very cute video September 14, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
My son is really liking this video. While the video only shows Elmo on the potty in the beginning, it focuses a lot on listening to your body which I like. It has a nice feel of patience about it--it explains to kids that learning how to use the potty is a process, that accidents will happen and that that's ok. The video celebrates potty time and growing up, getting big-kid underpants and going forward at your own pace. Unlike a prior reviewer, I love the part where the different children are talking about the different names they use for pee or poo or whatever your family chooses to call it. One of the things that makes Sesame Street so great is the diversity of people and thought to which it exposes our children. And about Elmo's daddy having an accent? I believe it is what one would call an African American accent. You should have no problem understanding him at all.

I agree with the other reviewers. THERE IS LITTLE IF ANY POTTY TRAINING CONTENT. Elmo and friends just chants "potty is good", "potty is cool", etc. throughout the overly long video. Can you really convince a toddler who has always been in diapers that just because "potty is cool" to go pee/poop in the toilet? I think not.
The video is also overly long, close to an hour. My son who LOVES Elmo got bored after about 20 minutes. I am glad that I borrowed it from the library and didn't waste any money buying this video.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this one. My daughter loves Elmo and is not yet potty trained so I thought this might be something. Indeed it is! This one somehow verges on the bizarre with its potty fixation....I am not sure I approve of this for kids but it sure is funny for an adult.
 excellent potty dvd! August 30, 2006

My 2 year old LOVES this dvd. He asks for it several times a day. It presents potty concepts in a great way, and it's captivating for kids. We haven't made a whole lot of potty training progress since we've gotten it, but it's only been a week. I just wish it showed Elmo, or some of the other muppets actually sitting on the potty, since I think that would motivate my son.

Although Elmo's World videos tend to be pretty reliable in quality, other Sesame Street videos featuring Elmo can range from great to absolutely dreary. I'm sorry to report that this belongs to the latter group.
Basically, they've assembled a clip job of old song segments loosely (sometimes mystifying so) related to toileting, and then shot some cheap-looking "story" segues to bind the whole thing together. The result is a totally uncoordinated mess. I don't know what coherent message about toileting any kid would get from this video. And to the extent that they stay at all on-message, it's clumsily executed. Compare this with something like Elmo's Musical Adventure -- which was carefully thought through from start to finish, with footage completely written and shot especially for that video -- and that puts this one to shame.
Ordinarily I wouldn't get so annoyed by a subpar Elmo video. But to unload junk like this on a topic as important as tolieting is inexcusable. Buy "Potty Time With Bear" or "Once Upon a Potty" instead, and avoid this one altogether.
