THE ADVENTURES OF ELMO IN GROUCHLAND (1999) Page #2

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.

All Elmo wants is his Blanket back.

I didn't mean to...

Don't worry, Zoey. Elmo's

just a little upset right now.

But, Bob, I didn't mean

to rip his blanket.

And then Telly came, and you saw it...

Everybody, break it up.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Just a little monster trying to

get his Blanket back.

- Thank you.

- All right.

Elmo can wait.

Oscar will probably be back

at any second.

Any second now.

And we're waiting.

Elmo's waiting.

Elmo can't wait anymore!

Oh, wow. Elmo didn't know

Oscar's place was this big.

Blanket, there you are!

Oh, Elmo's so glad to see you!

Elmo missed you!

Come on. Let's go home.

- Oh, Blanket!

- Hey, Elmo...

Please.

- Have a nice trip!

- Blanket!

Wow!

Wait, wait. Stop the film.

Stop the film. Ernie, Ernie.

- Oh, what's the matter, Bert?

- Well, what's happening to Elmo?

Don't worry, Bert. That's just

the way to get to Grouchland.

Roll film! Hey, Bert?

- What?

- Duck.

Blanket! Where are you?

Blanket!

Very colorful!

Wow. That was a fun ride.

Gee. Look at this place.

Where's Elmo's Blanket?

And where is Elmo?

Elmo doesn't think he's on

Sesame Street anymore.

- Hey, Red. You're in Grouchland.

- The greatest place on Earth!

A place where you can

kick off your shoes and...

smell your stinky socks!

Oh, no. I think I feel a song coming on.

Yuck!

Wow. This is great.

Yeah. Watch your toes.

Musical number coming through.

Hear the steady beat of sweaty feet.

On the greasy streets of Grouchland.

Smell the stinkweed gag

the waving wheat.

What a perfect day

Make it stop!

Come on! You missed a tire!

Come on.

Bring in the noise Bring in the junk.

Step on a crack Step in the gunk.

Home of the world's worst traffic jam

Welcome to Grouchland Now scram.

With the gum and goo beneath your shoe

You can bet you stepped in Grouchland

It's against the law to use shampoo

so we wash with cheese

Cheese, that's smelly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Here! Right here!

You like me!

You really like me!

Now, get out of here!

Get my good side.

That's right.

I don't have a good side.

If you're growing old

and love the coast.

Spend your golden years in Grouchland

Where the streets are paved in

solid mold and the stinkbugs sing

Sing!

Yeah!

Bring in the junk

Step on a crack, step in the gunk

Our motto:

I grouch, therefore I am.

Welcome to Grouchland.

Welcome to Grouchland.

Welcome to Grouchland

Now scram!

Wow. Grouchland sounds like fun.

- What?

- Fun?

You obviously don't

appreciate Grouch culture.

Let's send him some

greeting cards, airmail.
