Movie Reviews of VeggieTales - An Easter Carol
Movie Review: Very cute!
Summary: 4 Stars
There's a lot to love about this DVD - it's got beautiful animation and beautiful music. The angel, voiced by Rebecca St. James, is especially lovely, and her voice is gorgeous. The mechanical chickens and the chicken rap are absolutely hysterical, and the story about Mrs. Nezzer, the Christian grandma, is extremely touching for both young and old.
However, in adapting it from Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," there are times when I thought the story dragged on a bit just for the sake of having "parallels" to the other story. Easter Future was especially convoluted. My 6yo couldn't understand why there could be no Easter just because there wasn't a pretty church nearby ("You don't need a church to believe in Jesus, right, Mommy?") It could have used some serious editing.
This is the most explicitly Christian of all the Veggie Tales videos thus far. The other ones (Jonah, Josh and the Big Wall, The Ballad of Little Joe, Madame Blueberry) all could be said to fall under the general category of "Judeo-Christian values" or Barney-esque "good morality tales," but this one makes explicit to children why belief in Jesus is so important and why Easter is such a joyous occasion. The timing of this video couldn't be better, either. I suspect a lot of little ones will get reminders about Mr. Nezzer when pining after chocolate bunnies this year. =)
Though it has some shortcomings, they are negligible in terms of its overall enjoyability, and it's definitely a beautiful video worth watching.
