The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland [DVD]

Product Information

An early concept for the movie involved Elmo losing his ball in Oscar's can rather than his blanket. [3] In a December 2019 appearance on The Tonight Show, Elmo mentions avoiding Grouchland "at any and all costs" during a rap version of the " Sesame Street Theme."

On December 21, 1999, [7] [8] the film was released on VHS and DVD by Columbia TriStar Home Video. [nb 1] In 2007, the film was re-released on DVD as part of a double feature with Thomas and the Magic Railroad. [10] Book series [ edit ]The film was one of the few Sesame Street productions directly produced by The Jim Henson Company. This was the final Muppet feature film to involve Oz, who retired from being a full-time puppeteer the following year. [3] This was also the final theatrically released film to predominately feature Muppet characters until Walt Disney Pictures' The Muppets in 2011, and the final Muppet film to feature Caroll Spinney before his retirement in 2018 and his death in 2019. An animated logo for the Children's Television Workshop produced by R.O. Blechman and Tissa David was originally supposed to appear at the film's beginning. [4]

( September 2019) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) The film inspired a trilogy of children's books, published in 1999 by Random House: Happy Grouchy Day, The Grouchiest Lovey, and Unwelcome to Grouchland. The book series was written by Suzanne Weyn and illustrated by Tom Brannon. In the second Sesame Street theatrical film, fourteen years after Follow That Bird, Elmo spends time with his favorite blanket. When Zoe wants to play with it, Elmo doesn't want to share it, resulting in a tug-of-war. Telly Monster accidentally pulls it away from them both while rollerskating uncontrollably. Oscar the Grouch ends up catching it, sneezes on it, and throws it into his trash can. Since Oscar isn't in his trash can when Elmo finds out, he goes into the trash can, where he finds his blanket, but Elmo and his blanket soon fall through a tunnel (Oscar sees this and only says, "Have a nice trip! Heh heh!!"). The film was shot over a 30-day period (starting May 26, 1998) at the EUE/Screen Gems studio in Wilmington. [4] The set was raised so that puppeteers would be able to stand up instead of squatting below street level like usual. Filming wrapped and visual effects by D.Rez were added during the following month, and the Ernie and Bert scenes were later shot in New York in 1999, with Matt Vogel assisting Steve Whitmire in performing Ernie and Eric Jacobson assisting Frank Oz with Bert.It's Sesame Circus-Full Episode-Living With The Land-This Segment Replaces The I Wonder, What If, Let's Try Film In The HBO And DVD Versions.
