Synopsis: Elmo loves his fuzzy, well-worn blue blanket better than anything in the whole world. In fact, they are inseparable... a perfect team. Elmo would never let anything happen to it-until a tug-of-war...

Facing life without his cherished blanket, Elmo summons all of his courage and determination and sets off on an action-packed rescue mission that plunges him into Grouchland-a place full of grouchy creatures, stinky garbage and the villainous Huxley (Mandy Patinkin). There, Elmo learns an important lesson about sharing. [More]

Starring: Vanessa Williams, Mandy Patinkin

Director: Gary Halvorson
