THE ADVENTURES OF ELMO IN GROUCHLAND (1999)

Synopsis: Elmo loves his fuzzy, blue blanket, and would never let anything happen to it. However, a tug-of-war with his friend Zoe sends his blanket to a faraway land, and Elmo in hot pursuit. Facing life without his cherished blanket, Elmo musters all of his determination and courage and heads off on an action-packed rescue mission that plunges him into Grouchland, a place full of grouchy creatures, stinky garbage and the villainous Huxley. Along the way, Elmo learns an important lesson about sharing, realizing that he was selfish with his friend and responsible for what happened.

Well, since Zoey can't go to the zoo...

Elmo will bring the zoo to Zoey.

It's very special to Elmo.

A Zoey, guess what

Elmo's going to take it home.

It's soft.

Oh Zoey, Zoey!

Elmo has a nice washcloth

at home you could hold.

Don't worry, Elmo.

I'll be careful.

But Zoey...

- In a minute, Elmo.

No, not in a minute, Zoey.

Now, now!

Elmo wants his Blanket back now!

- Wait!

- Elmo wants it back now!

It's mine!

Zoey! Look what you did!

I didn't mean it.

It was an accident.

Zoey's not Elmo's friend anymore.

What?

I'm not your friend?

I can't stop!

Stop, Telly.

That's Elmo's Blanket!

Elmo.

Oh this is so delicate.

- Coming through!

- Blanket!

My birthday present!

Cookie.

- Look out!

- Blanket!

- Oh, waiter...

- One second, sir.

This looks like a job for Super Grover.

But what about breakfast?

No, thank you, sir.

I cannot fly on a full stomach.

Oh!

- There.

- Huh? But... What?

Look out!

Could somebody please get up?

My little super body cannot

take this much weight.

- Sorry, Super Grover.

- They crashed.

- They couldn't stop.

- Everybody's okay.

- Where's Elmo's Blanket?

- Oh I saw it.

It fell out of the sky,

Oscar sneezed in it,

and he dropped it in his can.

It fell out of the sky,

Oscar sneezed in it,

and then Oscar threw it in his can.

Elmo sees.

Elmo!

- Elmo.

- Oh, something I...

- Elmo, are you okay?

- How many fingers

am I holding up?

That's two... two fingers.

Excuse Elmo. Make way.

Oscar, please bring back Elmo's Blanket.

Oscar, Elmo really needs

his Blanket back!

Oh, Elmo, it's okay.

Oscar, bring Elmo's Blanket!

Elmo needs his Blanket now!

Oscar!

Okay, Elmo, take it easy.

Calm down. It's okay. I don't

think Oscar's home right now.

Not home? But Gina,

Elmo needs his Blanket back.

I guess you'll just have to

wait for Oscar to get back.

Elmo...

Elmo doesn't want to talk to you, Zoey.
