The Stomp folks are in this. The kids thought it was really cool & watched it repeatedly. The adults thought it was annoying - but what we will do for our children.!!
Movie Reviews
Not just for the little ones! It's a family favorite!

"Hurray for Sesame Street! They've made yet another video that appeals to all ages. Like many toddlers, the children in our household tend to watch the same video over and over and over again. They seem to thrive on repetition which is wonderful for their learning and growing (albeit sometimes a little irritating for the "older" family members). By including the rythmic geniuses of the Stomp! crew, they've managed to capture the attention and creativity of the toddlers and entertain the rest of the family as well. Their use of simple, everyday objects as musical instruments was particularly appealing, especially in these days of heavy commercialism. We also enjoyed the dancing and the familiar Sesame Street characters. This video invites participation so there's no need to worry about the "couch potato effect." "Let's Make Music" is our family favorite!"
One of the best Sesame Street videos!

"This is one of my favorite Sesame Street videos and we have several. In this video, Telly learns that music can be made from many different things, as the members of Stomp! make music all along Sesame Street with different every day objects. My favorite part has to be the "can can" part with Oscar the Grouch. The two guys from Stomp! in this part are hilarious with their facial expressions and then dialogue ("Cans? We've got cans!" and "Yeah, we'll go get them!"). Trust me, you've got to see that part. It's adorable.
Easily one of my daughter's favorite videos too, she will sit through this one time and time again. It is a great video for fans of Sesame Street (of all ages!)."

"...then everything *truly* is music. This wonderful video is teaching my 2-year old son, *and* re-reminding me of the beautiful simplicity of ordinary objects around us. It awakens the imagination to how these common materials can be used and played with in new and unusual ways. I delight in watching my son pat-pat-pat on tables with wooden spoons or tinker toy sticks. He has even created his own musical instrument by taking a can, filling it with rocks and shaking it, yelling, "moo-sik!" - with no probing from me. To think of the money I have spent on 'real' musical instruments. Completely fun, totally foot-stomping, AND educational entertainment for all ages. As an aside, those Stomp cast members are not only extremely talented, but pretty darn cute to look upon!! In my opinion, one of the best in Sesame Street videos."
Fascinating - please make more like this

"This DVD is amazing. The clever ways of making music (mostly percussive) with everyday objects made for such entertaining viewing, and of course STOMP is always a treat to watch.
The main problem with this DVD is that it is TOO SHORT. Sure, it is 40 minutes but it was so interesting and entertaining for us and our 18-month old that we wanted more. We only watch a few minutes of TV with her at one time but with this one we were tempted to sit and watch number after number. (OK, we didn't, but we were tempted to.) After she went to bed we watched it from beginning to end. The tuba bit with Bert in the park is so good we watched it twice.
Another nice thing about this DVD is that there is no annoying unskippable "advertising" at the beginning as so many Sesame Street DVDs seem to have. For that reason I usually buy VHS unless a reviewer says you can go right to the menu from the beginning.
Strangely, it seems that if one of the sketches is from the original Sesame Street, then the date of publication is listed as 1969. Most of this DVD was new material. As other reviewers have mentioned, the animated number pinball sketch was here, in a bit more organized fashion (only one number) than it appears on The Street We Live On. That said, the new numbers are well chosen. The only one I was a bit bored by was the girls and their playground "grandma's sick in bed" routine, and that was only because in teaching the younger child how to do it they repeated it several times. But doing this allows for the audience to give it a try, so perhaps that's the point.
Overall this is one of the best Sesame Street videos I have seen, and I have been looking for good ones for a while. The intro song done by two members of Stomp is almost worth the price alone."
What fun!

"This is the newest addition to our Sesame Street video library and it has quickly become a favorite. My 18 month old son loves music and is glued to this video from start to finish with plenty of dancing in between. It shows kids that they can make music from almost anything. The guys from STOMP are featured as well.
Plus there are a couple of 'retro' skits and cartoons (including the pinball machine!) that are definitely a blast from the past for us older Sesame Street kids.
(And lastly...this is one of the few SS videos that we have that doesn't have that obnoxious minute+ long video at the beginning of it that you MUST play everytime...uuugh!)"
