One electrifying hour of Sesame Street music and magic commemorates its 35th anniversary in this collection of 17 classic songs paired with a star-studded guest list. Superhero Grover provides the thematic storyline for musical merriment as he embarks on a mission to discover the "one special song the world can sing together." It's a difficult task since everyone in the Sesame Street cast has an opinion. Beginning with the opening number, "Sing" (which gives cameos to Ben Stiller, Conan O'Brien, the Dixie Chicks, and more), the tunes come in rapid succession along with the usual bantering and balderdash of Kermit, Oscar, and the gang. There is no shortage of hilarity, whether watching Wayne Brady sing "Between" sandwiched in the middle of Big Bird and Snuffy; or Queen Latifah belt a rap rendition of "That's the Letter O." It is no wonder that Sesame Street remains timeless with such servings of exquisite entertainment targeted at youngsters yet enjoyed by all. (Ages 3 to 8) --Lynn Gibson

Customer Reviews

Took me back in time
I bought this video for my daughter after a family member of mine sang "What's the name of that song" to my daughter. It reminded me of when I was a child & bought it so we could enjoy something together that I had enjoyed as a child. Its adorable & my daughter (2) loves it & no sings along.

The best collection of songs!
My 23 month old loves Ernie's "Do dee duck" song so thats what I got this DVD for. However, we quickly realized that its a great collection and our daughter enjoys all the other songs. She would point to the TV and say "La Di Da" whenever she wanted to hear it again. After a few weeks, she has even started singing a few of the songs word for word, (including actions). The singers are awesome and Patty's "ABC song" is awesome.

The story line is very simple - Grover sets off to find the one song that everyone can sing and Elmo and Big Bird help in the quest. In the end, they realize that everyone can sing their own favorite song and that makes the world more interesting and fun. So there's a nice message for the kids.

My toddler LOVES this...and I don't mind it, either. :)
This movie is a great attention getter for my toddler. It is the one video we have that captures his attention from beginning to end. And I don't mind the music, so it's not a bad choice for the not-so-background sounds. He dances along, claps to it, smiles and laughs...it's definitely his favorite. There are great songs and a mix of puppet characters and people singing.
