This is a DVD of an episode. I did not realize that I guess I should have checked it out better before I bought. The episode was good but not what I was looking for.

Toddlers love it + Joe Williams 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
My sons love this we had it on videotape and when our machine imploded and we decided to switch completely to DVD we purchased it again. They still enjoy it just as much and the picture quality seems better.
I grew up with sesame street and they still are the best when it comes to childrens programs. I had parents who exposed me to jazz. I love it and so do my sons so seeing the legendary Joe Williams perform Birdland Jump at the "Birdland" club was worth purchasing this alone. (If your parents were jazz fans you will love this subtle nod to jazz traditions and Charlie Parker.)
The dance teacher character has a loud voice but not unlike the voice a teacher would use to be heard over a room full of active kids who are all taking at once, to me it did not seem annoying - a matter of taste.
In fairness to the other reviewers the plot is Bigbird throwing a dance party. This is not a dance lesson theme, there are other dance step/fitness oriented DVD's by Sesame Street including one that features Paula Abdul and Zoe Monster.
Editorial Review:
When it's your teddy bear's birthday, you want to celebrate in style! That's why Big Bird is throwing a dance party for Radar. Everyone's getting into the act, and they're doing all their favorite dances! So put on your dancing shoes and get ready to party Sesame Street style!

Fun and educational!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
I bought this DVD for my 1 year old son. I am very selective in what I will let him watch, and only allow him to watch TV occasionally. This is a good selection for it's educational value. I like that it exposes him to Spanish, and he likes it because it is colorful and lively.
Plaza Sesamo: Lola Aventras 3 out of 5 stars.

I own several DVD's in the collection; I found this specific title really unimpressive. It's OK; I thought that they could've made it better.
Not bad... 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
The DVD isn't bad, but it's a little 'cheap' and pretty repetitive. Don't get me wrong, the colors are nice and my daughter speaks Spanish so the educational value is good. The South American accents are annoying though to be honest (granted I am Puerto Rican). I wouldn't buy it again, but my 3 year old daughter doesn't mind it.

By far the worst we own 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
(1.5/5 stars) In this video, some of Elmo's Sesame Street friends tell him all about the wonders of school, such as learning to share and listening to the teacher sing the alphabet song. It is not an exaggeration to state that is as exciting as this video gets. It all begins with a halting start as Gabi and Miles, two of the kids who grew up on Sesame Street, get ready to graduate high school. This provides the cause for them to reminisce about their first day of school, which they proceed to do in excruciating detail. Then, it's Baby Bear's turn to recall his first day of school, where Mother Goose was the teacher. There was potential here for something interesting to happen because Baby Bear's classmates are characters from Mother Goose rhymes. Unfortunately, that is where development of the concept ends since the characters are given nothing fun to do or say. The one idea that is somewhat cute is Hansel and Gretel act like Hans and Franz, the Kevin Nealon and Dana Carvey characters who mimicked Arnold Schwarzenegger on Saturday Night Live about twenty years ago. Any apparent cleverness in this idea is probably lost on the intended audience, since pre-schoolers likely have no idea who Hans and Franz, let alone the Governator, are.
The folks behind Sesame Street are normally reliable for producing educational material that also happens to be entertaining for both children and adults. It is not apparent to me what they were thinking when producing this video because the entertainment value is almost non-existent. Aside from "The Alphabet Song," which is sung by Gabi and Miles' human teacher, the only other song is "Elmo's Off to School." Kids might know this from Elmo's "Greatest Hits" CD, though they might not stay awake long enough to make it to the segment where he sings it. Additionally, there aren't any classic Sesame Street clips, new animation clips or merriment of any other sort to break the monotony of these sketches. This video is as dull as dull can be. I'll give them a half star for trying something different and one star for the educational value, but awarding two out of five stars would be too generous.

Brings back great memories 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
This DVD/video will bring back sesame street memories from your childhood! Today's kids do not realize or care how 1970's it is. They love it! We would watch it in our daycare center a lot! It has a lot of great songs.
Diversity - Sesame Style 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
In a recent interview, Sonia Manzano (Maria) said she didn't realize until she was touring that many people in the US had never seen a Latino other than on Sesame Street.As a half-Latin Midwesterner who grew up in the '70s, I can attest that this aspect of Sesame Street made a big difference in my life. This video is all about this wonderful side of Sesame Street.
Herry Monster anchors a "Monster Report" about kids, which cuts to a series of song clips like "Skin," "Fixing My Hair," and "Faces;" and then bring things back around to show Gladys the Cow and Buster the Horse singing "Different Yet the Same" and rounds it all off with "We All Sing With the Same Voice" Terrific handling of a touchy subject.
My toddler loves this video, and I do, too - and it has Elmo in it for the diehards. It's out of print - buy it if you can find it!
Editorial Review:
Everyone’s Favorite anchormonster, Herry, hosts "The Monster Report," a song-filled investigative news show which asks kids "who are they and what do they look like?" Ace reporters Elmo, The Count and Telly find that kids come in lots of shapes, colors and sizes. The catchy "One Thousand Faces" and "I Want To Be Me," will have kids singing and clapping along, as they discover that No matter how different they seem on the outside, they’re all just kids.
