Sesame Street - A Celebration of Me, Grover (2010) ReviewMy 18-month-old duaghter absolutely loves this video! It was a gift from Gandma overseas and was the only one on VHS that she could find in the store. My daughter likes this video better than the collection of Elmo's World videos we have.
The video is done on a theme of a roast for Grover (or, as they say, a "roost", so as not to offend the chickens attending). All the honored guests at the roast are the Sesame Street regulars like Ernie, Bert, Big Bird, Oscar, Cookie Monster, Elmo and Zoe. They all take turns talking about the qualities they think make Grover special. A classic Grover video clip -- some dating back to the 70s -- follows each speech.
All the classic Grover clips are very funny. My daughter's favorite is of Grover singing a song that demonstrates the meaning of "around", "over", "under", "through", "near", and "far". Grover runs all over the place trying to explain these words physically until, at the end, he finally collapses from exhaustion.
Another great skit is a 70s disco of the ABC song. The set for the scene is straight out of Saturday Night Fever and the lyrics to the song are "Now I know my ABCs, won't you come and boogie with me?"
Every skit will make both child and parent smile. Get this video!Sesame Street - A Celebration of Me, Grover (2010) Overview

Stormy Weather (1943) ReviewVaguely based on the life of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson himself, STORMY WEATHER offers the story of a WWI vet who falls in love with a singer--and under her influence goes into show business, only to find that their careers draw them in different directions. As a story, it is pretty slim stuff... but as a collection of musical turns by some of the early 1940s best black talent, it simply can't be beat.
Robinson was, of course, one of the truly great dancers of his era. Made late in his career, this film doesn't really manage to capture the scope of his talents, but he remains a constant joy to watch. A very young and remarkably beautiful Lena Horne also offers several enjoyable songs, including one that she would go on to perform with increasing sophistocation and ultimately make entirely her own: the title tune "Stormy Weather." In addition to Calloway and Horne, STORMY WEATHER offers great performances by such under-filmed artists as Cab Calloway, Katherine Dunham, Fats Waller (performing his signature tune, "Ain't Misbehaving"), the brillant Nicholas Brothers, and Ada Brown, as well as the popular comic actor Dooley Wilson. Expect nothing from the story, but you won't be disappointed by this rare glimpse at some truly remarkable talents.Stormy Weather (1943) Overview
