Elmo the Musical

Elmo the Musical is an Elmo's World's replacement segment shown at the end of the American children's television program Sesame Street from season 43 to 46. It premiered on September 26, 2012, as part of the show's structural change and originally lasted fifteen minutes at the end of each episode until 2016.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It was completely unnecessary, as many of Sesame Street's characters could have gotten more screen time than they used to after the removal of Elmo's World in 2012. Unfortunately, Sesame Workshop decided to keep the last 15 minutes of the show devoted entirely to Elmo.
 * 2) There is some gross out humor present in some of the episodes. "Prince Elmo the Musical", for example, has a scene where a dragon spreads his bad breath everywhere and Elmo defeats him with his breath by gulping down some garlic and Limburger cheeseburger wedges and yelled.
 * 3) Much like Elmo's World, the show does a lot to strip away Sesame Street's warmth and is almost completely disconnected from the rest of the show. Elmo disappears into his own little technicolor world of fantasy and imagination while he leaves his audience's imagination behind and does all the work for them.
 * 4) *Six years later, the Sesame Street Muppet characters had decided to put on a new show on Off-Broadway: "Sesame Street the Musical" in September 22, 2022.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Decent CGI animation.
