Elmo’s Alphabet Challenge Features Over 50 Minutes of Brand-New Sesame Street Content and Hilarious Video Game Spoofs!
Elmo is up for a new challenge as Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, and Warner Home Video (WHV) release Elmo’s Alphabet Challenge on DVD August 14, 2012 at a SRP of $14.98. Elmo’s Alphabet Challenge features brand new made-for-video content including seven hilarious video game spoofs and five catchy new Sesame Street songs.
Elmo and friends are up to the challenge – an Alphabet Challenge
– as they embark on an all-new learning adventure. Abby is excited to
show her friends her new Fairy Fly Pad, a magical tablet loaded with
cool games. But with a simple tap they accidentally get trapped inside
the video game world of A. B. C-more, a mischievous elf obsessed with
the alphabet. In order to return to Sesame Street, the friends must defeat A.B.C-more in different video game challenges that test their knowledge of the entire alphabet.
Elmo’s Alphabet Challenge
is much more than just ABC-related fun! The DVD focuses primarily on
early literacy skills; and through these skills children begin to
recognize the name of letters in the alphabet
and understand letter-sound relationships. Children will also learn
about task persistence and overcoming obstacles as they stay focused on a
task until completion. Additionally, kids will learn about
self-confidence and friendship as the video focuses on the positive and
supportive interaction between Telly, Abby, and Elmo. The characters encourage one another and praise each other during the different challenges.
Spoofing several old school, and new school video games in an animated world, Elmo, Abby and Telly have never been seen like this before! Can an 8-bit-Elmo
“munch” his way through a maze-like game where he must find objects
that start with certain sounds? What happens when the friends encounter
some letters from “Angry Words?” Can Elmo dance
his way through a game where his moves need to match movements that
start with certain letters? Will Abby be a “hero” as she rocks out with a
guitar in another game? With seven challenging games to play the friends will discover it is not as easy as A-B-C to win against A. B. C-more!
“Warner Home Video is excited to bring Elmo’s latest never-before-seen adventure to DVD with the release of Sesame Street: Elmo’s Alphabet Challenge,” said
Jeff Brown, WHV Executive Vice President and GM of Non-Theatrical
Franchise. “Kids will love to play along and learn in a series of fun
video game spoofs that will teach both letter recognition and sounds in a
fun and entertaining way.”
Special bonus materials include a free poster[1], 26 alphabet storybook animations, parenting tips and activity pages.
Now in its 42nd season, Sesame Street is the longest-running
program in children’s television. The series has received more Emmy
awards than any other show in television history (138), as well as a
Lifetime Achievement Emmy Award honoring the 40th year.

My Thoughts:
I love when Sesame Street and Warner Home Video releases videos like this. Savannah just loves Elmo and Abby Cadabby, and goes crazy when she sees me getting DVDs in the mail with her favorite characters. This DVD came at just the right time as Savannah is beginning to recite the alphabet. She doesn't have the entire alphabet down, but with the help of this fun filled DVD, she is getting the letters in chronological order now. Her favorite parts of this jam packed DVD was Dancing with Elmo and Abby's Letter Race. This is where I saw her more excited and engaged. And, when Abby pulled our her magical Fly Pad, Savannah right over to her Daddy's iPad and showed it to Abby and Elmo. She was so happy seeing Abby use her special tablet, just like Savannah does.
Who knew that learning the alphabet could be so much fun. With the help of Elmo, Telly and Abby Cadabby, your kids will be reciting the alphabet from A to Z in no time. :-) Young children will love the video game feel of this new release, which makes it great for both young boys and girls to enjoy.
