Elmo Saves Christmas

This is NOT how a Christmas special is supposed to be portrayed. It's meant to show the beauty of the holidays, but with the Elmo-mania already happening during that time, It turned into a horrific dystopia; caused by a stubborn, immature, naughty 3-year old little brat! Every single holiday! Why teach kids to not have a single holiday every single day when that will never happen in reality?! A horrendous "unrealistic lesson" for too much of a good thing! Listen to some Wow Wow Wubbzy songs. They're the real lesson here!

What was Sesame Street thinking?! We don't have much christmas specials like this, but the Elmo-mania ruins everything! Watch the Aikatsu christmas episodes and the Wow Wow Wubbzy songs instead!

Let's see, there is some good here...a cute reference to the old 'Wonderful Life' rumor surrounding the origin of Bert and Ernie's names, Kermit the Frog has a new newsflash, some classic Sesame Street characters and humor.

But theres a lot of things that make this special mediocre at best. It's a bit too long, Santa Clause is grumpy (and his beard looks more fake than some mall santas I've seen), Harvey Fierstein sings, Bert and Ernie don't even talk, and it's just not as good as the old Sesame Street Christmas Special. It just feels like fluff.

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.

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!
