A cheerful, music-filled puppet adventure about a beloved character's quest to retrieve his cherished blanket, built entirely on warmth, playfulness, and the comfort of familiar Sesame Street characters.

Elmo loves his fuzzy, well-worn blue blanket more than anything in the whole world. However, when Elmo's blanket gets sucked through a colorful, swirling tunnel into Grouchland, the yuckiest place on earth, Elmo goes on an adventure to Grouchland to retrieve his prized possession.
