Elmo is the furry, red monster with large white eyes and an orange nose in the popular children’s television show Sesame Street. Because of his popularity among children, he outshone older characters like Oscar the Grouch, Grover and Cookie Monster. The Muppet has its own show geared towards the toddlers called Elmo’s World. He and his goldfish, Dorothy entertains little kids with jokes, singing and dancing. This just shows how much children adore the monster! All of them want to have Elmo as their best buds!
Elmo Live Doll
Seeing how children love the Muppet encouraged Fisher Price, the toy manufacturing company, to create a very close representation of Elmo from Sesame Street called Elmo Live. By close representation, the company goes beyond the ordinary plush cuddly toy. It combined hi-tech electronics and robotics to make the usual cuddly toy speak, sing, dance and play with the kids! And unlike earlier hi-specification robot toys, Elmo live demonstrates fluid life-like movements and not slow or jerky movements.
What the Fisher price Elmo Live doll can do
Elmo Live is the first toy that speaks not with sounds that seems to come out from an internal speaker. His head moves back and forth gracefully as he speaks. More than speaking, the doll could wave, sit and stand up, and even cross his legs! All these while he tells stories and jokes, sings songs and plays games with the kids. In order to witness this magic, the kids just have to insert 6 AA batteries into Elmo and tickle or squeeze his foot, tummy, back or nose! Cool!
Preceding Elmo Toys
There had been a lot of Elmo Toys prior to Elmo Live. All of them had been successful in entertaining the children and gaining the kids’ love. In fact, in Christmas 1996, the Tickle Me Elmo was hailed as the best-selling Toy of the season. The toy could vibrate and laugh when tickled. In 2006, the Extreme Edition was also a hit. This version when tickled, rolls around the floor and says some short phrases while hysterically laughing. Elmo as a toy has always been successful in capturing the kids’ hearts and though a bit expensive because of its enhanced features, Elmo Live would not be any different in becoming a hit!
Kids love it, Parents too!
Kids complete their days when they spend it laughing, singing and dancing along with Elmo on TV. Elmo Live just fulfilled their dreams of having Elmo as their best buds not on the TV but right beside them on the living room or in bed with them! Parents are not immune to the charms of Elmo as well; the Muppet was present in their childhoods as well. They had probably wished to have Elmo beside them too! For sure, they would be happy to see this fantasy coming true for their little ones, as they see them having fun interacting with Elmo, the cute, red and furry monster!
