"My 18-month-old duaghter absolutely loves this video! It was a gift from Gandma overseas and was the only one on VHS that she could find in the store. My daughter likes this video better than the collection of Elmo's World videos we have.
The video is done on a theme of a roast for Grover (or, as they say, a "roost", so as not to offend the chickens attending). All the honored guests at the roast are the Sesame Street regulars like Ernie, Bert, Big Bird, Oscar, Cookie Monster, Elmo and Zoe. They all take turns talking about the qualities they think make Grover special. A classic Grover video clip -- some dating back to the 70s -- follows each speech.
All the classic Grover clips are very funny. My daughter's favorite is of Grover singing a song that demonstrates the meaning of "around", "over", "under", "through", "near", and "far". Grover runs all over the place trying to explain these words physically until, at the end, he finally collapses from exhaustion.
Another great skit is a 70s disco of the ABC song. The set for the scene is straight out of Saturday Night Fever and the lyrics to the song are "Now I know my ABCs, won't you come and boogie with me?"
Every skit will make both child and parent smile. Get this video!"
Great!

"It's about time-we finally get to see a Grover compilation video! Grover has always been our family's favorite, and this video provides a nice sample of his popular characters-Super Grover, waiter, delivery man, etc... My daughter flips over him every time, and thoroughly enjoys this video. To the other reviewers who wish there was a celebration video of the other characters, they DO have them available, called "Best of" Elmo, Bert and Ernie, Big Bird, you get the idea. The original songs of the other muppets celebrating Grover do make this one a little extra special, we just love it."

"Like Gonzo, Cookie Monster and Herry, Grover is a lovable, furry blue monster. Everybody likes him except Fat Blue, the man who Grover always sells stuff to. It shows all the great things Grover has done and all the things he did as Super Grover. I like the fact that Kermit was in this. They ARE best friends. The Best of Grover is a great video!

"My 18 month old loves this movie! The different clips of Grover are great(there are clips from the 70's, 80's and 90's) and the songs are fun to watch over and over. Big Bird is the host and all the Sesame Street characters are at a banquet to celebrate Grover being special. They all share memories about Grover and what they like about him. We even get to see the blue guy Grover was always a waiter to. (Of course, that was my favorite part!)I would recommend this movie to all my friends."
A Bit Disappointing

"There was too much new (bad) content and very little classic Grover on this disc. I really was annoyed at Elmo being in too much of it."
