The Best of Elmo video, anyone remember?

Looked it up on Youtube, brought back a ton of memories. Haven't seen it since maybe, 1997. My younger cousins who were like, 3 and 4 at the time, used to always watch it on video at my grandma's house. I remember the beginning with Maria and the long wooden plank knocking over Elmo and his pictures. I also remember when he ran into Ruthie and gave her a picture for the Monster Art Show. And the end with the Honker. lol Jim Henson was a genius coming up with the idea of a giant yellow canary, a Cookie Monster, and monsters with honking noses. I love the Honkers.
I totally forgot about the Five Jive song. Wow, what a throwback, haha.

Was Elmo supposed to be crying at the end? I know puppets can't cry tears.

I think I bought that DVD recently along with several other Sesame Street DVD's. I was born in 1990, so I grew up with the Elmo era of Sesame Street.

Yeah I remember when Tickle Me Elmo was the hottest toy out for the 1996 Christmas season. I kind of wanted one even though I was 7, lol.

I love the music when the blue Honker happily walked away and kissed Elmo. lol. And good idea Maria, "you can give them back to us AFTER the Monster Art Show!" And wouldn't he need only one for it?
