Sesame Street: 40 Years Of Sunny Days

I bought this for my 3 year old and was looking forward to the nostalgia too if I'm honest. It hasn't disappointed at all!! all the clips are great and varied; learning about emotions, counting, alphabet, singing, slapstick, rhyming, community spirit.. its absolutely packed with so many unexpected delights, lots of catchy tunes.. Kermit, Bert and Ernie, Elmo, Big Bird, cookie monster. Admittedly it took a couple of views before my son truly got into it, but now he loves it. In fact it's such a shame there is nothing quite of its standard in today's tv. The only small point is my son has now learned the alphabet the old fashioned way instead of the now taught 'phonetics', but i'm sure it wont be a big problem. Sesame Street is an absolute crafted treasure and one of the few things that we can both sit down and enjoy. Genius. Highly recommended!

My 3-year old loves this DVD and would rather watch it than TV. I bought it for nostalgia reasons and because I felt the standard of the programme is better that a lot of stuff on kids TV now. I do end up re-playing the Ladybug Song several times for my son and the David Beckham and Elmo clip for me!

My four-year-old son has a very short attention span when it comes to cartoons and similar things.This dvd is not only educational and fun, it is also contagious. he can sit and watch for half an hour straight. I often find myself singing "C is for cookie" or "Elmo's song" together with my son.Felicia form Croatia

I was born in '69 and enjoy the reminiscing. My two-year-old now is laughing to cookie monster, Ernie's banana in his ear... And he's counting with the show and trying to get the alphabet. Don't hesitate. Sesame Street was and IS still lovely.

I played this for the children.One age 3 advanced for his age and 1 aged 1 little girl. My son loves the cooky monster in the early episodes.I found myself remembering the tunes. My little girl loved the musical sessions! I found myself unexpectidly enjoying myself! Remembering when i was once little. Nice memorys. You can also play seperate seasons which is good as it shows you clips so as you know what can be viewd. The second dvd is more up to date clothing of the cast changes from the 60,ys? And modern singers join in. Then it take you up to the moddern Birt and Earny.Which I think are absolutly brill! Ye big kid I know! Takes some time to play them all. Brill value for money! I will be putting them on again!

I loved Sesame Street whilst growing up and still do! I wanted to share my fondest memories with my 2 year old and this did exactly that!She loves Cookie monster like I did, and sings along with the kids and monsters!!! It the best DVD I have bought for her.

A perfect sampling of the 40 years of Sesame Street greatness. It was an excellent introduction to the series for my 4 yr old. He absolutely loves it and it gives me great pleasure to watch him enjoy something that I enjoyed so much as a child.

Purchased for my grand-daughter (honestly!!)My own children were brought up watching Sesame Street and today's children's programmes do not come even close to the educational aspect of these shows.Yes there are a lot of clips as opposed to actual programmes,but we all watched over Christmas with enjoyment and my grand-daughter absolutely loves it.

All the great hits my grandkids and I love it

E' tutto in inglese (con possibilità di sottotitoli in inglese). E' riccamente educativo, assai divertente e vario. Piacerà molto ai bambini ma anche agli adulti intelligenti.

Muy recomendable para los peques de la casa y aprender inglés. Un clásico de la televisión que a todos nos ha hecho reír.

D'abord la livraison a été déplorable, article commandé un jeudi, promis de livraison samedi (parfait pour l'anniversaire de mon petit-fils bilingue), TNT ne l'as pas livre le samedi, ni le lundi. Ils sont passés mardi (sans m'en informer) et comme il n'y avait personne sont partis avec le colis pour le déposer le lendemain dans un point relais. Bref je l'ai récupéré le vendredi suivant mais mon petit-fils était déjà parti.J'ai été très déçu du contenu de 2 DVD, la sélection contient beaucoup trop de chansons qui ont peu d'intérêt pour les enfants au détriment du contenu plus pédagogique pour apprendre à lire, à compter et à apprendre l'espagnol.

I thought this was an excellent product for the money! For me, as well as many others, we knew exactly what we were paying for (you really expected 40 complete seasons for $20? That's 50 cents a season... come on.) This is basically the 'best-of'... there are 2-3 segments from the first 40 seasons of the show. My kid absolutely loves it, and if you feel like watching it with them but are interested in any historical facts or tidbits, there is a special feature to turn on the pop-ups facts while you watch. (Which kids will decide if they want to pay attention to or not, but I think they're cool. Like now I know that Big Birds birthday is Nov 2nd!!)As far as the episode of Mr. Hoopers death, the adults explain to Big Bird that Mr. Hooper is not coming back, "Just because." It's not scary - it is sad, though. But death is a part of life. They don't say "he was old" because children think their parents are old, and they don't say "he was sick" because children get sick and their friends get sick all the time. "Just because" was good for Big Bird to hear. All in all, for $20 this is 2.5-3 hours of good entertainment for the lil ones... and admittedly, I liked it too. :)
