    A time before Elmo when Cookie Monster could eat as many cookies as he wanted (as well as cars) and everybody thought Snuffy was just in Big Bird imagination.

    This was one of my absolute favorite movies when I was little and I still love it. I haven't seen it in a while so hopefully it'll still be great when I see it again.

    I think this was the first major film release with the Sesame Street crew. The story is simple and full of the muppets and characters from the Sesame Street world. Good movie for kids. Otherwise I would just skip it.
