Sesame Street - Kids' Favorite Songs 2 [VHS]

The first few times I watched this with my two year old, I was really annoyed by it. As in, I wanted to give it away to someone I didn't like much so we wouldn't have to deal with it anymore. There was way too much randomness compared to the first Kid's Favorite Songs - it cuts back and forth from Elmo to kids, to Elmo, to kids, to a skit, to kids, to this meatball storyline, etc. It felt very disjointed. And if you're expecting a Elmo-heavy video, you'll be disappointed - it's more random children talking about songs than anything else. What Elmo does the most is walk around for a few seconds, say something, laugh, and point his video camera at you.That being said.... When I left it alone for a while and then came back to it, I had a much better opinion... I do like:...that there are kids talking and singing the songs in their own way, however off-key they might be. It's not as disjointed as I first thought it was, it just seemed that way because I was expecting something similar to the first Kid's Favorite Songs dvd....it felt almost like a tv episode v/s a miniature movie - it would have "commercials" that came up during breaks in the overall storyline (Snuffy loses his meatball.)...there is enough kid-action in this one to involve the viewer (marching, hand movements, etc.)...various themes were touched on - nursery rhymes, songs about animals, etc....it's not Elmo-heavy, and uses Rosita, and Baby Bear, and other characters to sing the songs....you get the entire On Top of Spaghetti song from Snuffy. (That may not seem like a big deal, but I enjoyed it - when's the last time you heard the *whole* song?)...a variety of song animations and skits (except the nursery rhyme one, that's still a little odd to me, but that's okay). My two year old really enjoys the Bug Lady songs and the singing turtles. (I like Little Bo Peep.)...that there were songs I was unfamiliar with (Captain Brown, Follow Me), as well as the classics (Rubber Ducky, On Top of Spaghetti)....That it ends with a (rather long) rousing rendition of Elmo's Song, which has led to my daughter singing "La la la la (her name's) song" at random times.All in all, we've come to enjoy this dvd, and I've even ordered it as a gift for people (who I do like :)

Love the songs on this ! I actually love hearing it play while our little one is watching it.

My one year old son loves this DVD. He watches it every day during lunch. One of his first mumblings was "Elmo" where he would point to the TV to get us to turn it on. I'm sure he would give this a Five Star review. I'm giving it four just because he loves it so much. The story is actually clever as it follows Snuffy and his quest to find his giant meatball. I am telling you though, the songs will get stuck in your head and you won't be able to get them out! Imagine this: I was visiting my friends downtown and started humming the theme, "Elmo's Song". They asked me what it was and I explained. Lets just say by the end of the night (and a few drinks later) there were a dozen twentysomethings walking down the sidewalk singing all in unison "La la la la, la la la la Elmo's Song....thaaaat's Ellllmo's Sooooonggggg!"

We bought this DVD because our hard to please 2 year old absolutely loves the first one, Kid's Favorite Songs.Kid's Favorite Songs 2 consists of Elmo running around Sesame Street asking questions & recording kids talking about their favorite songs. Unlike the first, this DVD has a lot of cut scenes where children are talking about & singing parts of their favorite songs with no muppets in sight. The show then cuts into scenes where muppets sing the entire song the children were talking about. There is also a lot of cut scenes where strange cartoons are singing the songs instead of muppets.I enjoyed watching Kid's Favorite Songs with my son, but Kid's Favorite Songs 2? Not so much. If it were up to me entirely, I would rate this rather low, but my son seems to enjoy it for the most part & adores the parts where Elmo is present, & that's what's important.

This is an excellent DVD!! Following up on the original Kids Favorite Songs, this DVD kicks up the fun to another level for your little one. This DVD includes actual children (from preschool age to mabye about 2nd grade it looks like) and they hilariously give their take on their favorite songs and nursery rhymes even singing in their own 'melodious' sort of way. This DVD is very entertaining and your little Elmo junkie will love that most of the Sesame street muppets are there including - yes Elmo is there and he actually narrates this one as well. My daughter is 18 mos and she just loves to see other kids singing, performing and acting silly like herself.. They perform all the kids favorites like Mary had a little lamb, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Jack & Jill, If you're happy and you know it and the list goes on.. Parents this will definitely keep your little busy body entertained throughout the whole show and hopefully give you some peace and quite for at least half an hour...

Got this for my grandson. When he comes over, and he's been good, he gets a "close your eyes for a surprise" and his fave is a dvd. He loves to look at the boxes and the dvds itself.

Was hoping for some new content for a child who has seen them all, but this dvd is mostly a remix of well known episodes.

Mis nenes les encantó debido a que es pura musica.

This has some great childhood songs. Good pacing and good selection. My child likes it.

２歳半の息子はセサミが大好き。何本か買ったうち息子はたぶんこれが一番好きです。小さい子供が次々と出てくるたびにケラケラ笑っています。（何が面白いのか親にはよくわかりませんが。）夕飯を作る間の必需品です。リージョン１ですが、我が家の「すご録」で再生可能です。

kids Favorite Songsが大好きな９ヶ月の息子の為に続編と思い買ったもののkids Favorite Songsとはまったく違う感じでした。どうかな・・・と思ったけれど息子は大喜び！子供たちが歌の紹介をしてくれるのだけど、それよりもっとエルモが歌を歌ってくれたほうがいいんじゃないかと思うのですが、息子は子供たちにも興味があるみたいで喜んで見ています。

１歳７ヶ月の男の子のままです。前作には、すごい食いつきで、いつもＤＶＤ・ＣＤのケースを持って眺めているほどです。エルモちゃんが出てきただけで、きゃーきゃー大喜び。・・・で、そろそろこちらも。と思って買ってみたのですが・・・なんとなく、まったりとしたテンポで、ノリノリの曲が少ないせいか、こどもは途中で飽きちゃうみたいでした。何か別のことをしだして、エルモちゃんが出てくると、ちらみ。みたいな(笑)１作目も、最初はイマイチの反応だったので、様子をみてみたいと思います。一応。
