We enjoy this film in our house and the music is very cute, Elmo is sweet, his little adventure into Grouchland is fun and all of the good things you come to expect from Sesame Street. There is one thing that stands out as being kind of wonky, though: Elmo happens upon Zoe, who is crying because her father had to work and couldn't take her out. Elmo consoles her by allowing her to hold his precious blanket and when he decides he'd like it back, she replies, "In a minute, Elmo." So Elmo says, "Elmo wants his blanket back now." The ensuing tug of war ends up with a rip in the blanket which then gets lost in a series of unfortunate events. The problem here is that when Elmo asked for his blanket back, Zoe should have given it to him and thanked him rather than insisting on holding it to the point where he had to forcibly try to reclaim it. Now the blanket also wouldn't have ripped if Zoe hadn't been fighting to hold onto an item that wasn't hers and which had been requested returned by the owner. I think the story goes on to teach kids to not be selfish and greedy like Huxley, and at one point the Queen of Trash compares Elmo to Huxley because Elmo wanted his own blanket back. There's a difference between Huxley, who took anything and everything and made it his, and Elmo who rightfully owned his blanket. Kids shouldn't be forced to share. Kids should not be taught that anyone OWES them their stuff, that when they borrow something they can refuse to return it and so on. Ultimately the film is cute and had some funny bits and nice songs, but the message is a real stinker.
