 Old and boring January 17, 2008
Jaci Daugherty (Pennsylvania)
Every time my daughter asks me to put this DVD in I want to pound my head off the wall. Don't let the fun box fool you, this DVD is D-U-L-L.
It's New Year's Eve on Sesame Street....sometime in the early 1990's. You'll have a good laugh checking out Gina's stonewashed tapered jeans and kids dressed with hats turned sideways a la Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire. Elmo (my daughter's all time favorite, and the only character she wants to see) has a tiny part as a news reporter checking in with multi-cultural monsters across the world on New Year's Eve. Three-fourths of the DVD is made up of videos of kids in different countries celebrating, or Gina getting kids ready to celebrate on Sesame Street. The parts with Telly the monster worrying over how to stop New Year's Eve from coming are nails-on-the-chalkboard annoying. I'm so happy I found this DVD in a bargain bin for $0.99. I wouldn't have paid a penny more for this dud.
My daughter (along with other preschoolers) quickly loses interest when Elmo and the other puppets aren't on screen, so this DVD is a flop. She asks to watch it, and then usually 10 minutes later she's waving another DVD in my face and asking to watch something else. And I happily oblige! :)
 still my son's favorite, years later December 26, 2007

One of our most important Christmas traditions is getting out "A Monster's New Year's Eve Party" -- the old name for this DVD. My almost 16-year-old LOVES this; as we watch it every year, he says "I love this song" and "I always wanted one of those hammers for the rice" etc. I am buying the DVD now because I'm afraid our old VHS tape is going to break eventually. The story takes Sesame Street characters to visit different cultures around the world and learn how they celebrate the new year; it's very sweet and a wonderful opportunity for kids to experience different cultures. Highly recommended!
great video February 14, 2007

Great video. My daughter absolutely loves listening to kids singing in various languages. She even learned a hebrew song which she happily belts out every now and then. This video, as most Elmo videos, is great for toddlers.

My daughter (17 months) really loves Elmo's World. So we bought more Seasame Street Dvds hoping she would enjoy them. Unfortunely, this one didn't capture her interest. This might be better for an older child who is interested in learning about other cultures.
