In fact, they are inseparable... a perfect team. Elmo would never let anything happen to it-until a tug-of-war with his friend Zoe sends his beloved blanket into a faraway land and Elmo in hot pursuit.

Facing life without his cherished blanket, Elmo summons all of his courage and determination and sets off on an action-packed rescue mission that plunges him into Grouchland-a place full of grouchy creatures, stinky garbage and the villainous Huxley (Mandy Patinkin). There, Elmo learns an important lesson about sharing. [More]

The character is bereft of subtlety, the lessons are simple, loud, and clear, and there is a suprising dearth of comedy.

The film is nothing if not benign, but its merits are moot for those above 7 or so.

How does it end? With a headache, of course, from all those cheering children.

Kids who love Barney or the Muppets will undoubtedly feel right at home.

The Jim Henson folks, who earlier this year gave us Muppets from Space, come up with another winner.

There are enough audience participation scenes to keep young children from getting restless.

Most patient adults may want to strangle the impish Elmo within the first 10 minutes of this movie.
