And to make the day extra special, all the songs are in English and Spanish! Before you can say uno. dos. tres, you'll be singing, dancing and joining in the fun with Maria, Gabi, Rosita, and their Sesame Street friends! Includes special performances by Linda Ronstadt and Celia Cruz.

The video begins with Elmo carrying a stack of pictures and bumps into Maria on accident. Elmo tells Maria that he has made a lot of drawings and has to submit one of them to the Monster Art Show, but he can't choose which one. Maria finds one of him and Ernie, which leads to...

Elmo next visits Finders Keepers, where Ruthie startles him with a chandelle boa, causing him to fall, dropping his pictures. Elmo tells her about the Monster Art Show, but can't pick which drawing he should enter. Ruthie finds one of him with Julia Roberts, and one where he wears tap shoes.

Elmo says Ruthie can have those. Ruthie finds two more drawings, one with the number 3, and another one with two backup singers - Elmo refers to the latter as his song about the number 5, leading to...

Zoe decides to keep the drawings of the two previous segments. She finds another one with trees. Elmo, meanwhile, starts to feel bummed as the number of pictures gets smaller ("It's not easy being the best.").

Elmo decides to enter the last drawing, when suddenly a Honker appears, looking unhappy. Elmo guesses that he wants one of Elmo's drawings, but Elmo isn't sure of what to do, until he realizes that his friends' feelings are more important than drawings. Elmo gives his last drawing to the Honker. However, this leaves Elmo unhappy that he has no pictures left to enter for the art show.

On the stoop of 123 Sesame Street, Elmo apologizes to Maria, Ruthie, Zoe, and the Honker that he'll never enter the Monster Art Show. Maria assures Elmo that he will enter the art show and lets everyone return the pictures to Elmo right after the show, but he has one problem: which one will he enter for the art show? Everyone laughs. Elmo then asks the viewers which picture they like best.

As the credits roll, all of Elmo's pictures are displayed on screen one by one on different frames against the pink background. When the credits finish rolling, the last picture in "Elmo's Song" magically changes into Elmo singing midway, while Elmo laughs in the background.

While all the kids are sad because they don't have a float anymore, Elmo brings a pineapple, saying that a fairy godmother would turn the pineapple into a float, just like Cinderella's carriage. Gabi and the others don't believe Elmo's fictional story. Elmo calls for a fairy godmother, at which point Oscar arrives in the Sloppy Jalopy. He refuses to help by lending the car for the carnival, but Gabi points out that the car would be decorated "with great looking trash". Oscar finally relents and allows his car to be used as a float.

Don't Eat the Pictures: Sesame Street at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (or simply Don't Eat the Pictures) is a one-hour Sesame Street special that aired on PBS on November 16, 1983. The title comes from a song in the special, "Don't Eat the Pictures",[1] sung by Cookie Monster.[2] It was available as a video tape by Random House in 1987,[3] and it was re-released on VHS by Sony Wonder in 1996 and on DVD in 2011. The special has everybody reprising their roles from the children's television series, Sesame Street. The story takes on getting locked in at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art as they embark on an adventure to find their friend Big Bird,[4] who has gotten lost finding Snuffy.[5] They must stay there until the morning while avoiding a night watchman. The special features the regular human cast of Sesame Street along with several of The Muppets, including Cookie Monster, Telly,[6] Bert[7] & Ernie,[8] The Count,[9] Grover,[10] and Oscar the Grouch.[11] Snuffy also appears, even though his names are revealed to be Mr. Snuffleupagus and Aloysius Snuffleupagus; however, at this point in the show's history, he is still the imaginary friend of Big Bird, never seen by the other characters on Sesame Street.

The Sesame Street gang have gone on a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Big Bird has arranged to meet with Snuffy at the museum but before he can, it is closing time. Big Bird decides to go off and look for Snuffy. Before the group can leave, they realize Big Bird is missing and run all through the museum looking for him. The chase has them going through different exhibits at high speed and missing, spotting, and chasing him. After a bit, they give up, only to find that they are locked in the museum overnight. They decide to go back out and look for Big Bird and look at all the exhibits while they are at it.

Big Bird eventually finds Snuffy and they wander the Egyptian exhibit and encounter a ghost of an Egyptian prince named Sahu (Aram Chowdhury) and his cat who have been cursed to remain on Earth until he answers the question "Where does today meet yesterday?" Through drawings, Sahu explains his dilemma. A demon appears to ask Sahu a question. If he does not know or answers incorrectly, the demon vanishes until the next night. If he answers correctly, he will then be taken to Osiris, who shall weigh Sahu's heart against a feather. If his heart is lighter, then he can rejoin his parents among the stars, but if it is heavier he will forever remain on earth. Big Bird considers all this too daunting and instead suggests Sahu remain on Earth and become "the only 4,000 year old kid on Sesame Street". However, Snuffy thinks it is only fair they help Sahu be reunited with his parents, and Big Bird agrees they should work on the riddle.

Meanwhile, the group has split up and are all in different exhibits. Bob and Cookie Monster find themselves looking at pictures with food in them. While Cookie Monster tries to eat the pictures, Bob points out to him a sign that says "Please don't eat the pictures". He replies with "Oh, this going to be a long night". He later sings the song "Don't Eat the Pictures" about this. Oscar finds an exhibit of Greek and Roman statues that have been broken by natural disasters. He looks in and breaks into song on how beautiful they are to him. Grover finds an exhibit filled with armor from medieval times and thinks a suit of Maximilian armour is a guy named "Max" and tries to befriend him by changing into his Super Grover costume and singing a song. Bert and Ernie view the painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware, to which Bert comments on the dedication of Washington and his men, but Ernie comments how he was very silly to cross in the winter and should have waited until Easter or taken the George Washington Bridge.

As the night passes, Big Bird and Snuffy continue to try to figure out the answer to the question. Soon, just before midnight, Big Bird unknowingly figures out the answer is "a museum". When the demon appears that night, the question is answered correctly and Sahu is sent to Osiris (Fritz Weaver) to have his heart weighed. When the feather to weigh his heart doesn't appear, Big Bird offers one of his to help. But when Sahu's heart is too heavy, Big Bird claims that it wasn't fair since Sahu was on Earth for 40 centuries and he was so alone his heart would be heavy, so he can't become a star.

The title song from Don't Eat the Pictures begins with Cookie Monster and his human friend, Bob McGrath in front of Still Life with Ham, a painting by Philippe Rousseau which Cookie Monster tries to devour. Bob holds Cookie Monster back and reminds him that he promised not to eat anything in the museum. Then Cookie Monster breaks into song, with angelic choral accompaniment, about paintings, statues, and mummies, and how he understands how important it is to not devour them.[14]

[The scene transitions to Sesame Street as the title, "Elmo Saves Christmas" appears on the screen and then it shows the citizens of Sesame Street walking while holding their presents and then to Bob]
