This one is definitely a kiddie keeper.

A lightweight, familiar comic adventure that ought to thrill the very young.

An appeal that tops out at about age 4.

There are enough audience participation scenes to keep young children from getting restless.

Strictly for those who are currently watching the PBS series: that is, the preschool/kindergarten audience.

Kids who love Barney or the Muppets will undoubtedly feel right at home.

The film is nothing if not benign, but its merits are moot for those above 7 or so.

The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland is a cause for celebration!

It's difficult for even the cynic in the audience to resist giggling at the sight of a grown man and a tiny-voiced Muppet arguing whether or not the Blanket an entire film has been built around should be called "Wubby" instead.

Perfect for that discriminating five-year-old in your life, or any grown-up who still wonders what goes on deep inside Oscar's garbage can.

A real children's film -- not 'family entertainment' -- but the kind of movie three-year-olds will enjoy, especially if they watch Sesame Street.
