Gone are the stuffed animals that only offered their soft touch and the company when sleeping ... Elmo, the red and hairy doll of Sesame Street, shows us a great show in his version as a dancer and storyteller. Elmo tells jokes, explains stories, sings, dances and proposes fun games to interact with the child.
The truth is that the movements of the doll are very well achieved, moves his mouth when speaking, gestures with his hands and throws kisses, crosses his legs when sitting, stands, dances ... before the smiling gaze of his playmates. Elmo has precise sensors that detect if he is standing or has fallen and acts accordingly asking the child for help to help him get up and thanking him, enrich other actions.
And it is that the doll has different activation points in the nose, belly, left foot and back, which start the different game sequences. From this link you can see a video where Elmo is in full action.
Personally, Elmo is not one of the friendliest characters in Sesame Street, but I recognize that this version in Elmo show seemed like a very successful doll and with many possibilities. Anyway, having to change the batteries often to these types of toys reminds me that we are the best storytellers and creators of shows Varied for kids.
