 Entertaining and Educational July 12, 2008
D. Dorsey (The South, USA)

My toddler son really loves Elmo and he loves this video. I have to say that I enjoy it also. It teaches about the outdoors including animals, seasons and the weather. The count comes along and even teaches some counting.
As a parent, I really appreciate videos that are entertaining and educational for my children to watch. And even more, I appreciate the ones that adults can enjoy also because we end up watching them over and over again with our children.
I recommend The Great Outdoors and look forward to getting other Elmo's World videos.
My Twin 2-Year-Old Boys' Favorite Elmo March 29, 2008

We have about 10 Elmo DVDs, and this one is the boys' favorite. They particularly love the first segment about wild animals.
One of Elmo's Best July 27, 2007
Mom2Twins (Houston, TX United States)
My twin boys are almost a year old and we have most of the Elmo's World DVDs. If your kids like Elmo, and most seem to, The Great Outdoors is a good one to have. My boys LOVE this one. They kick and laugh while watching Elmo, the other puppets, and even dumb Mr. Noodle. They enjoy the part in the beginning where Elmo introduces the wild animals. They also like it when Elmo counts, but their favorite section is the one on fishes, especially when Dorothy imagines Elmo as different types of fishes.
I am surprised that a reviewer said this one scared her child. Maybe it would be worth trying it again. We have never had that problem and one of our boys startles easily. The tornado does have a silly voice, but not bad. It says "you can't play outside when I'm around."
This disc always holds their attention and makes them smile. I recommend it. I wish they liked the others as much. Our boys' other favorites are: Pets; Food, Water & Exercise; Flowers, Bananas & more; Reach for the Sky, and Sing Yourself Silly.
 Not for everyone. May 31, 2007
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America)
Hmmm. Well, some people love Elmo, some people hate him. My daughter kind of likes him, although I try and keep exposure to a minimum... I'm an old-school Sesame Street fan, but I've always loathed Elmo's super-cutesiness and vacuuous presentation. This video is okay -- there is some admirable educational content, but jeez, is Elmo whiny. And at some point in every episode there'd come a moment when I could swear I could hear my kid's brain cells popping. It's hard to find intelligent, inoffensive, unscary, nonviolent media for toddlers to enjoy, and with Elmo, I'd say two out of four ain't bad... On balance, I'd say this disc -- like other "Elmo's World" videos -- has its merits, but there are parts of it that are a little insulting to the intelligence of little viewers. Parents might want to preview it first, not because it's scary or whatever, but just to see if it's really what they want to have flooding their kid's mind. I finally decided it was too dumb, and am looking for better material. "Little Bear," maybe?
Elmo's World hepls expose your children to the real world January 15, 2007
OK, i read some of the other reviews and just shook my head at some peoples reaction to this DD even i ahd my dad read this and he agreed, I have a 1 year old ad 3 year olkd sister, I'll come in the room and watch it with them sometimes, when Prarie Dawn gets blown away all the 1-year old does is say bye bye and if our little neighbor mario is over he will giggle and join in and before you knoiw it 3 toddlers watching this part having a GRAND old time watching that part when older kids are screaming in panic, try to expose your children to their fear little by little, thats how my parents got me to get over my fear of escaltors when I was 7, just expose it to them little by little and tell them the wolf isn;t going to get them, hey there are worse things my friend went face to face with a wolf when he was 8! a real one too when he was fishinbg with his sister, luckily the wolf was just after the fish strangly. Back to the DVD, the other part parents claim is scary with the tornado the 3-year old says COOL! Hey they havce to learn about torbadoes in 3rd grade, the last thing you want is your kid screming and crying because they see a tornado adn start calling the kid cry baby. Try to expose the kids to this slowly, this is not the headless horseman we're dealing with, its just foam puppets that are trying to educate our children about the world. Nobody can hide their little babies inside when they r 40 years old to hide them of the dangers of the world, they need to expierence the world, if you know what I mean learn about it, learn about strangers, weather, etc anything about the world so they are prepared when they go out on their own in this cruel world when they grow up. So parents, try to get them to watch this little by little and not ban them from this tape because they teach them about the WORLD. I know this is coming from a 13 year old but at least try to expose them to this video alittle bit.
