CinderElmo is a television special that aired on Fox in the United States on December 6, 1999. It was released on VHS in the United States/Canada and the Netherlands.

The special was sponsored by K-Mart department stores, during the Christmas holiday season, "where, no doubt, much Elmo merchandise is on display."[1]

This was the last major primetime special for Sesame Street, until Elmo's Christmas Countdown in 2007.[2]

Critical reception

The New York Times panned the program. The review reads: "CinderElmo has one quality that's glaringly unexpected in a production with the Children's Television Workshop imprimatur. It's condescending." Of French Stewart's acting: "It looks like an exercise from acting class." Additionally, "The colorful show does display a few flashes of wit. But you'll find the magic sold out."[1]
