The friendly Sesame Street character Elmo goes on an adventure. His favourite blue blanket has been taken away. So Elmo travels to the smelly home of Oscar the Grouch in order to get it back. Look out for appearances by Oscar, Ernie and Bert.

Film Trivia

• In the vein of the Muppet movies, this film features a number of notable cameo appearances from stars including Vanessa Williams. Long-time Muppet performers Jerry Nelson and Frank Oz also have prominent roles.
• Because the character of Elmo is so popular, particularly with toy manufacturers, he is the highest paid Muppeteer ever. His contract with the toy companies means that he gets a huge chunk of the profits!
• Writer Mitchell Kriegman was formerly a writer on the long-running sketch show ‘Saturday Night Live’. He has since written episodes of ‘Winnie the Pooh’.
• The Sesame Street set was raised up so that the puppeteers could stand while performing, rather than having to crouch.
