Sesame Street’s cheerful redhead chuckles his way through this delightful 50-minute compilation of three favorite “Elmo’s World” episodes. First come the babies: real babies, Muppet babies, and animal babies. With help from Mister Noodle, a cast of Muppets, and video vignettes featuring humans, Elmo discovers what babies can do and how to play with them. Next come the dogs. Once again, Elmo’s on the move–this time to share important tips about respecting the family pet. The final episode examines life on the farm. Viewers will observe youngsters accomplishing daily farm chores as well as Muppet farmers and barn animals punning around. As Elmo bops around his house (simply drawn and “furnished” with color crayon sketches), he chats with Dorothy the pet goldfish, poses questions to Mister Noodle, and tunes in to his friendly television for helpful cartoons presented by “The Baby Channel,” “The Dog Channel,” and of course, “The Farm Channel.” Educational and entertaining for the younger crowd, each segment explores its topic using a variety of creative, quick-paced methods, enhanced by an upbeat soundtrack.

In the tradition of This Is Spinal Tap comes this hilarious comedy about the greatest rap group that never was. This slyly subversive satire smashes racial stereotypes while it skewers the entire world of Gangsta Rap. Chronicling the controversial career of bad boys N.W.H. (Niggaz With Hats), this uproarious ‘mockumentary’ lampoons all of hardcore rap’s hot-button issues: violence, censorship, white rappers and ruthless record industry types. Through the guerilla lens of writer/director Rusty Cundieff, this underground laugh riot recounts the rise, fall and resurrection of a clueless bunch of would-be rappers Ice Cold, Tone-Def Tasty Taste performing as N.W.H. Fear Of A Black Hat is a cult classic that critic Roger Ebert calls “funny and fresh.” Features include: Audio Commentary by Director Rusty Cundieff; Original Theatrical Trailers; Music Videos; Deleted Scenes; Cast Interviews; Widescreen Format (Aspect ratio 1.85:1)

Made for hard-core Deadheads only, this two-and-a-half-hour-long concert video (released after the death of leader Jerry Garcia) captures an entire live show by the psychedelic pioneers. Shot in the summer of 1989 at Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wisconsin, the Dead are caught during one of their latter-day musical peaks. Appearing jovial (Garcia actually moves during several tunes!), the band provides numerous patented extended jams during a two-set, 23-song performance. Lively highlights include Garcia’s blistering solos during “Deal” and “China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider”; the spacey pairing of “Uncle John’s Band” with “Playing in the Band”; and the tender ballad “Standing on the Moon.” The motionless Dead were never a visually compelling live act, so viewers shouldn’t expect anything more than close-ups of the sextet’s faces and hands. However, such a conventional approach is preferred over the cheesy kaleidoscope of video effects that mar numerous songs here. –Dave McCoy
