Customer Rating: Summary: Great way to introduce children to a Museum and the world of Art Comment: My title says it all. It is a wonderful way for parents to introduce the cultural aspect into their childrens' world Customer Rating: Summary: The best of all things Sesame Street. Comment: I have not seen this in YEARS, yet it is still fresh in my mind. I just bought it off the Met website and am going to look into converting it to DVD. I am 22, and I want to be able to show this to my children. It is still probably one of my favorite movies (well, more of an hour long show) of all time, topping many things considered "grown up". There really is no children's programming like this anymore. Get it while you can. Customer Rating: Summary: AWESOME! Comment: Best Sesame Street movie ever. It started my love for all things Egyptian, and for museums! I now work in one, and on my days off, I travel around going to other museums! This movie sparked my obsession. It is educational, and something no child will forget! Customer Rating: Summary: Best Ever Comment: I am one of those kids who grew up watching this video. Nineteen years after first seeing the video, I went as a college student last for the first time to the Met, taking snapshots of all of the important artifacts from "Don't Eat The Pictures".
Oddly enough, I really believe that this movie was a large contributing factor to my choice of archaeology as a career. This movie is a classic. It encourages real world participation and is still able to make me laugh. As soon as I have children, this will be the first video that they ever watch. Customer Rating: Summary: A night at the museum, Sesame Street style! Comment: I first saw this film back in 1983. I must have been about seven. I remember when it first premiered on PBS (Channel 11 in Chicago, where I grew up). My sister and I were allowed to stay up late on a Sunday night just to watch it. Then I didn't see it again for many years until I found it for sale on Amazon.
It's such a cute video. The adults of Sesame Street take Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Grover, and some of the kids to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Just as the museum is about to close, Big Bird says that Snuffy was supposed to meet him. Of course this draws a lot of moans and groans from the adults, as Snuffy wouldn't make his debut for two more years. Big Bird sneaks away to find Snuffy just as the museum is closing! It becomes a game of cat and mouse as the night guard is sure that something weird is going on and the gang just slips by him. But the biggest story is that Snuffy and Big Bird meet an ancient Egyptian prince named Sahou. Sahou has been trying to get into Heaven for 3,000 years but he can't because he can't answer a riddle. Big Bird and Snuffy come to the rescue to come up with the answer.
There are also some cute little songs in here, like "Mothers and Children," sung by Olivia, "Don't eat the Pictures," done by Cookie Monster and the Girls, and "You'll get Home Soon," by Big Bird and Sahou. I liked this video and I plan to share it with my own children someday because it opens up the world of art appreciation to them. Very well done. And no Elmo!
