I've never read the book that the special is based on. Even still, this was a pretty fun ride. The animation is colorful and expressive, allowing for a different kind of humor that works well. The characters are in top form, especially Grover. There's a nice message on facing fears. It's simple, but it works.

I had this book as a child, and absolutely loved it. This is such a great adaptation. Grover is great, and this TV special is great for little kids, or older kids / teens / adults who want to get reminded of their childhood.
