The Best of Elmo

The Best of Elmo is a Sesame Street direct-to-video special. In this special, Elmo is getting ready for the "Monster Art Show", and he has to pick one drawing to enter in, but when his friends start to show how much they appreciate them, he starts giving them away, giving him less to choose from.
