![]() ![]() Ernie and Bert could have got a little irritating with their interruptions but they carry it off well enough. The Sesame Street characters are all as fun as usual. The Trash Queen's song is catchy but has a touch of the divas about it that seems out of place, but other than that there isn't really a bum note among them. ![]() The musical numbers are all very catchy and mostly quite fun. The action is all very bright and fun and has dialogue that will please both kids and adults, but without having stuff going low and high - it's all down the middle and easy to watch. The plot has a nice moral behind it, one of not being selfish with one's possessions, and it delivers it without ramming it down your throat - in fact younger children won't even see it! What the children will see is a collection of colourful characters who are pretty funny and encourage audience interaction all the way (which I think would have annoyed me in a cinema - but not on video). The cuddliest and cutest of the Sesame Street gang, Elmo is hard to dislike and it is fun to spend 60 minutes in his company. As the rest of the world do, I love little Elmo. Elmo goes after Huxley while his friends from Sesame Street venture into Grouchland to find him. When Elmo goes to get it back he gets sucked into Grouchland where he has his blanket taken by the greedy and selfish Huxley. ![]() Children engaged in açaí berry harvesting not only are required to scale very tall trees, but they also lack proper protective equipment, transport large knives with serrated blades in the back of their shorts, and are exposed to hot climate conditions and environments that include venomous insects and other dangerous animals.When Elmo has an argument with his friend over his blanket, the blanket ends up falling into Oscar the Grouch's trashcan. Açaí berry picking is considered to be a highly dangerous job in Brazil, requiring those involved in its harvest to climb great heights, sometimes up to 65 feet. Reports and field research indicate that children are seen as extremely valuable to the harvest due to their physical stature and natural agility, qualities that allow them to climb the açaí berry trees’ tall and thin trunks more easily without the trees breaking. Most families in the region rely on the harvest as their main source of income. Children are involved in the harvesting season from August until January each year, alongside their families. Evidence of child labor has been found in the city of Abaetuba, a major center for açaí berry production, in the State of Pará. There are reports that children, as young as age 8, are engaged in the harvesting of açaí berries in Brazil. It is also a valuable resource for researchers, advocacy organizations and companies wishing to carry out risk assessments and engage in due diligence on labor rights in their supply chains. Publication of the List has resulted in new opportunities for ILAB to engage with foreign governments to combat forced labor and child labor. ![]() ILAB maintains the List primarily to raise public awareness about forced labor and child labor around the world and to promote efforts to combat them it is not intended to be punitive, but rather to serve as a catalyst for more strategic and focused coordination and collaboration among those working to address these problems. The List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor comprises 159 goods from 78 countries and areas, as of September 28, 2022. The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) maintains a list of goods and their source countries which it has reason to believe are produced by child labor or forced labor in violation of international standards, as required under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) of 2005 and subsequent reauthorizations.
