There was an all-celebrity-inserts DVD release. It was called Singing with the Stars, and all of the clips were music numbers sung by celebrities. Of course it didn't include any classic celebrity numbers, just ones from the last decade.Seems like Elmo V3 is just going to be more celebrity segments... why not just release a Best of Celebrities on Sesame Street collection and get it over with?
And oddly enough, the packaging didn't show any celebrities. It seems like Warner Home Video has been avoiding showing celebrities on the packaging of Sesame Street DVDs (while Sony Wonder and Genius never had such issues with it, even including celebrities on the covers of certain releases). The back cover had images representing celebritiy numbers, but without the celebrities pictures (like an image for the 1234 parody but without Feist).
It would be great if they could make a "Best if Celebrities" release like "Best of Sesame Street Spoofs", with a disc/hours worth of classic clips and a disc/hours worth of more recent Sesame Street spots. I'd kind of like a Sesame Street celebrities release that's done similar to the shorts arrangement on the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection releases, with each celebrity being represented with every insert appearance they made (and it seems like those who appeared during the 1970s did many inserts in one day). Of course even if they can include a celebrity there could be other issues with certain clips, like if they sang songs not written for the show (such as Johnny Cash's "Five Feet High and Rising", James Taylor's "Up on the Roof", Ray Charles' "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning", etc.). But you never know.
But if there's a big issue with including celebrities on the packaging, then it might look odd for a release titled "Best of Sesame Street Celebrities" to not have the celebrities on the packaging (not having celebrities on the packaging for "Singing with the Stars" doesn't seem so odd by comparrison).
