Elmo's musical adventure
This is a great way to introduce children or students to Peter and the Wolf and orchestral instruments. My music appreciation class loved it and they remembered the instruments much better than from the audio tape I used previously. There is a little creative deviation from the original Peter and the Wolf story, but it didn't really interfere with the presentation. We loved it!

Present for Nieces
I bought this as a gift for my nieces. They love Sesame Street. So, they will love this DVD.

complete disappointment
This disk is a lot of sesame street characters and very little music and very little of the original story. I did not even bother to give it to my grandchildren... just threw it away. If anyone wants to hear the story of Peter and the Wolf read to the original music... get something else.

great educational film
My children love elmo and they like this movie a lot too. It's not as good as "Elmo Goes to Grouchland," but for obvious reasons. Grouchland had a better budget, lots of singing and dancing and was educational as well.

Fun with instruments
As a music teacher, I am looking for ways to encourage learning. This DVD includes games for the children after they have viewed it. It incorporates learning instruments with the recognizable characters of Sesame Street. Fun for me as well as fun for the kids.

Fun and Well Done
We rented this for our [...] daughter and she loved it so much we watched it every day until it was due. Now she is four and really into musical instruments, so I bought it for her. She loves it and now is asking for her own violin, tuba, drums and piano!!

O.K.
This video is good for children who want to learn about an orchastra. It is hard to keep a younger child interested (2-3yrs). Adults will probably enjoy it with their children and take the time to review the parts of the story with the child so it will stick. I rate it average. Good for kindergarten and such.

Don't judge on first viewing
The first time my 2 1/2 year old daughter and I sat down to watch this, I thought it was a bomb. She lost interest and I kept waiting for the "Peter and the Wolf" part to begin. After we watched it again (and knowing where it was going) we really enjoyed it.
Now my daughter requests it at least one a day and has supplimented this with listening to the narrated recording that we have on CD. It is her favorite video and she names and recognizes all the different instruments and is beginning to pick out those instruments on other recordings.
What you do have to content with during this story is Baby Bear and his Father. This is the only part where we lose interest. Granted, I'm not a fan of their's, but they are annoying!
The rest of the story is top notch and the blending of the Sesame Street story with the traditional one is well done.
Also, the games that are provided are a nice touch. We just wish there was more of seeing the orchestra play.

Great DVD
Our 19th month old son LOVES this DVD. We are sesame street fanatics and this is probably in the top 5. We also recommend
Kids's Favorite Songs 2, A Magical Halloween Adventure, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street & Sesame Street's 25th Birthday.

Sesame Street's "Peter & the Wolf" is Brilliant
This video is brilliant, but I had not realized how brilliant until a few days ago when we picked up a book version of the story. [We have owned this tape for about 2 years.]
As we were going along my 3 year-old son was humming various --and appropriate!-- sections of the music that corresponded to the action on the page.
In addition, my 5 year-old daughter was telling me about what instrument was used to portray the characters. When I was humming she reminded me that I should try to sound more like an oboe (for the duck).
So Five BIG Stars for this video. Not only does it tell the classic Prokofiev tale, but it opened the doors to musical composition in ways that I had not even dared to hope for. Bravo!
