As a child I remember watching and enjoying Sesame Street and now I still get to watch it and enjoy it with my own children. We recently received Sesame Street: 20 Years and Still Counting and what a treat it was being able to watch it with my own children.
It was a nice surprise to insert the DVD and not have to wait through 2-3 advertisements to watch the movie. This disc has a quick play feature that is a must in the house!
Sesame Street: 20 Years and Still Counting DVD Review
My children have been watching Sesame Street for pretty much all their lives and they were super excited to sit down and watch this DVD. The show gets off to a pretty slow start for the children, but it was quite entertaining for me. It starts out with a little history lesson and my children who are all 7 and under could have cared less. Sesame Street: 20 Years and Still Counting is hosted by the one and only, Bill Cosby, and features special appearances by Jim Henson, Kermit the Frog, Ray Charles and Placido Domingo. My children were absolutely thrilled to see Kermit the Frog but couldn’t appreciate the other special guests.
While the movie did provide some educational entertainment for the children, it really didn’t hold their attention very well. When timeless favorites like Big Bird and Grover hit the screen you couldn’t pull them away, but the interviews and clips from past episodes weren’t their thing.
I think my young children were too young to appreciate this movie. I think the movie is more suitable if you have older children who might appreciate the history of this movie or if nothing else, buy it for yourself.
