Harrison D This Movie Was Pretty Awful, And Grizzy Started to get F**king sucked into Huxley's Vacuum Helicopter and she Screamed so badly that it makes me want to hurt my ears. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Lia H I ended up watching it more than my daughter. They went hard with the villain song. It's like a muppets movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review BRENDEN J great sesame street film for the whole family. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review London H A good movie surprisingly a lot of parts in the movie that kids would be scared of, I know I was scared of the giant chicken part when I was a little kid. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/18/23 Full Review JesusSavesPraisehim This movie came out when I was about five years old . I cried because Elmo's blanket got ripped because I loved my blanket also like Elmo. Today as an adult this movie is still grouchtastic . Oscar today is one of my favorite characters second is big bird and third is Ernie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/22 Full Review Audience Member Quite honestly so cute & funny. I watch this daily with my daughter & as a someone who loved Elmo growing up, I'm sad I'm just now watching it! Plenty of jokes that make me laugh & the music SLAPS! A true masterpiece in my opinion Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
