I was planning on watching it on prime. Thanks for filling me in
Do the Ice age movies
Critic review the "sonic the hedgehog" live action film from 2020 please ? you know we wanna see you review it
Please review Solo
@IGNACIO GODOY ARAYA south park!
Aw man he missed the funniest joke in the movie!!
Ernie: "Don't cry Burt, what movie has a sad ending?"
Burt: "Titanic, Titanic had a sad ending"
“Uh, no, Bert”
“Gone with the wind?”
“That German film Downfall. It’s so sad when the hero dies near the end.”
What about 'Plague Dogs (1982)'?
literally every film trying to win an oscar
“It ALL belongs to me. If I touch it, I own it.”
Basically Disney in a nutshell
Disney: ding
Soooo true
Man I was hoping for a Stingy from Lazy Town joke.
When Disney touches things, they ruin them!

"This is a grown man reviewing Elmo In Grouchland."
Well, I got to give the Nostalgia Critic credit for listening to popular demand to review this film. I guess resistance is truly futile.
@EdwardSpagedward89 Goofy Toofy BUY A FUCKIN' BELT!
I was originally expecting Phelous to review this movie after mentioning it in his review of GingerDead Man 2: The Passion of the Crust.
He should check out Weenie The Pooh: The Search For Christopher Robin, that movie scared me as a kid!!
His faith is inevitable, he's a machine..
@@diggerfan9319 Me too I also really want him to review The Hunchback of Notredame II The Fox and The Hound II Tarzan II and The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars and To The Rescue
On a serious note, I think the reason Elmo resonates more than other annoying child characters is because he accurately reflects what three year-old kids act like. They can be cute and loving, and also be bothersome and temperamental. We all remember going through that phase and know that our kids will do so as well. You take the good with the bad.
I agree!! Also a big reason I like watching Elmo is cause the puppetry is very adorable and well done to me.
He's awful.
But Elmo is just plain fucking annoying.
elmo is a good bean
Very true. Elmo can be a brat at times, but he is capable of learning from his flaws and does genuinely care about those around him and for the most part thinks of his friends as family and tries to be there for him.
I always found Elmo to be better than Barney for the very reason Critic mentioned in the Barney review: Elmo wasn't always obnoxiously happy like Barney, he could be sad, angry or, as seen in the movie, even a little selfish which made him more relatable.
I also like how he's the only one who understands rocko is just a rock
And he’s fucking savage
Yeah Elmo is so much better than a fraud
Like an actual young child
also his actors had nothing to do with "adult actives" as opposed to Barney
This movie was my childhood.
I thought it was the shit because it had actual stakes and dangers for the characters, something that actual Elmo's World and Sesame Street didn't have.
When I saw the scene with the chicken trying to eat Elmo, I thought: "Damn, this movie is so mature!"
That's kinda hilarious XD
I want to know how old you were, without that info I don't really believe the script you gave
When I was super young, I remember watching it, but now that I’m older, I’m starting to get off vibes rn.
@@jwr2904
The movie came out in 1999. I was born in 2003.
It was one of the movies that I had on DVD and played frequently.
bruh yes king
The worst part about living in a trash can is that people expect you to behave like you don't.
Anthony Shioli like the SNL sketch
How about another joke AnthONEYYy
I sure hope the producers of Sesame Street got rid of that puppet that looked like a mutated green elephant trunk, because that thing actually scared me when I was a little kid!
You say that like you know from experience
Oof, that struck too close to home, bud.
Mandy Patinkin was so overqualified for this movie but he performed his ass off when he could’ve just phoned it in. Mad respect
I remember a lot of the real-life actors pouring their hearts and souls into their Sesame Street roles. :)
I think Sandler would’ve been appropriate for that role myself, idk why I can just see him doing that lol
@@rebekahking6276yeah, nobody ever seems to half-ass a Sesame Street role. It’s like 110% is the baseline.
@@B-Mag Omg, I just now realized that the guy who played Inigo Montoya also played Huxley. That's awesome.
Mandy it’s a classically trained performer
Let’s be honest, the Critic’s impression of Elmo is pretty damn close to being the real deal.( cue hellish Elmo laughter)
He needs to do Tickle Me Elmo for this year's commercial special just for more of that.
@@justinpullen1097 No. He needs to do stop touching me Elmo (look up South Park).

Bert - Titanic.

Either that or a Mandela effect 😊
I was literally about to comment this. I saw it when I was, like, six or seven and thought I’d just made it up
You mean the best fever dream?
"The Queen of Trash makes me feel things I shouldn't in a Sesame Street movie."
I mean as long as she's not a Muppet it's ok.
Right?
This was in a children's movie?

"Don't make Elmo cut you. DON'T MAKE ELMO CUT YOU!!"
LOL WOW THAT'S FUNNY, IS THAT FROM THIS VIDEO OR WAS THAT ORIGINAL? LUL!
@ the video
The lip syncing on that was good
"ELMO WILL POOR ACID INTO YOUR HOME! *YOU WILL DIE!"*
@@mauraconticchio266 I don't know that movie
_awkward silence...._
Elmo: *"BLEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BLEEP-BEEP-BLEEP-BEEP!"*
I lost it at that part, and not gonna lie, I still love this movie even today. As a toddler into my early childhood, I adored Sesame Street. It's always held a special place in my heart as one of the happiest memories from my younger days, but as an adult, my views on Elmo have definitely changed XD
It gave me a good laugh too
Thanks goodness, I ain't the only one on this. I burst out laughing 🤣
Simple but brilliant
Yeah that was hilarious. Poor Zoey though, I doubt she'd have been the same if Elmo really did aggressively curse at her like that.
Zoey, shuddering: "So much language...so much anger...I never knew Elmo could convey such hatred, and over a blanket!"
If kid's movies are done well, they can have appreciation and appeal to adults. After all they're written by adults and often watched by adults in the company of their children. The best example I can think of is simply the previous Sesame Street movie, Follow That Bird. Obviously a kid's movie but it's also just a great movie by any definition. Unlike that movie, Elmo in Grouchland will be liked by most kids who grew up with Sesame Street, only for their views to change as they grow older. If anything, Follow That Bird is more likely to be appreciated with subsequent viewings. Elmo in Grouchland is just poorly written, it doesn't get the excuse of being a kid's movie no less or more than any other.
Huxley= One part *Gargamel* , one part *Robbie Rotten*
He instantly reminded me of Robbie Rotten which makes me want Nostalgia Critic review Lazytown
And named after... the author of "Brave New World"?
With a smattering of Inigo Montoya for good measure.
@@louisduarte8763 As well as The Doors Of Perception.
So That Would make Huxley number 2? Because we already know who is Number 1
Kinda disappointed Doug glanced over the scene of them in jail. Especially when Big Bird begins singing the ABC's to the grouch inmates and they freak out like they're being tortured and beg to be let out🤣🤣🤣
Big Bird: A, B, C, D, E, F, G,....
Grouches: Oh, no! Lemme outta here! It's torture! Let us out! Please!
@John Collins actually, Disney evicted Kermit from Sesame Street
@John Collins He got too big to be confined to one street.
@John Collins TBF Sesame Workshop do the same stuff or barring their characters from Muppet projects, Elmo was meant to have a cameo in the 2011 Muppet movie but Sesame Workshop vetoed it for unknown reasons
@John Collins apparently the cameo was meant to be during the We Built This City On Rock And Roll montage. Whilst looking for potential celebrity hosts for the telethon Kermit would call up Elmo about hosting it and Elmo would enthusiastically agree to it on the spot, but then a lawyer would grab the phone off of Elmo and say “my client would not be interested in that” then hang up
Ok the whole “you’re acting like Huxley” thing is complete bullshit, Elmo is just protective of his property whilst Huxley is an outright thief going around stealing people’s stuff and marking it as his own it’s a false equivalence. It would’ve been better if they had Huxley own almost everything in Grouchland like a dictator because his parents brought everything for him when he was a child that way the comparisons are a bit better and it could give Sesame Street to do their thing of covering more heavy topics in ways kids can understand by having the film teach kids that in some places the people in charge don’t have your best interests in mind and abuse their power, but in some cases it’s not their fault as they’re raised to think that way
Who do you think he is? Stingy from Lazy Town?
stfu
So... you want Huxley to be like Chris-chan?
@@dannywapbang I don't think that's what the Original Commenter intended..but..
I was more going for Kim Jong Un, an asshole who’s only the way he is because his parents made him like that
Fun Fact: This was the final Jim Henson movie to have Frank Oz involved and the same went for Muppets From Space
“…the queen of trash. No, the other one.”
***Gwyneth Paltrow shows up***
I’m guessing you saw JonTron’s Goop videos?
@@MetalSonicReject yep
MetalSonicReject Yep
I laughed my @$$ off at that.
Gooooooopp!!!!!
This film is obviously a retelling of the Russian Revolution, Elmo as Trotsky, Huxley as Czar Nicholas, and the grouches as the prolaterians
And who was Rasputin?
@@docrofreborn7497 ME!!!
@@funkyweapon1981 Then, lover of the Russian Queen, WHERE IS THE CAT!?
@Nick Haley Obviously inspired by Sergei Eisenstein himself and his magnum opus Battleship Potemkin.
This movie was extremely against private property.
Full disclosure: I adore this movie.
I WOULD GO TO HELL AND BACK FOR MY BLANKIE!!
My parents went through hell to get me Tickle-Me-Elmo. Went all the way to Delaware to get it. Got trampled. Overcharged.
And yet they still tell me that it was worth it all to see my six year old self smile and laugh, hug my Elmo and neglect to open another Christmas present for 40 minutes. Selfless, as always 😍
Love you Mom and Dad-love you Elmo.
Love you too Critic!
This movie scared the shit out of me as a kid. For some reason the idea of Elmo losing his blanket actually terrified me
Same
It’s because if Elmo lost his blanket. He would do bad things. Bad, bad things
Seriously me too
That was my greatess fear at age 3-5.
@@AlfredoPuente8 This man gets it
Elmo is both adorable and annoying, much like his target demographic

@@theoriginalredbirdgamer3607 shut up baby, I know it
Stupid anti-pimping laws!
I wonder how rare it is for Kevin Clash, Elmo's voice actor, to meet a fan that says, "I loved you as Baby Sinclair and Polly Lobster" all without mentioning Elmo. Baby Sinclair was like Elmo without the bullshit facade. Seriously, in one episode he fires a slingshot at Blarney (Dinosaurs' analogue for Barney) saying, "Eat glass, Blarney!" followed by "Die, scum, die!" and his Elmo laugh.
I'm the baby, gotta love me!
I liked Baby Sinclair, he was like a dark twisted Elmo but still kid friendly
OMG I LOVED THAT BLARNEY SCENE
NOT THE MOMMA
That doesn’t feel right. Fans should be saying how much they loved him as Elmo.
I can't tell if he's blaming us for him reviewing this movie, or If he's expressing his freedom.
Maybe its both
It's his freedom, but he's blaming us so he can pretend he didn't want to review it.
Critic: "His dead eyes, squeaky chalkboard voice, and demon red face stared at me wherever I went."
Me: What in the hell kind of world do you live in, Critic?!
Travis De La Fuente Big Bird is scarier honestly.
Travis De La Fuente. I honestly don’t recall hearing this massive phobia of Elmo. Part of what made him so successful among kids and, despite what NC feels, I also dare say to adults is that he has an appealing look as well as personality. I would imagine anyone that find Elmo to be scary just doesn’t like puppets in general. Sure there might be a select few who are terrified of only Elmo, but again I don’t recall hearing it as some well known thing like you made it sound.
Travis De La Fuente Mhm

"Now get in the cartoonishly evil vehicle and drive!"
Apparently that's the new slogan for Volkswagen.

"Now get in the cartoonishly masculine vehicle and crush those Volkswagens over there!"
@@funkyweapon1981 yes, by the German Labor Front as “The People’s Car Company.”....now why does that sound familiar?
Elmo, a young, peaceful and loving friend to everyone who just wants everyone to be happy and get along, had a toy that started fights to the death at supermarkets. Ironic.
Huxley: "say bye-bye wubbie!"

“He appeared well past when I stopped watching Sesame Street”

Hmmmmm
Elmo was a baby Muppet without lines then.
I was confused about that, too.

Maybe when elmo started getting popular.
Justin Cordova maybe he did not See the Elmo as kid or he watch 70s and 60s When he was grow up
And to think, this never would've happened if Zoe had just given Elmo his blanket back when he asked for it.
That is one "what if"-story that would be preferable to what we got don't you think.
@@Mecha82 no doubt
Zoe I am not angered by what you stole, but who you stole it from. He will come for you, and you will do nothing because you can do nothing. Elmo is a puppet of great focus, something you know little about.
Yeah, it's kind of weird that the message of the film is that Elmo could become like Huxley when he never tried to steal anything - Zoe did! SHE'S the one who treated someone else's property like her own, so why wasn't she the one learning a lesson? Except judging by that Film Theory episode about Elmo, Zoe and Rocco, the writers have a habit of screwing over Elmo for her sake and never showing Zoe to be wrong about anything even when she's objectively in the wrong 😅
At 6:41 "Elmo will pour acid into your home! YOU WILL DIE!!"
That had me rolling on the floor laughing hysterically! 🤣
Not as much as the tunnel to hell bit or the bleeped swearing 😂
Sure it did.
I used to cry like a bitch to this movie. I felt so bad for Elmo and I hated seeing him hurt. Then again I used to cry whenever an episode ended so maybe I just have a soft spot for Elmo
*You take a chance getting up in every morning, crossing the street or sticking your face in a fan.*
*-Lt Frank Drebin*
Oh my gosh I'm not alone, thank you.
My niece loves Elmo. I'm sure she'll probably end up doing the same thing as she gets a bit older.
"Its called LSD, it's like pretending but with panic attacks"
I'm dead
Well, I didn't know Vanessa Williams as the Queen of Trash was a fetish I had.
That raspberry scene should not be in a children's move.
Next scene would be Elmo learning where human babies come from.
@@Marinealver Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Elmo covered that. Sesame Street is legendary for teaching about complex issues and concepts in a kid-friendly way: Back in the '80s after the death of the actor who played Mr. Hooper, they did an entire episode where they explained that Mr. Hooper died and the characters learned about death, how it's a natural part of life, and how it's okay to feel sad if someone you know dies. It was as close to a masterpiece as a children's TV show could ever get because it handled the issue with such grace, dignity, tenderness, and truth. The best part is that that's just one example. Over the 51 years the show's been on the air, it's covered issues ranging from mental health to racism and just about everything inbetween, and for it I'd dare say that Sesame Street is the greatest children's TV show of all time.
It wasn't. But it is now.
@@furioussherman7265 It is! One of the Greatest TV shows of all time period..
6:03 that made me laugh more than it should have. I literally burst out laughing

It was the best joke of the review! I do not blame you at all! :D!
Also thank you for the time stamp!
Bleeping on kids movies is comic gold
What Elmo said was "You dirty, stuck-up, sadistic, (continuous insults)". But what he really said was he doesn't wanna be Zoe's friend anymore.

+Dexter The Nostalgia Toonster: Bert interrupts the movie several times and he stops it at a sad part thinking it’s the end but Ernie tells him it’s not the end and no one would wanna see a movie w/ a sad ending.

@@tiablue9106 Now I get it.
9:42 to 9:53 That legitimately cracked me up. No buildup, no wasting time making it obvious what's going to happen - just straight to the punchline with hilarious abruptness. Love it. (:
Personally I grew up on those childhood movies such as “Elmo in Grouchland,” “Barney’s Great Adventure” and “Thomas and the Magic Railroad.” Seeing then as an adult, I can see where the nostalgia comes in for such a CHILD’s movie. But I can also understand where I received my love for those films. First and for most, I also watched the TV shows and can sense the cinematic adaption at such a young age. I also remember the sense of wonder and imagination with seeing them on the big screen. I also remember all of them still having a message for kids and I believe they also sticked with growing up such as being selfless, exploring creativity, treat others the way you would want to be treated, and more. I’m honestly really glad Nostalgia Critic has tackled these recent films. He has been on a role lately!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Ernie: What kind of movie would have sad ending?
Bert: Says Titanic, Gone With The Wind, and Dr. Zhavago
Original Version of Little Shop of Horrors: AM I JOKE TO YOU, SON?!
Bert and Ernie: Yes Audrey 2.
Now that got a laugh outta me.
The film would've been funnier if they did mention the Director's Cut ending of Little Shop of Horrors.

@@clamp7123 How?
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 because I watched other things like John wick
@@clamp7123 Fair enough
The amount of suppressed memories surrounding this movie that just hit me
I know right? I loved this movie as a kid and now I'm remembering little things about it
The main difference between Elmo and Barney is that Elmo actually did have more emotions then happy. I remember he was scared of fire for example
As well as the episode where he (like Big Bird) struggles to comprehend the loss of a loved one. Except here it's the loss of his Uncle Jack.
When I was about 4 years old there was this old guy in our neighborhood that everyone said was a nut job * kinda home alone mythos * and my friend and I were in his yard to get a ball and he came out and yelled at us terrifying me. He looked identical to the grouch *the human character*
Then when this movie came out we rented it and I was terrified. It became a way of tormenting me by my sister..
I am now 24 years old almost
In love with horror and gore and they still say "remember when you were scared of the grouch!?"
My family has never let me live this down.
This was 20 years ago lol
@SirScrodoTBaggins I guess I should have clarified better I went in his yard real quick to get a ball. He was drunk which my family later explained was a common site but still no i didn't lol. But that was from my family explaining it not from some drunk dude scarring the shit out of me lol.
Same tbh, except with Heffalumps and Woozles
@SirScrodoTBaggins yeah I was just a kid lol. Most people wouldn't have screamed lol. But it is funny to look back on one of my first memories like that now lol.
Ok can we appreciate how diverse Mandy partinkin he can go from indigo from princess Bride to huksly from Elmo to gidion from criminal minds
He also starred in the original Broadway production of Evita opposite Patti LuPone. I forgot what his character's name was though.
He was also Papa Smurf
He’s also Mr. Tushman in Wonder
You know, there's just one question that stuck with me thought the movie. How on earth did Huxley get to Grouchland in the first place?!
There’s no humans there so did he go through a portal or something?
It's a reverse Grinch thing
Probably born there
He was written as a human instead of a monster because the creators of this movie wanted a celebrity cameo in it.
The Queen of Trash is human so maybe he's Grouchland royalty. They seem to know each other at least.
I’ve always thought that too.I assumed he went through a portal in a trash can as well.
During the "Wubby! Blanket! Wubby! Blanket! Wubby! Blanket!" and "No! Yes! No! Yes! No! Yes!", you should have added "Stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir, WAAA!!!" from The Star Wars Christmas Special!
NO, NO WE’RE NOT GOING BACK TO THAT!!!!!!!

...I find it only fair to request Kermit’s Swamp Years after watching this.
I'd like to see Doug review Muppets in Space.
Used to love that movie as a kid.
Dorian Scott YES!!! I mean, to Muppets in Space. Not that I wouldn’t want him to review Kermit’s Swamp Years, but I prefer Muppets in Space
kermit swamp years was my child hood
Both Muppets from Space and Kermit's Swamp Years were the last couple Muppet movies before Disney bought the Jim Henson company as well as the only Muppet movies owned by Columbia/Sony along with The Muppets Take Manhattan
It really shows how unpopular the Muppets Tonight cast are when the only one they use in any way frequently is Pepe
The part where Elmo says he doesn’t want to be elmo’s friend anymore to zoey
It really shocked me
Kind of ironic since his best friend is Abby Cadabby. So Zoe was in a way replaced. I grew up with Sesame Street, but I remember the episodes before Abby Cadabby and during that time, Zoe and Elmo were best friends. Honestly, I prefer Elmo and Zoe more than Elmo and Abby. I feel like Elmo and Zoe go much better together, in friendship not in shipping. Lol
Zoey's certainly not Elmo's friend anymore after The Rocco incident.
elmo: *arrives in grouchland* mr hooper? what are you doing down here, we thought you were dead
mr hooper: i was sick of all your 123's and ABC's, in grouchland i got all the liquor and strippers i can get
I remember I didn’t even know who Mandy Patinkin was, I just knew him as Hugsly from Grouchland until I was in 8th grade when I saw Princess Bride for the 1st time
You ever saw The Princess Bride?
I just found out he was in the movie.
Black Ninja And Sunday in the Park with George
" Of course I'm doing it because it was requested" 😂
Before he said that I thought it going to follow immediately with it switching over to Chester A Bum like with Follow That Bird. Even though he tried to get through the latter but Chester reviewed the last half
Dude back the f off, understand?
I literally dropped my phone into a bowl of beans when he said that
He really had me in the first half there 😆

@@diggerfan9319 I watched this when my kids were babies (not sure how I happened to acquire the VHS tape) and didn't like the underlying message: if you don't want to share your most special possession it's just as bad as stealing other people's things
@@diggerfan9319 of course we want to encourage sharing. Let's just do it in a way that doesn't label the non-sharer a robber - a Huxley, if you will.
NC: *posts a review on Elmo in Grouchland*
Me: *[Softly]* *Dont*
Elmo and Cookie Monster are both *Ambush Predators* That’s the only way an animal would evolve eyes high on top their head. But, Elmo is more evolved (because of his nose) and doesn’t have to just hunt in amphibious animal areas.
Doctor Cthulhu what
Lomes Think of Cookie Monster as the equivalent of an alligator type hunter, who got hooked on cookies when he was “civilized” on Sesame Street.
Doctor Cthulhu wth
"I'm a grown man reviewing a kid's movie"- Nostalgia Critic
His day job since...what? 2008?
That's like 73 percent of his content
I wanna see NC collab with Alex Meyers.
well, remember,
he did do the barney movie from '98...
Was it still a kids movie at that raspberry scene?
I about choked on my beer when you interrupted with "of course I'm doing it cause it requested 😑" lol
Elmo: Who wants a hug
FBI: You're under arrest
"Elmo, my name is Chris Hanson. Have a seat."
FBI: Sir, I'm going to have ask you to step away from the child. Also, you wanna tell me why an adult is alone at a playground full of kids in the first place?
Don't forget the Rasberry Sceene
"Uh-oh! Who wants to die?"
Is that a reference to the Kevin Clash controversy?
The Queen Of Trash: *Appears*
Me: *makes a phone call* Hey, Jareth! I've found you a girlfriend!
I can ship it
No one's gonna mention that at the end the villain was wearing Misty's top
I thought that too.
I did not notice til now
I was going to point it out, but you already did...
I Grew up With Elmo,he Was my All Time Favorite Sesame Street Muppet Back When I Was a Little Little Kid
I love The Count.......... even though I suck horribly at math.
Mine was and still is Cookie Monster
Same here but I didn’t see Muppet Back
Same here
My favourite was Kermit.
"Elmo doesn't have a tongue, could we do a blinking contest?"
But....but....he....he doesn't....he doesn't have eyelids....
HOLY COW! That's a lot of likes. XD Thanks.
Pundertale Fan. It’s first to blink loses, not who blinks the most. He should have staring contest to make it totally clear.
You made the same joke Scrubs did.
@@V4Now XD Really? I forgot he was on Scrubs.
@@pundertalefan4391 damn good episode.
@@V4Now Yeah. I remember. "I see your problem. You have a hand inside of you."
When my son was a little guy, this was his favorite movie. He LOVED anything with Elmo in it.
I’m surprised that you didn’t make a single joke about Linus and his security blanket. It was RIGHT THERE.
Also there’s an actual Peanuts movie where Linus straight up has panic attacks due to losing it. It’s so tragic but incredibly funny.
Talk about a *GIGANTIC* missed opportunity
I was expecting that too and surprised he didn't do it. And I believe that Peanuts movie you mentioned is a special called Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown.
A Boy Named Charlie Brown!
I loved Elmo, I can even imitate his voice. Only reason I stopped liking him was because I was bullied for liking him.
Woah-really!? You were bullied for something like that!?
Now that's just sad.
"I'm so looking forward to that crossover"
It already happened with Cookie Monster in the "Sesame Street: Respect World" HBO promo
Best thing I liked starring Elmo when I was a kid was an show called “Elmo’s World”
Which is still on the only thing Sesame Street shows is that half hour of Elmo
I loved Elmo's World!
Me too
Elmo loves his goldfish, his crayon too, here on Elmo's world
Mr. Noodle 💓💕💓
Is it just me or is the main villain just "Baby's first Larfleeze"?
The Orange Lantern?
@@logannottheonefrommarvel9917 yes
He is, yes.
Aww baby's first orange lantern
Or grown up Stingy from Lazy Town.
I used to watch this movie religiously as little kid. I quite literally wore the dvd our lol, haven’t seen it in years and I forgot how annoying it could be sometimes. Still has a nostalgic charm for me though
Same!! I watched this movie at least once a day as a toddler.
We still have the VHS tape. I feel bad for my family, I must have drove them nuts watchimg it as a kid.
The only thing I remember about this movie:
The DVD advertisements
I remember the one song: Take your first step
Same!
Me too! Found one on Muppets In Space DVD!
@Ethan Kellerman I didn't!
@@chrisazylum6624 i don't even remember what DVD it was on
ELMO: (censored profanity)
ME: XD
Elmo gona cut you!
Elmo in Grouchland.
*takes off shades* That's a movie I haven't heard in ages.
I worked retail during Christmas of 1996. I can vouch for the Tickle Me Elmo craze. Never saw anyone attacked over one, but I did hide them in the Barbie aisle for people who were nice to me (a grand total of two).
He should check out CinderElmo and Elmopalooza soon.
Those are TV specials, not theatrical movies. I'm sure he'll have enough on his plate when the third big Sesame Street movie comes out eventually.
@@nathanielvaughn6728 I know that, but they still feel like movies to me.
Yeah, I feel like just the word CinderElmo would make a great joke.
@@carlenemedeiros7131 Really??
@@nathanielvaughn6728 Well he did review "A Muppet Family Christmas".
"Elmo appeared well passed when I stopped watching sesame street"
Elmo's first appearance was before you were born, Doug.
*Past
But he didn't become popular until the late 1980s-early 1990s.
12:34 Even the telescope has the word, "Mine" on it? He's looking at a mine with a "Mine" telescope.
What if this guy was actually stingys father from lazytown
I wonder if he’s ever gonna do The Oogieloves.
He’d be hard pressed to top Cinemasnob’s review
2020 has brought enough suffering.
Its only a matter of time.
I don't wish the Oogieloves on anyone, even if Christopher Lloyd is in it
Cinema Snob already got it covered.
What I like about Elmo is now they use him as a role model for kids in episodes that deal with serious issues. He's a good friend to Julia and tells the audience that everyone is important, he helps Karli find her "place"mat while in her new foster home and later talked about what drug abuse is in a way kids could understand, and most recently they had him talk with his dad about racism and protests. He's a great role model for kids ❤
I remember a Sesame street episode where Hooper's store catches fire while Elmo is visiting and not only is he scared of the fire but also the firemen dressed in all their gear and oxygen masks. I guess this might have been made after 9/11 or was just to teach kids about fire safety as Elmo got to visit the fire station after and make friends with the firemen.
Impressive

"It's over Hugsly!"
I don't know why, but when a quote like that isn't followed by "I have the high ground!", it just doesn't feel right...
I grew up with this thing in the early to mid-2000s. Here I am in 2020 wondering how dumb of a kid I was.
Perhaps you were not dumb. Perhaps you were just more simple than you are now.
I totally forgot about this movie. Elmo was really big for me as a little little kid. Used to watch it all the time on vhs and omg the trash queen is way more adult than I remember. Lol glad to see it reviewed.
With Elmo’s eyes high on the top of his head, that means he’s an *Ambush Predator* just like Cookie Monster.
Elmos a mutated crocodile
Me before the video: wait Elmo had a movie?
Me around the middle: this seems...familiar.
After:...OMG I SAW THIS MOVIE AS A TODDLER. HOW DID I FORGET!?!?
Sometimes our brains try their best to repress trauma
Fun fact: Huxley stoke that helicopter from Ronald McDonald. Why else would it look like a McDonald’s kid’s meal box?
Wow! That makes a ton of sense! :D!
Me: Should anyone tell him that there is another sesame street movie in the works?
Everyone else: No
you can from the past
“NO means NO for Elmo!“ (Slaps Moe)
Oh that moment was hilarious 😅😂 I remember those dolls being popular
Elmo knows where you live!
@@chrismurphyracing94 Cool. ^^
I was just thinking "Man I wish that NC could review Elmo's adventure in Grouchland."
*And here we are*
The one thing I remember about this movie, even to this day, is the scene at the laundromat. As a kid, I loved how everyone started jamming out and dancing while playing music on the equipment. Even now as an adult I wish getting my laundry done could be that exciting lol!
