Two hours of Muppets and Celebrities (young James Taylor and Johnny Cash) singing and teaching.
The great thing about Sesame Street is that it is designed to play on two levels: As an educational tool, it teaches children about language, math skills, geography and cultural differences (and similarities) with lively songs and colorful characters, but it also does not bore adults by including well-known celebrities and doing clever parodies. While I have no children of my own, I've always enjoyed the music sections.
This DVD collection consists of short skits and songs from pretty much the run of Sesame Street (40 years) and runs just over 2 hours! So there's a lot here. The "Friends" in the title refers to the characters on Sesame Street that most children know as their "friends" There are 14 "chapters" each one devoted to a character from the ever popular Grover and Oscar and Big Bird to the lesser known Snuffy and Rosita. Celebrities abound here (some have appeared in other Sesame Street compilations) like Gloria Estafan, and Elvis Costello. Some were new to me but so much...
Great DVD!
This DVD is not only my twin daughters favorite, but also my husband and myself. Sesame Street is their hands down favorite, and they have at least a dozen of the DVDs. It's one is better in several ways. First, it's 2 hours long, unlike most videos which are 30 minutes or right under an hour, so that's a great value right there. Second, it goes through every actual Sesame Street character individually, they each get about 10 minutes. It's nice because my girls love Zoe and Snuffleupagus, among others, but it's hard to find videos where they are main characters that also keep their attention. Third, it has new and old clips, so there's actual classic clips from when I used to watch Sesame Street (I'm 31) which is nice instead of just recent clips. In my opinion, if you're looking for a great Sesame Street DVD, this is perfect one for any collection.
From Celebrity Lullabies to C is for Cookies
This is a great collection of Sesame Street songs with little mini-clips from a variety of characters. There are a lot of great songs that any kids that watch Sesame Street will love. The only reason for 4 of 5 stars is that some of the characters selected clips are not the best. For instance Groover has some classic "misadventures" but no Super Groover or G2.0. Also Rosita does not have very much of her newer selections in Spanish. Maybe one day they will update the selections, add another disc, or Blu Ray to include more selections. Overall great purchase!
