Fantastic. They loved it. "The kids said it made them feel 'happy, happy, happy.'" One little boy said it made him feel proud. Another said he liked all Muppet babies. They easily identified Big Bird, Cookie Monster and Prairies Dawn and were absolutely delighted when Baby Elmo showed up. Kids danced along and sang along. Kids needed initial encouragement to participate but once they felt secure in the idea that they could move around the room without concern, they danced, jumped, flew and generally enjoyed the film. "I liked it! I want to do it too!" Two kids cried when it ended.
How can you not like this? Adorable puppets - based on familiar characters. Baby Muppets crawl, walk and run with amazing realism. Plus, they represent various ages, races and genders. Big Bird is taken care of by his Hawaiian grandmother; Baby Elmo and his Dad interact; Prairie Dawn plays with Mom. Encourages interaction between parent and child without which you wouldn't get the same affect. Music is catch - it suggests and encourages movement. There is a continuity of activities but is divided into sections suitable for a child's attention span.
Meant for parents to enjoy with their young children and explore all kinds of movement. When you laugh, sing, talk and move together, you build your child's self-esteem and eagerness to explore and learn. Starring Sarah Jessica Parker.
