This DVD is amazing. The clever ways of making music (mostly percussive) with everyday objects made for such entertaining viewing, and of course STOMP is always a treat to watch.
The main problem with this DVD is that it is TOO SHORT. Sure, it is 40 minutes but it was so interesting and entertaining for us and our 18-month old that we wanted more. We only watch a few minutes of TV with her at one time but with this one we were tempted to sit and watch number after number. (OK, we didn't, but we were tempted to.) After she went to bed we watched it from beginning to end. The tuba bit with Bert in the park is so good we watched it twice.
Another nice thing about this DVD is that there is no annoying unskippable "advertising" at the beginning as so many Sesame Street DVDs seem to have. For that reason I usually buy VHS unless a reviewer says you can go right to the menu from the beginning.
Strangely, it seems that if one of the sketches is from the original Sesame Street, then the date of publication is listed as 1969. Most of this DVD was new material. As other reviewers have mentioned, the animated number pinball sketch was here, in a bit more organized fashion (only one number) than it appears on The Street We Live On. That said, the new numbers are well chosen. The only one I was a bit bored by was the girls and their playground "grandma's sick in bed" routine, and that was only because in teaching the younger child how to do it they repeated it several times. But doing this allows for the audience to give it a try, so perhaps that's the point.
Overall this is one of the best Sesame Street videos I have seen, and I have been looking for good ones for a while. The intro song done by two members of Stomp is almost worth the price alone.
Stomp is great! August 10, 2004
This video is a great introduction to music and rhythm. Just wonderful! Our kids (and my husband) can watch this over and over without getting bored. The toddlers especially like the dance segments with children. This is one of our Saturday morning favorites along with Sesame Street's Peter and the Wolf and is one of the best S. Street videos we've seen. A bit dated in parts, as they have pulled segments from older programs it seems. But STOMP adds a fun and instructive new twist to the video.
 Another Amazon Sesame Street DVD listed incorrectly as 1969. May 24, 2004

This is a really fun DVD. My daughter enjoys it a lot.
The only problem is that Amazon lists these Sesame Street DVDs as from 1969. I purchased a few of them to discover that only portions, such as the pinball count video, are from the original Sesame Street. The majority of the scenes are not from my generation at all! Otherwise, it's a swell DVD!
Stomp + Sesame Street = GREAT STUFF for little ones May 12, 2004
The cast of Stomp visits Sesame Street in this fantastic DVD. In the usual Sesame Street style, there is a general plot line (Telly loses his Tuba) intertwined with short bits and cartoons all related to making music. The Stomp cast crosses in and out of the plot, making music with brooms, cans, boxes of Tic Tacs, etc. Very creative and very charming. My 14-month-old loves this video. He's just starting to try to make "music" along with the video, usually using an oatmeal box or pots and pans that I put nearby for him to use. Great stuff, including the "Pinball" cartoon (counting to 12) that I loved to watch when I was little.
FAVORITE SESAME January 20, 2004

We just purchased this DVD for my daughter who is 9 mos old, I happen to think I enjoy it more than even she does! We love Sesame Street and think this is one of the most entertaining! I wish STOMP would come back to make another DVD for us !
