The first time my 2 1/2 year old daughter and I sat down to watch this, I thought it was a bomb. She lost interest and I kept waiting for the "Peter and the Wolf" part to begin. After we watched it again (and knowing where it was going) we really enjoyed it.
Now my daughter requests it at least one a day and has supplimented this with listening to the narrated recording that we have on CD. It is her favorite video and she names and recognizes all the different instruments and is beginning to pick out those instruments on other recordings.
What you do have to content with during this story is Baby Bear and his Father. This is the only part where we lose interest. Granted, I'm not a fan of their's, but they are annoying!
The rest of the story is top notch and the blending of the Sesame Street story with the traditional one is well done.
Also, the games that are provided are a nice touch. We just wish there was more of seeing the orchestra play.

Our 19th month old son LOVES this DVD. We are sesame street fanatics and this is probably in the top 5. We also recommend
Kids's Favorite Songs 2, A Magical Halloween Adventure, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street & Sesame Street's 25th Birthday.

This video is brilliant, but I had not realized how brilliant until a few days ago when we picked up a book version of the story. [We have owned this tape for about 2 years.]
As we were going along my 3 year-old son was humming various --and appropriate!-- sections of the music that corresponded to the action on the page.
In addition, my 5 year-old daughter was telling me about what instrument was used to portray the characters. When I was humming she reminded me that I should try to sound more like an oboe (for the duck).
So Five BIG Stars for this video. Not only does it tell the classic Prokofiev tale, but it opened the doors to musical composition in ways that I had not even dared to hope for. Bravo!

This is cute and clever and my older son, who is four, truly enjoys it. This may not be the best choice, however, for younger toddlers who are just discovering Elmo. It was given to my older child when he was 18 months-old and it sat unwatched until he was three because it didn't hold his attention. I've had the same experience with my youngest son, who is now 18 month-old. He adores Elmo and enjoys other Elmo videos very much, but the segments in this story where Elmo himself isn't present, and there seem to be a lot, don't seem well-suited to very short attention spans. The musical segments are a bit more sophisticated and the storyline itself requires a bit more maturity than the other Elmo videos.
This isn't meant as a criticism because it is charming and educational tale, it's just a caution that, in my experience, this one is better suited to the video collections of older toddlers and preschoolers.
