Plot
Elmo accidentally dropped his special blanket into
Oscar the Grouch's trash can. Elmo dived into the can to rescue his blanket. But the two have gone through a door that takes them to Grouchland. There a greedy man named Huxley takes anything in Grouchland. He took Elmo's blanket. Elmo is determined to rejoin his blanket and begins his journey. He asked a kind girl named Grizzy to help Elmo get back his blanket. Grizzy decided she wanted to stop helping because Huxley's house is on the top of Mount Pickanose which is far, far away. Elmo is now on his own. All the people from Sesame Street come to Grouchland to get Elmo back. When they seek assistance from a policeman, he arrests them and informs them that "It's against the law to ask for help in Grouchland!"
Elmo went to a tunnel where Huxley's pets trapped Elmo in the tunnel with a trap door. Elmo got out with the help of fire flies. Then he met the Queen of Trash (Vanessa Williams). He left her dump by solving an ultimate challenge. He has to give the queen 100 raspberries in 30 seconds. He finally solved the challenge. Elmo continued walking to Huxley's house. Soon he was attacked by a humongous
chicken. Elmo got away. Soon night came and he stopped at a rock to rest.
The Sesame Street muppets and the citizens of Grouchland went to Huxley's house to fight for their trash.
A
caterpillar woke up Elmo that was sleeping on the rock. He told Elmo to look inside his body. He'll see he'll be brave. Soon Elmo got his blanket from Huxley. Huxley's pets tried to stop Elmo, but the citizens and Sesame Street muppets defeated their efforts. Elmo was happy to get back his blanket. He and the Sesame Street muppets went back to their own town.
