If you own Elmo's world "singing and drawing," don't bother ordering this one. It is pretty much the same video!

This disc has 3 Elmo's World episodes on it: Friends, Singing & Dancing.

Friends - Emphasizes the importance of sharing and taking turns. Also features many of the Sesame Street characters bursting through Elmo's door at the beginning because they are "Elmo's friends." Kristen Chenowith (from Pushing Daisies) is also in this one as Miss Noodle, Mr. Noodle's sister. They learn to share and take turns on a swing.

Singing - This one was my son's least favorite. There is a muppet opera singer that really freaked him out. Everytime she showed up and started her high-pitched singing he shouted "No!" "No!" and made me skip ahead. It got to the point where he wouldn't watch this one at all.

Dancing - Elmo learns about all different kinds of dancing: tap, the Hokey Pokey, and his favorite, the Twirl Around and Fall Down Dance. (Now my son's favorite too.)

We feel cheated by this Elmo DVD. Some of the episodes are from the same episodes of the Singing And Drawing DVD. I wish they had never done this. If this DVD is sold as "The Best of Elmo" we would accept that. However, it is sold as a totally new DVD. When you sell a new DVD, it is not cool to mix in old material. What value does that teach our kids? Very disappointed!

My son can not get enough of this video, he loves Elmo, and this is a good adition to his videos collection

My son is only 16months old & refuses to watch TV, which is good, in some ways. But after a few times of putting this on, he dances with it & actually watches it. Now when I say, "want to watch Elmo?" He goes over to the DVD player & looks for the movie. It is very educational as well, not just a TV babysitter. It teaches abotu sharing, taking turns, different types of singing & it incorporates kids of all ages. I highly recommend this DVD

My niece loves this dvd, she can watch it over and over again without getting bored. shipping wasnt so fast but the dvd is awesome.

My 26-month-old daughter has had this video for over a year now, and is still not bored with it.
The title makes it sound less interesting than it actually is -- it should be called "Friends, Singing and Dancing". (There's one section about each.)
As a former Special Ed teacher, I particularly like the fact that the "friends" section features some special-needs kids, but not in a patronizing way. They're just friends, like anybody else.
The singing and dancing parts are great, too -- you'll love Elmo doing the hula!

These are good, cute little Elmo's World. My daughter likes them but... I think if I saw that "singing" Elmo's world one more time I'd lose it! It seems that the shorts in this DVD are frequently used in the episodes of Sesame Street that air on TV/on Demand, especially the singing one.

My 17 month old LOVES it. She can watch the DVD anytime and any place. She can watch that DVD from 7:00 am until 7:00 pm. NONSTOP!
I have 4 copies! One for each car. The house and one for her travel bag and portable DVD.

This is one of my son's favorite Elmo DVDs. The first segment, Friends, is great, because all the Sesame Street characters are involved and that always made him very excited to see Cookie Monster, Grover, Zoe, etc. I like the Singing and Dancing segments because of the variety of music your child is exposed to. The only thing I find slightly irritating is the opera singer teaching Elmo how to sing opera. It's a little annoying if you're doing something else and it's "background" noise. But that's far outweighed by the overall quality and content of the DVD.
