‘Elmo’s World: Let’s Play Music’Ages 2-5, just out, not rated
Combining animation and live action is this delightful title, the 19th compilation in the series starring the popular little red monster from “Sesame Street.” A visit by violinist Miri Ben-Ari is a treat, along with a 16-page bonus of downloadable activity and story sheets. Grade: A
‘Ponyo’Ages 3-7, March 2, rated G
Sweet-natured and, yes, even magical is this Americanized redubbing of a two-year-old Japanese movie. Noah Cyrus, younger sister of Miley, voices a goldfish princess who longs to become a human after swimming away from home and being rescued by a 5-year-old boy. All ages will embrace the lessons of friendship and gorgeous animation. Grade: A
‘Where the Wild Things Are’ Ages 5-10, March 2, rated G
Surprisingly deep for a movie based on a book with a mere 10 sentences, this is a charming adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s classic tale about an unruly boy who goes on a mysterious adventure after being sent to bed without supper. The story is brought to life through live-action puppetry, off- and on-screen human performances, and computer animation, but even so, it might be too sedate for youngsters expecting whiz-bang action. Grade: B+
