Elmo (voice of Kevin Clash) learns about the importance of fire safety and has fun doing it in this video from the producers of the long-running children's television series Sesame Street. After a fire on Sesame Street puts a scare into many of the residents, Maria (Sonia Manzano) organizes a trip to a nearby fire station, where the firemen teach Elmo and his friends about the important job they do, how they stay safe from fire, and what kids (and their parents) should do if there is a fire in their home. Sesame Street: Elmo Visits the Firehouse also features a new song from Elmo and the gang, "Get Low and Go," as well as a visit from Hero Guy. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

One of the most popular characters on Sesame Street gets his own movie in this family comedy. Playful Elmo (voice of Kevin Clash) loves his blue blanket and would never want to lose it. So when it gets spirited off to parts unknown in the midst of a tug-of-war with one of his friends, Elmo sets out to find it and ends up in the grumpy kingdom of Grouchland, where Huxley (Mandy Patinkin) and the Queen of Trash (Vanessa Williams) rule over a dark and ill-mannered domain. Along with Elmo, several other favorite Sesame Street characters appear, including Oscar the Grouch (Carroll Spinney), Ernie (Steve Whitmire), and Bert (Frank Oz). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Set in the Caribbean, Firepower is one of those "celebrity salads," featuring a glittering all-star cast. Sophia Loren heads the ensemble as Adele, the widow of a murdered chemist. Believing that a multimillionaire industrialist is the culprit, Adele determines that she can expect no help from the authorities. Thus she engages the services of retired professional assassin Jerry Fanori (James Coburn), who in turn enlists the aid of troubleshooter Catlett (O.J. Simpson). Watch for Jake LaMotta, the ex-prizefighter whose life was dramatized in Raging Bull, in a supporting part. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
