Elmo Saves Christmas

I saw this DVD when I was a child but now, I loath it to death! Elmo acted like a one year old, he's so stubborn in a bad way, you name it! This is most horrendous Christmas special I ever seen! You know this is not how Christmas (or Easter or the Fourth of July) is supposed to be like.

Since this classic Sesame Street holiday special has celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, I feel that I should write a review for it. Back when it permeated on PBS and got released on VHS in '96, I remember recording it and watching it practically every day up until Christmas Day. This would also be the very first Sesame Street holiday special featuring everyone's favorite furry red monster.. After rescuing Santa Claus (Charles Durning) from being stuck in his chimney, Elmo gets three wishes. One of them he uses to have Christmas every day. With his new reindeer friend, Lightning, Elmo goes on a journey to actually see what Christmas every day was a great idea.

The late Dr. Maya Angelou, who has appeared on Sesame Street time and time again during the '90s, did a wonderful job narrating the story. Another celebrity I liked from the special was Harvey Fierstein as the Christmas/Easter bunny.

Elmo Saves Christmas teaches an important lesson on why you can't have Christmas every day. Watch it and you will find out why.

Elmo wishes that every day is Christmas, wreaking havoc on the world. But why did they put Harvey Fierstein in a singing role? This guy has the worst voice I've ever heard!

Jim Henson always comes out with a cute movie. there isn't one Muppet movie i don't like. Aloth this is Sesame Street, its still cute. I haven't seen this movie in a while, but basically Elmo has a wish from Sannta, and he wishes everyday was Chhristmas. Its great at first but then people start to get tired of Christmas, and Elmo has to figure out how to put things right. I liked this movie as a kid and it will always have a place in my heart. If your watching this as a kid, with your kids, or an adult reliving the awesomeness of childhood, you'll be sure to love this movie. final say... 8/10 PS Muppet Xmas carol is my fave Christmas movie of all time. u should check that out too.

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.
