Movie Reviews of VeggieTales - Sumo Of The Opera
Movie Review: Another Excellent Story
Summary: 5 Stars
This VeggieTales release is another winner. With four excellent segments, this show has enough variety to win over lots of different tastes.
"Going Up" is a spoof of Laurel and Hardy mixed with The Three Stooges, and while this has some dialogue (not in the actual story, but in the special dialogue cards that go with it), the original "unrestored" version that was going to be part of the show before it was changed is included as a bonus DVD feature.
"Schoolhouse Polka" is a pretty good Silly Song, though not as good as some other recent greats like "Sport Utility Vehicle" and "Belly Button." It's also kind of short. A good segment, nonetheless.
"St. Patrick's Day" tells the story of Saint Patrick in a mix of 2-D and 3-D animation, within the context of a flannelgraph. It's a great story on church history and it's very funny to boot.
The main segment, "Sumo of the Opera," is wonderful with a great color palette, excellent animation, and a good story. This one also has a good score.
As usual there is a Bible verse at the end, but a surprise happens to QWERTY. Hopefully he'll be repaired by next show.
The DVD features are as to be expected from Big Idea top notch, including Easter Eggs and the standard behind-the-scenes interviews. There are previews for two upcoming shows, "The Princess and the Pie War" (January 2005) and "Minnesota Cuke" (May 2005), as well as a progression reel and art gallery. My favorite feature is always the audio commentary, and David Pitts and Mike Nawrocki (who also did the commentary on "A Snoodle's Tale") do a great job with the audio commentary on this DVD. For the St. Patrick's Day segment, Mr. Nawrocki is joined by Brian K. Roberts, who animated the entire segment. After the segment is done David Pitts come back and he and Mr. Nawrocki finish the rest of the commentary.
One minor concern -- Phil Vischer is almost nowhere to be found on this DVD. Aside from voicing Bob, Jerry Gourd, Pa Grape, and his other usuals, and singing in the Japanese vegetable choir, he seems to have had little to do with this episode, and he's not in any of the DVD features either. Hopefully he will be more involved in the upcoming episodes.
Overall a great episode and a great DVD -- surely another classic for everybody's VeggieTales library.
