The police officer releases the Sesame Street residents so they and the Grouches can go to Huxley's castle to fight for their trash and rescue Elmo.Įarly the next morning, a caterpillar wakes Elmo up and convinces him that he has what it takes to be brave. After admitting that Elmo is his friend, Oscar convinces all the Grouches to cooperate, since it is the only way they can stop Huxley from stealing any more of their trash. Meanwhile, Grizzy sneaks into the jail where she informs Elmo's friends that he has gone to Huxley's castle. Elmo decides to give up on retrieving his blanket for the night. Huxley sends in a huge pet chicken to stop Elmo, who tosses Elmo far away. Elmo succeeds with some help from the audience and the Queen allows him to pass through. The Queen tests him, requesting that he blows 100 raspberries for her in 30 seconds. While Elmo is unexpectedly misdirected here and tells the civilians, who mistake him for Huxley, about his lost blanket, he suffers a flashback. Huxley then has Bug and the Pesties misdirect Elmo into a garbage dump where he is brought before the Queen of Trash for trespassing. Elmo gets out with the help of fireflies and somehow manages to survive crashing into a pile of rocks with a minecart. Huxley has his bug sidekick, Bug and his minions, the Pesties, trap Elmo in a cave mine. With Oscar's help, the Sesame Street residents go to Grouchland to find Elmo, but when they encounter a Grouch police officer for help, they end up arrested as they are informed that it is against the law to ask for help in Grouchland, they then get sent to prison for doing so. A plant named Stuckweed encourages Elmo that he will make it if he just takes his first step, so Elmo sets out on a quest to retrieve his blanket. A kind Grouch girl named Grizzy tells Elmo that his blanket is in Huxley's castle at the top of the faraway Mount Pickanose. Elmo dives into the bottom of Oscar's trash can, where he finds his blanket snagged on a door.Īttempting to retrieve it, he and his blanket are then teleported through a colorful swirling tunnel to Grouchland, a city filled with Grouches, trash, and Huxley, a greedy man who loves to steal anything he comes across, including Elmo's blanket. The blanket ends up falling into the hands of Oscar the Grouch, who sneezes on it and drops it in his trash can. Telly Monster, rollerskating out of control, comes and accidentally swipes the blanket leading to a chase around Sesame Street. Zoe wants to hold the blanket, but Elmo does not consent to sharing it, resulting in a tug of war that causes it to rip and also causing Elmo and Zoe to end their friendship (albeit temporarily). He spills orange juice on his blanket and takes it to the laundromat where he runs into his friend Zoe. One day, Elmo plays with his blanket in his bedroom.
