 A Huge Disappointment February 12, 2010

Normally Seasame Street products are terrific, but this one fails miserably. There are 3 reasons why: 1. too much emphasis on fun, 2. Elmo models horrible behavior, and 3. the music is too upbeat.
Fun is fine and dandy when it's time to be awake or to be learning about cool stuff but fun doesn't work well when it's time to get sleepy and relaxed. Fun is about excitement which is the opposite of relaxation.
This was the first time I ever saw Elmo's dad shown and Elmo acts terribly towards his father. At first, the pair are having a pleasant time reading and getting ready for bed with smiles and laughter, but Elmo decides he doesn't want to goto bed and suddenly engages in a power struggle with his father. Eventually, Elmo wins with his exhausted father giving up and dropping his head onto Elmo's bed with Elmo proudly smiling over his victory. This is a major offensive problem. It isn't fun. It isn't funny. And it is certainly appalling. It is even worse when you consider that Elmo is a hero to little kids. And when toddlers see Elmo acting like this they are going to mimic it as well. Our bedtime ritual before this DVD was pleasant and happy and now it's a nightmare!
Lastly, there's a reason why lullabies are sung to children to help them sleep. It's because they're melodic, slow, and help the body to relax. Almost, all of the music in the DvD is fast paced and "fun." How do you sleep when you've been all wound up?
I recommend that you get a nice lullaby cd and do some reading with your child before bedtime instead of having them watch this dvd. You'll have some quality time with your child and you'll both be happier for it.

We loved this video, my son had the biggest smile on his face when he watches Elmo.
Excellent for bedtime December 29, 2009

We have Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Gorilla, and Bedtime with Elmo. They are all great videos to help children quiet down and get ready for bed. My two year old son loves this video and sits for the entire program. He knows that when Elmo goes to bed at the end of the video, it is time for him to say goodnight too. I highly recommend it.

Cute movie until the 3rd "story", which was a little too scary for my 2-3/4 year old granddaughter. The characters started talking about being scared of monsters and the dark.....time to turn it off! said my granddaughter.
May be better for 4 and 5 year olds.
 Not for toddlers under 2 September 16, 2009

My 15 month old loves Elmo. This DVD however had too much talking and conversation and he was quickly bored. He didn't seem too fond of Elmo's daddy either. His appearance should have been as friendly as Elmo only bigger and with glasses maybe. Those eyebrows and unfriendly voice kept my son very far from the TV set! lol
