Rating: 3.0
Look at other Elmo DVD's first
We are huge fans of Elmo in this family. My 2 yr old niece and 8 mo old daughter love the Elmo's World Series. However, this DVD is probably intended for kids that are a little older than 3 and can understand more complex subject matter than the usual Elmo's World format. One thing we love about the "usual" Elmo format is that any age can enjoy and really learn. Especially for us with kids under 2. This Firehouse series takes this subject very seriously. I am not saying we should not take fire's serious however, this is Elmo! Thank God that in the middle of this DVD there was the Elmo's World format that we are familar with...but at the beginning, you have a very serious incident with Hooper's Store and a fire. The music in the background was very foreboding as well..I could not tell if we were watching Elmo or an after-school special. I also felt that we were dupped by the producers use of a "filler" at the end of the DVD---Hero Guy. IF we wanted to watch "Hero Guy" we would of purchased that. Please don't place that on our beloved Elmo DVD's! Instead, the Elmo's World that we love is probably only about 18 min on this DVD...the rest is for older kids or just filler. I would buy other Elmo DVD's before this one if you have children under 3.
