 Too many celebrities November 30, 2008
V. McCrady (Dallas, TX)
While I enjoyed several parts of this DVD, it just doesn't feel very cohesive -- either to me or my 2 1/2 year old. The director seems to cater to the celebrities who do cameos here to such an extent that the storyline tries to function like a sitcom. The jokes were either stupid or they required an awareness of pop culture that my preschooler just does not have. "Stiller the Elf" (voice of Ben Stiller) is particularly uninspiring, and having Santa wear fingerless black leather gloves and act in very un-Santa-ish ways turned off both me and my kiddo. I really wish that Kevin Clash (rather than Joey Mazzarino) had produced and directed this one, since he seems to have a much better feel for what parents and their children will be willing watch the fifty or sixty minimal viewings that all Elmo DVDs get.
 Cute but sends a bad message to kids... November 30, 2008
P. Wallis (Birmingham)
This movie is cute... most of the cameos & songs are good. I don't like some of the dialogue. A couple of times during the movie a character starts talking about the "elfin' menace".... Its sounds like hes saying "f-in menace". Another character says something like "not having a snowballs chance in..." & another character pipes in & says something before the character says "hell". Some parents might not care if their kids talk trashy but I do. Its a shame because if they had left out those comments it would definitely be a keeper.
 Just too cute November 23, 2008

I bought two of these movies for my younger grandkids. Even the older ones like to watch it. It is a great way to get the little ones into the holiday season.
Wonderful Christmas FUN November 22, 2008
Kristen A (Pittsburgh, PA.)
We love this DVD. My son is almost 2 and he is a big Elmo fan...he has wanted to watch this at least once every day since we got it. My husband and I really enjoy it as well (although not EVERY day)! The music is wonderful and the scenes are animated well with extremely bright colors; it is a very up to date Sesame Street production, unlike some of the older DVD's. This will definitely be a Christmas tradition in our home :)
VERY GOOD, BUT COULD BE BETTER... November 16, 2008
Mrs. Pen4you (GA. USA)
The story is very good, but my 4 y/o child and I can't give it the 5 stars.
The main audience of this story is supposed to be young children... some jokes, in my opinion, are waaaayyy tooo complicated for the kiddos. I don't like this "revolutionary" idea of a Santa who likes rock... the rocker Santa was *not* silly; rather, he was simply corny... and it was supposed to be one of the magical moments of the story. something can be funny and still magical.... but that santa?...hmmmm, nop.
Don't get me wrong, the story is very good and my child liked it (let's say that is lacking something.... it's just not having the feeling of a classic Christmas story)... but overall, it's OK. I specially liked seeing so many American celebrities singing so many wonderful songs for the story... but the end is totally messed up... they did a good job putting everything together, so I'll give it 4 stars.
