On a serious note, I think the reason Elmo resonates more than other annoying child characters is because he accurately reflects what three year-old kids act like. They can be cute and loving, and also be bothersome and temperamental. We all remember going through that phase and know that our kids will do so as well. You take the good with the bad.

I wonder how rare it is for Kevin Clash, Elmo's voice actor, to meet a fan that says, "I loved you as Baby Sinclair and Polly Lobster" all without mentioning Elmo. Baby Sinclair was like Elmo without the bullshit facade. Seriously, in one episode he fires a slingshot at Blarney (Dinosaurs' analogue for Barney) saying, "Eat glass, Blarney!" followed by "Die, scum, die!" and his Elmo laugh.

Whilst looking for potential celebrity hosts for the telethon Kermit would call up Elmo about hosting it and Elmo would enthusiastically agree to it on the spot, but then a lawyer would grab the phone off of Elmo and say “my client would not be interested in that” then hang up

Elmo, a young, peaceful and loving friend to everyone who just wants everyone to be happy and get along, had a toy that started fights to the death at supermarkets. Ironic.

Ok the whole “you’re acting like Huxley” thing is complete bullshit, Elmo is just protective of his property whilst Huxley is an outright thief going around stealing people’s stuff and marking it as his own it’s a false equivalence. It would’ve been better if they had Huxley own almost everything in Grouchland like a dictator because his parents brought everything for him when he was a child that way the comparisons are a bit better and it could give Sesame Street to do their thing of covering more heavy topics in ways kids can understand by having the film teach kids that in some places the people in charge don’t have your best interests in mind and abuse their power, but in some cases it’s not their fault as they’re raised to think that way

I would imagine anyone that find Elmo to be scary just doesn’t like puppets in general.

If kid's movies are done well, they can have appreciation and appeal to adults. After all they're written by adults and often watched by adults in the company of their children. The best example I can think of is simply the previous Sesame Street movie, Follow That Bird. Obviously a kid's movie but it's also just a great movie by any definition. Unlike that movie, Elmo in Grouchland will be liked by most kids who grew up with Sesame Street, only for their views to change as they grow older. If anything, Follow That Bird is more likely to be appreciated with subsequent viewings. Elmo in Grouchland is just poorly written, it doesn't get the excuse of being a kid's movie no less or more than any other.

I grew up with this thing in the early to mid-2000s. Here I am in 2020 wondering how dumb of a kid I was.

Perhaps you were not dumb. Perhaps you were just more simple than you are now.

I worked retail during Christmas of 1996. I can vouch for the Tickle Me Elmo craze. Never saw anyone attacked over one, but I did hide them in the Barbie aisle for people who were nice to me (a grand total of two).

@@Marinealver Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Elmo covered that. Sesame Street is legendary for teaching about complex issues and concepts in a kid-friendly way: Back in the '80s after the death of the actor who played Mr. Hooper, they did an entire episode where they explained that Mr. Hooper died and the characters learned about death, how it's a natural part of life, and how it's okay to feel sad if someone you know dies. It was as close to a masterpiece as a children's TV show could ever get because it handled the issue with such grace, dignity, tenderness, and truth. The best part is that that's just one example. Over the 51 years the show's been on the air, it's covered issues ranging from mental health to racism and just about everything inbetween, and for it I'd dare say that Sesame Street is the greatest children's TV show of all time.

Muppets From Space is... baffling, to say the least. Not just in its central conceit of Gonzo being an alien, or its departure from the Muppet musical formula in favor of a soundtrack of '70s and '80s funk, but the fact that it was made during a very weird time in Muppet history. It exists as a permanent snapshot of the post-Muppets Tonight era, when a bunch of new characters had just been introduced and they didn't quite know who they were going to keep yet. I can imagine casual Muppet fans watching that movie for the first time today and going "Who the hell is Dr. Phil Van Neuter?"

@overlydramaticpanda

That always used to bother me when I watched this movie as a child. Like...the moral would have worked fine if the whole thing had started because Elmo had been trying to take something that belonged to Zoe but as it stands, it just makes no sense for the movie to claim he's like Huxley for wanting something back that belongs to him. Elmo's basically a toddler with a security blanket (which is a completely normal thing for a toddler to be possessive over) that he only lost in the first place because Zoe first assumed that it was fine for her to take it without his permission and then outright refused to give it back even when he asked her to. Elmo really isn't the bad guy at all in this situation - that's Zoe, even though with her it was unintentional.

I had this movie as a kid, and I never truly forgot about it. The character of Huxley stood out and stuck with me most, and as I grew up, I came to appreciate him for what he is. He's a perfect villain for a Sesame Street-type movie, because of how antithetical he is to the general vibe. In a movie based on a lighthearted, feelgood show about sharing and caring, Huxley is not only greedy, but petty, capricious, self-absorbed, and generally mean-spirited, even more so than the residents of Grouchland. And he's not just inclined to be this way; he _revels_ in it. Nothing brings him greater joy than depriving others and basking in their misery. He's basically as bad a villain as you can get for a movie like this. Oh, and his musical number is an absolute showstopper.

Personally I grew up on those childhood movies such as “Elmo in Grouchland,” “Barney’s Great Adventure” and “Thomas and the Magic Railroad.” Seeing then as an adult, I can see where the nostalgia comes in for such a CHILD’s movie. But I can also understand where I received my love for those films. First and for most, I also watched the TV shows and can sense the cinematic adaption at such a young age. I also remember the sense of wonder and imagination with seeing them on the big screen. I also remember all of them still having a message for kids and I believe they also sticked with growing up such as being selfless, exploring creativity, treat others the way you would want to be treated, and more. I’m honestly really glad Nostalgia Critic has tackled these recent films. He has been on a role lately!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I haven’t watched it in a long time, and then I was like “Hey what’s this movie where Elmo tries to find his blue blanket” and I remember, it’s actually sad how it’s 22 years old, I would always watch this when I was little, but pretty unbelievable it’s in 1999, I always remembered it with clear and new animation, and thought it was made somewhere at 2000’s
