Fisher-Price has done it again and created Elmo Live, an amazing animatronic Elmo that dances, sings, and tells stories. The most advanced Elmo robot ever, Elmo Live doll seems almost like the real Sesame Street muppet character made legendary by the talented Kevin Clash. Elmo Live’s mouth moves as he speaks as his head bounces about complete with the frantic arm waving that makes Elmo so hysterical to children and adults alike. He even crosses and uncrosses his legs and switches between switching and standing as he regales you and your family with songs and stories!

Elmo Live Review with Video
I love Elmo Live. After playing it with several hours I was very impressed with how many songs, stories, and bits he could do. His mouth movements were in nearly perfect sync with the voice, which really gave me the feeling that I had my own little furry Elmo of my own. You can hear the gears when he moves but it’s not bad at all and quickly forgotten; especially the instant you start laughing at Elmo’s antics. His jokes are funny and some of the funniest ones are when he pretends the joke has bombed and you can hear crickets chirping in the background while he looks completely dejected. Getting him out of the box was just 4 quick snips of some wire wraps with a pair of scissors. Since Fisher Price includes the needed 6 AA batteries with Elmo Live, I could immediately play with him after pulling out the “Try Me” strap near the battery compartment. In short, Elmo Live is sure to be a blockbuster hit this year because he is a ton of fun. Once you know where the four touch sensors are you are in for hours of fun without the need to learn a complex remote control or study a manual. Highly, highly recommended. Please watch our video review below to really see the magic of Elmo Live!
