OK then... You know, this reminds me of the story of the Sesame Street Christmas Caroll where Big Bird and María talk to Oscar about all three phases, included in the picture book A Sesame Street Christmas in my library.

A CLIP SHOW!?!?! Now, that's a true ripoff!

They could have done SOOOOOO much with it, and instead they made a bloody clip show.

The end was sweet between Oscar and the little boy Muppet, but that was the best part and only part worth it. It was just highly disappointing. If I new it was going to be a clip show, I wouldn't be so upset. I'm not angry and cursing at SW for this, but I am definitely sad.

Yeah, the CGI Muppets looked really good.

I didn't mind them using the old clips they did for the Christmas Past segment, but the whole 45 minutes was that (Christmas Past)

Disappointing? I liked it... I just think Sesame Workshop was a little desparate about the sales of it... I mean did Elmo REALLY need to be on the cover? He was only in the flashbacks.

I saw it on PBS Kids Sprout Comcast On Demand.
I liked it but I didn't like that there wasn't any other main characters other than Oscar in the new scenes.
