My son loves Sesame Street and has since he was a year old. He's not Elmo-crazed but he does love Elmo along with Cookie Monster (his favorite), Ernie, the Count and Baby Bear. I was trying to stay away from Elmo says BOO! because I bought him Elmo Saves Christmas last year and he won't watch it all the way through (I think it's too much elmo and not enough of the other guys) wich is why I picked this Halloween DVD. It's got more characters in it. This DVD is basically about the rituals of Halloween and what people do on the holiday for example it's got a trip to an apple cider factory to show how they make apple cider.

The movie's educational and I, personally, like it but I think it's more for a 4+ child, not toddlers. If your child is 4yrs or older then I think it'll be an excellent choice.

We've got It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie brown wich he loves & The Nightmare Before Christmas (or what he calls "JACK") wich he loves but I wouldn't recommend for toddlers. I guess we'll try Elmo says BOO! Wish us luck and Happy Halloween! :)

Our daughter, who just turned two in August, absolutely loves Sesame Street. When we bought her this movie we hoped it would keep her as involved and interested as the TV show and it has far exceeded our hopes. She has watched it over and over since the beginning of October, (along with her 9 year-old sister and 10 year-old brother if you can believe that!) and she now not only sings some of the silly songs, but says some of the lines with the characters, too!

It is very informative and yet it keeps her attention. Every time she sees the part about the apples and the cider mill, she asks for an apple to eat!

I am now in the hunt for the perfect Sesame Street holiday show, (maybe Elmo's World Happy Holidays?), so that the Halloween shows can be hidden away until next year.

My 2-1/2 year old was unimpressed with this at first, but "got" the concept after a couple of viewings and now asks for it every day. He was so excited when we got to actual Halloween this year, because he understood the concept of costumes and jack-o-lanterns. The songs aren't as catchy as the ones on most Sesame Street videos, but the segments with the real children really keep his attention and Caroline Rhea's mugging makes him giggle.

The animation/computer graphics are very sharp and beautiful in this video and it is very colorful. It catches my 3 year old's attention well. He loves Halloween and "spooky" stuff, so he loves this video. It's not one of his all time favorites that he watches over and over, but he does enjoy it. I would recommend it highly. Great for a Halloween-time gift!

As another reviewer said, every time my children watch this movie and the part about apples and the cider mill they ask for an apple to eat! That is suggestive advertising at its best! (:

Elmo, Zoe and Telly are wondering what can they do on a crisp autumn day. And Mumford the Magician sure delivers!

This isn't all about Elmo, or even Sesame Street. Takes viewers via hayride to a orchard, a farm at harvest time,a pumpkin patch with pumpkin carving and various halloween parties. A great tool to teach toddlers and kids about fall activities.

My kids would request, sit and watch non-stop from around 18 months... and at 8 are still sitting down to watch it.

And the best part is 100+ views I can still enjoy parts myself.

This is a great Sesame St. show! My kids like the ones where there is an actual storyline as opposed to the show itself that goes from skit to skit. This one is very cute and they watch it year round.

This is a cute dvd and talks about how monsters don't have to be scary which is great. Has clips of costume ideas, pumpkin carving, hayride and apple farm. Have had it since my daughter was 2 and we still watch it yr. round 3 yrs. later.

My 2 yo is a sesame street fanatic, so this dvd was a no-brainer, but my 18 mos-old nephew loves it too and he does not like to sit still for many shows.

The nice thing about this dvd as opposed to Elmo Says Boo (which is also great) is that it is an hour long as opposed to 1/2 hr.

This is the first DVD my 18 month old insisted I play over and over! The songs are catchy and fun. I really enjoyed this DVD as well. Really great SS episode. Catherine Rhea is great as the main character.

I wasn't impressed with this dvd at all. My daughter is an Elmo freak, but even she barely paid any attention to it.
