Talk:Elmo

Full-Bodied Muppet
Wasn't there a Full-Bodied Muppet version of Elmo? A cousin-in-law of mine said she was the original Elmo for a year when he was a full-bodied muppet. If I have that right.--Sojambi Pinola 18:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, there have been Elmo walk-arounds made for Sesame Street Live and Sesame Place. Where did your cousin work? -- Danny (talk ) 19:07, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm....I thought she was on the actual show but I may be wrong. Her name is Cheryl. --24.45.15.70 21:30, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Elmo's parents
Why is that a discrepancy? Is there any evidence that says that his parents aren't named George and Gladys? I would think that it being Kevin C's parents makes it a done deal, unless there's a contrary reference. -- Toughpigs 15:16, 13 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Originally the article stated that Elmo's parents are named George and Gladys. If you can find a source that backs that up better than "it took place in the imagination of a goldfish," then I'd say we've got a winner. We'll probably get our answer in February when the Sesame Beginnings DVDs come out. -- Scarecroe 15:55, 13 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, Dorothy knows them. She lives in their house. I think they're presumed George & Gladys until proven otherwise. Anybody else have a comment? -- Toughpigs 17:00, 13 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Everything that happens during that section of each Elmo's World episode, is taking place in Dorothy's imagination (inside Elmo's crayon fabricated world, I might add). When it's an episode about elephants, Dorothy imagines Elmo as an elephant; when it's an episode about wine bottles, Dorothy imagines Elmo as a wine bottle; etc. Dorothy creating Elmo's parent's in the image of Elmo and giving them names doesn't constitute as conclusive evidence to me. Besides, Dorothy may live in Elmo's parent's house, but it's not clear what the brain capacity of this fish is. Only Elmo can understand what she's saying. Like many children, Dorothy may be saying what's really on Elmo's mind. Like when a child listens to a doll and speaks for it about its feelings to others.


 * Until proven otherwise, of course. -- Scarecroe 04:27, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)
