Elmo in Grouchland.

Elmo in Grouchland: A Journey of Friendship, Rasing Awareness, and Grouchitude

Few children's characters are more popular than Elmo, the furry and bright red monster of Sesame Street. In 1999, Elmo embarked on an unforgettable adventure in the movie "Elmo in Grouchland", a moving story that combines humor, friendship and valuable life lessons among which are included to know how to share with others.

A Daring Rescue Mission... well, kind of

Elmo's beloved blanket, Blanquet, takes an unexpected journey to the peculiar land of Grouchland, a place where everything is messy, grumpy, and oh-so-grouchy. Determined to retrieve his precious blanket, Elmo embarks on a daring rescue mission, accompanied by his trusted friend Zoe.

A Cast of Familiar Faces

As Elmo ventures into Grouchland, he encounters a host of familiar Sesame Street friends, each adding their unique flavor to the adventure. Cookie Monster, Grover, Bert, and Ernie lend their support to Elmo's quest, while Huxley, the villainous ruler of Grouchland, poses a formidable challenge.

The Power of Blanquet

Blanquet, as a McGuffin, the coveted object that drives the plot, serves as more than just a physical possession. It represents comfort, security, and the warmth of friendship. Elmo's determination to reclaim Blanquet highlights the importance of cherishing cherished possessions and the bonds of friendship. And Elmo will have to choose between his beloved Blanquet and his new friends.

Glover's Unexpected... well, expected mischief!

In a hilarious turn of events, Elmo's playful antics in Grouchland inadvertently lead to the creation of a jolly, round creature made entirely of trash. This creature's introduction adds a touch of sweetness and unexpected joy to the story, demonstrating the transformative power of kindness and the beauty of embracing what others might deem as undesirable.

The Villain: Huxley's Grouchiness

Huxley, the ruler of Grouchland, embodies the essence of grouchy behavior. His obsession with order, tidiness, and the absence of happiness clashes with Elmo's infectious cheerfulness. Their contrasting personalities highlight the importance of embracing diversity and accepting the differences of others.

The Inhabitants of Grouchland

The Grouchland inhabitants, despite their grouchy nature, possess a unique charm and endearing qualities. Their penchant for messy living and their disdain for unnecessary cheer provide a humorous contrast to the optimistic world of Sesame Street.

A great movie that in the end... all ends well!

The Game Boy Video Game

To further capture the imagination of young fans, a Game Boy video game based on the movie was released. Players could accompany Elmo on his adventure through Grouchland, navigating obstacles, solving puzzles, and facing off against Huxley's minions.

"Elmo in Grouchland" remains a beloved children's film, with its enduring themes of friendship, sharing, and the importance of embracing different personalities. Elmo's journey to reclaim his beloved Blanquet and his encounter with the grouchy inhabitants of Grouchland provide valuable lessons for young viewers while entertaining them with humor and adventure.

Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.

Cover of the second volume of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. This edition tried to accomplish a more tight and therefore shorter version of the omnibus adventures of the epic pair.

The White Wolf (yes, the Vampire the Masquerade publisher) version was complete in four volumes, with Mignola's covers.

This are my books. The only ones I have and I wanted to share it with all of you. Enjoy.

TBO Edición Coleccionista. Trigésimo cuarta Entrega.

TBO 1967 (Incluye un especial dedicado al 50 aniversario).

Contenido:

• Almanaque humorístico de TBO 1967.
• Almanaque TBO 1967.
• TBO conmemorativo del 50 aniversario 1917-1967.

Me recuerda mucho el almanaque del cincuenta aniversario, aún en plenitud de la revista al especial de las portadas del último año del TBO en los ochenta. Sin lugar a dudas, el tono es tan diferente que parece que estamos hablando de revistas diferentes. En ambas se incluye la portada del número uno (que por cierto, tiene un chiste que no pillo, igual alguno de vosotros puede ayudarme) y eso me ha creado aún más si cabe esta sensación de "déjà vu". Aún así me parece increíble que para una efeméride tan importante, el especial resultante fuese tan sosete. En fin.


Los otros dos almanaques son muy majos, pero más de lo mismo. La verdad es que esperaba verdaderos fuegos artificiales de este número del TBO Edición Coleccionista y me he quedado, eso sí, claro, en un buen rato de lectura. 


En el almanaque 1967 hay una referencia a la efeméride de las cinco décadas de la cabecera (curioso pensar que están a nada del centenario), pero poco más. Es como si todo quisieran sus editores que hubiera sido igual. Estaba claro que ya no iba a ser así, que Bruguera les pisaba los talones en cuanto popularidad (y les llegaría a rebasar).


Guiral narra en la introducción los diversos motivos que adornaron la revista conmemorando el aniversario para luego dar cuenta del continuísmo crónico de la revista en el artículo posiblemente más largo de la colección. Completa este apartado un artículo de Federico Moreno Santabárbara sobre el cincuentenario, profundizando aún más en las consecuencias que tuvo la aceptación del término "tebeo" por la RAE haciendo referencia a las publicaciones de cómic infantil.


Aquí hago mención a parte de la biografía incluída. Es la de Méndez Álvarez, autor tristemente recordado por su trágica muerte, fusilado en Valencia tras la toma de la ciudad en el 1939. Entre 1917 (fecha del comienzo del TBO, como se habrá notado) y 1929 colaboró con sus historietas. Luego sacó trabajos suyos en otras publicaciones con temáticas más satíricas, cosa que le valió ser víctima de los intransigentes. Resulta estremecedor pensar en lo que pasó en este país hace tan poco. Una artista, por el mero hecho de hacer su trabajo y entretener a sus lectores, perdió la vida.
