Sergei, you've been Muppetized! Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra join the good folks from Sesame Street in this original program, which is sure to hit the right notes with kids and parents. Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf remains an unbeatable work for introducing kids to orchestral music. And for today's Elmo-tickled tykes, the casting of their favorite fuzzy red Muppet as the brave hero Peter (in Baby Bear's imagination) seems both inspired and inevitable. A somewhat softened take on the tale (minus the Threnody for a Duck, for instance), this still will be a classical gas for children, who will cheer for an encore. Donald Liebenson

All Movie Guide

Sesame Street goes to the Boston Pops. Viewers see Baby Bear go to the Boston Symphony Hall, meeting conductor Keith Lockhart. The conductor shows Baby Bear the assortment of instruments played to portray the characters in Peter and the Wolf. This is the portal to the forest and Peter's tale. A costumed Elmo is Peter during solos of the violin. The French horn heralds the entrance of the not so scary wolf. The bassoon symbolizes the grandfather, Big Bird. The video introduces preschoolers to the experience of hearing an orchestra with the help of the familiar characters from Sesame Street. ~ Linda J. Shriver, All Movie Guide
