    Didn’t Elmo used to be a darker red? He’s pinker than I remember.

      The video probably has a weird color grade. Maybe related to the white void too.

    At the age of 27, one of my favourite movies probably shouldn’t be Elmo in Grouchland, but it is.
    I’ve had the soundtrack replaying in my head for days now.
    Love you Elmo!

      Sounds like a question you should ask Elmo’s parents, however….

      It’s probably best to first ask YOUR parents. If they don’t know, THEY should ask Elmo’s parents, then get back to you.

      @zh0re it was a joke. If anyone starts a fight or argument are to be ignore. Maybe consider it as a service that you’ll be able to find people to ignore.
