Only time will tell
The main points are that this video discusses the concept of going from needing your parents help to do lots of things, especially changing a diaper- to being a "big kid" and being able to do things on your own, like eating and walking and using the bathroom. It puts emphasis on recognizing your body's internal cues for hunger, thirst, and to use the bathroom. It also stresses proper hygiene and hand washing, conservation of toilet paper, and that every creature uses the bathroom in their own way, as well as suggesting various names for animal waste (poo, doo, dookie, number one, numero dos, pee, wee, etc).
My son has loved this video for a while - I got it for him when he was 9 months old and now he is one year and he still stays enthralled for the entire duration of the video. His favorite segments are the handwashing segment, the MC Frontalot rap about how toilet paper is made, the Elmo and Prarie Dawn segment about the steps involved with using the potty and getting to use "big kid underwear," the gorilla segment about listening to your body, and the dirty diaper blues segment with little kids running around in diapers. Oh wow. He also loves the "You're a big kid now" song and the "trying and trying again" song with the kids and kitten trying different new things.
I guess that's about 95% of the video right there - the only part that loses his attention is when Grover sings about how "Accidents Happen." Which stinks, because I love Grover - er LOVED Grover, when I was a kid that is. Oh well.
This video holds his attention and he yells back at Elmo and Co. (in that baby babble way) and he now gives me the time I need to wash my hands after changing his diaper, whereas before he used to scream like the dickens. It all takes time though - and even though he's probably got another year before he'll be potty-trained and at least 6 months before I actually try to sit him on a potty, I'm glad that he is getting a basic introduction to the procedures and concepts involved.

Good start video for potty training
My son will be turning 2 in a few weeks and we bought this video to get his started since he loves Elmo so much. Although it is a different format than "Elmo's World" and more of a "Sesame Street" format, he still loves it and his Elmo is in the starring role. He has gone pp in his Elmo potty twice (hopefully more to come!). We are just taking things slow, one step at a time and I believe this DVD is a great tool for getting things started!

not for mine..maybe for older kids
So My 2 1/2 yr old son absolutely loves elmo. so I got him this dvd to help him get fully potty trained. I put it on for him, and would not even watch it at all. i tried four different days... and nothing. it is more for older children who can comprehend more. maybe pre-k or older. I will be trying another dvd. if you can, rent or borrow this one before you buy.

daughter loved it
we bought this for my daughter when she was a little over 2. she loves elmo's world. when we got serious about potty training at 2 yrs 9months we played this a lot and she LOVED it. she would ask for it over and over and it is pretty funny. she would sit on her little potty for the whole dvd at times. she loves the 'accidents happen' song and it made her like the topic of the 'potty' whereas before she just always said no when we asked her to sit on the potty.

Two year old loves this video!
We bought this video to introduce potty training to my daughter at the age of two. She still insists on watching it at least once a day 7 months later. To her it is just another Elmo video, like Elmo Goes to the Doctor, and Elmo Goes to School. They are all three very similar as they are set up more like an episode of Sesame Street instead of an Elmo's World DVD. The songs are cute and the video is very enjoyable for a toddler. I do not think that this is a miracle video that will train your child for you. This is more of an introduction to the process. I think it would be great for the toddler who is scared to use the potty.
I would like to mention though that several other reviews have claimed that there are no scenes with someone actually on the potty...this is not true. The very first scene of the movie shows a much younger Elmo sitting and singing on his potty chair the day his dad brings it home. There is also a second scene towards the end of the movie where there is an outdoor party of sorts where children are playing outside in diapers and one girls grabs her mommy to go inside and use the potty. They show her take her diaper off and sit on the grown up potty.
Overall, my family really enjoys this video. I highly recommend purchasing this video as an introduction to potty training and would be great to bring home with the new potty seat.

Potty Propaganda works wonders
Despite my objections to Elmo in general, this video is pretty good. My 2-year old daughter enjoyed it from the beginning and is very interested in what Curly Bear did in her potty. I only wish we saw more puppets/people/animals/monsters actually going potty. There is quite a bit of talk of pottying but not much actual pottying going on.
I do think, though, that the emphasis on trying to go, not wearing diapers, and listening to your body work well. My kid loves Elmo but this is the only Elmo concession I have been willing to make. It does have catchy songs and she enjoys dancing to the 'factory' part. The "Stomp" inspired section is her other favorite.

Not worth it!
So we like Sesame Street and all, but Elmo is so hard to understand and the content is ridiculous. I honestly tried to get enthused but my 2.5 year old wasn't having it! We watched it maybe 10 times and not once did we get more than 5 minutes into it.
