: The Best of Elmo 2

Before B got introduced to Cars (Disney's evil genius), his favorite DVD was The Best of Elmo 2. It was the first movie he ever watched at the tender age of 18 months and he loved it.And I loved this DVD. It's charming, sweet, and it features great songs from artists like Jason Mraz, Feist, and Ray Charles. It's essentially a story of how Elmo meets a new friend, Memory Bot, and helps Memory Bot get new memories by sharing his memories of his times with friends. At first B was scared of some of the songs, but he now knows all of them by heart. And I'm more than happy to watch it with him for the music and the lessons therein.We initially were streaming some of these songs off of youtube and just bought the DVD. It's worth it as it supports Sesame Street and well, I don't have to click every 2 minutes for a new song. Of note: THIS IS NOT ELMO'S WORLD. It's much much more than that-- it's a great first movie for toddlers.

My wife and I agreed that we would not use the television to raise our child. However, there comes a time in any parent's life when you need a few moments reprieve- to take a shower, to go to the bathroom, or just to have a few moments peace. We already have the original "Best of Elmo" and our child absolutely loves it. Based on that alone we bought "Best of Elmo 2". It is nearly 1 hour long (instead of 30 minutes like the original Best of Elmo). The songs are great the characters are wonderful and the themes are colorful. Additionally, the story contains lessons about friendship, sharing, counting, persistence and self-confidence. Obviously, that's a bit much for 13 months old! Still, my child loves the music and in time, these important lessons will be learned. Based on my experience with this and the previous version, if they come out with a "Best of Elmo 3", I would buy it without hesitation.

It is quite possible that I like this video almost as much as my toddler! Celebrities including Jason Mraz, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Feist adapt their popular songs for the littles to relate to and dance along to. Diane Sawyer and David Beckham also make appearances, and the movie is complete with a robot. The video is about 45 minutes but is full of high quality skits- and most importantly- full of Elmo! In other Elmo videos, there may be rather long stretches without Elmo actually included, and that just does not sit well with my 2 year old boy who is Elmo-crazy (he will ask to watch Elmo when, indeed, an Elmo video is already on; and no, we don't watch that much TV which is why quality is important!).

I highly recommend this video. We purchased it for the children because they were home from daycare over the summer. I try to stock up on educational videos while they are at home. It has been viewed over and over again by my 22month old and my 3 1/2 year old. They even watch it in the minivan. My daughter loves to sing the ABC song and my sons likes "I have a new way to walk, walk....> Its ringing in my head. Enjoy.

After reading the reviews for both Best of Elmo DVD's I decided to buy both, I figured the more variety the better. We LOVE Best of Elmo 2! It was upbeat, filled with amazing songs that my son Loved. He could sit there and watch the whole thing over and over. It's not just my son who loves this DVD, I do too! I love singing along to the songs with my son and dancing around the living room. Best of Elmo 1 was more of the older material but that wasn't a problem for us, the problem was it was just slow and boring for my little one. He lost interest after the first few minutes. I recommend Best of Elmo 2 to anyone who has an Elmo Lover in their house old no matter what the age!

Our daughter is 19 months old, and has a bit of an Elmo obsession. Elmo doll, Elmo shoes, and especially Elmo's songs. When we found the alphabet song with Elmo and India.Arie online, it was all she wanted to watch for about a week.When we got tired of hitting "play again" on YouTube, we decided to download an Elmo video, and this was the one we selected. She (and we) were not disappointed. The video includes a variety of Elmo clips, but what our daughter loves is the songs. The India.Arie song mentioned is included, as well as tracks with Feist, Jason Mraz, Adam Sandler, Destiny's Child, and Goo Goo Dolls. Many of the songs are good enough that we downloaded the original songs in MP3 format for use in iTunes. Highly recommended!

My daughter was an Elmo fanatic, despite not having watched him on TV. She also LOVES music, so this was the perfect combination for her. Even when she didn't like to watch TV for more than 5 minutes, she would sometimes sit and watch this entire video. The storyline is perhaps a bit lacking, but serves it's purpose to show music video after music video with a little Elmo in between! The songs are all pretty good and I believe are from old Sesame Street shows with popular artists (Jason Mraz, Destiny's Child). They don't make you want to gouge your ears out, which is saying something for children's music! My daughter doesn't want to watch this daily anymore (thank goodness), but she still requests it 6 months later. Definitely worth the investment.

My 11 year old watched this as a baby. My son watched and we still love it

i love the music in this elmo is so cute

See title for reason of review rating, miss sold and disappointed with DVD which is exactly the same as Elmo 1.

前作が大好きな娘の為に購入しました、曲は全部で10曲以上収録、前作とは違いエルモが一人で歌っている曲の割合は約半分と少なく、過去にコラボした有名人との曲がほとんどです出演人がとにかく豪華でしたＡ・サンドラー、Ｊ・ブラック、Ｄ・ベッカム、レイ・チャールズ、カラオケ版ではダイジェストで収録されていたデスチャがフルで収録、今までセサミサイトで見ていたインディアのＡＢＣソングなどとても楽しい1本です。ストーリーの流れとしては、エルモがロボットにメモリーをチャージしてあげる。。と言う流れです英語字幕が出るので、話の内容も分かるし良かったですただ前作とは違いＣＧなどを使用している映像が多いので、往年のセサミ好きには向かない内容かも知れません

My grandson loves this video so much we had to purchase 2 so he can watch it inside the car.
