Elmo Saves Christmas

Alright well I am 13 today and I got this movie around Christmas when I was 3 being elmo obsessed and I watched it every Christmas with my family. I love it. It is just so awesome. I used to love the songs and sing them all the time. Christmas is way better with Elmo. I loved the reindeer. I always thought that he was so cute. I also loved how elmo got the moobunny at the end. I thought that is was really funny and how one of the elves wore the mickey mouse ears because they wanted to go to Florida. And Grover with the Christmas trees and how after all of the tress are gone he uses a coat hanger and the sign. The same man kept coming back. I alo love the Easter Bunny with the eggs. Overall awesome Christmas movie.

This is NOT how a Christmas special is supposed to be portrayed. It's meant to show the beauty of the holidays, but with the Elmo-mania already happening during that time, It turned into a horrific dystopia; caused by a stubborn, immature, naughty 3-year old little brat! Every single holiday! Why teach kids to not have a single holiday every single day when that will never happen in reality?! A horrendous "unrealistic lesson" for too much of a good thing! Listen to some Wow Wow Wubbzy songs. They're the real lesson here!

Let's see, there is some good here...a cute reference to the old 'Wonderful Life' rumor surrounding the origin of Bert and Ernie's names, Kermit the Frog has a new newsflash, some classic Sesame Street characters and humor.

But theres a lot of things that make this special mediocre at best. It's a bit too long, Santa Clause is grumpy (and his beard looks more fake than some mall santas I've seen), Harvey Fierstein sings, Bert and Ernie don't even talk, and it's just not as good as the old Sesame Street Christmas Special. It just feels like fluff.

What was Sesame Street thinking?! We don't have much christmas specials like this, but the Elmo-mania ruins everything! Watch the Aikatsu christmas episodes and the Wow Wow Wubbzy songs instead!

This movie is about appreciating Christmas. If you see it in a negative light, then the meaning went over your head. I love this movie and my kids love it too. The songs are fun and the lesson is that Christmas is special because it happens once a year and that having Christmas every day it would lose its meaning. It's not an "abomination" as other reviewers expressed.
