An Easter Carol - Veggie Tales
An Easter Carol is one of the last Veggie movies that was produced under the Big Idea studio (as far as I can tell) and so it is one of the last that has a truly Christian theme. More on that later.
An Easter Carol is a lot like. . . you guessed it "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. With a few other comedic throw in's from other movies. Mr Nezzer, Millward's (Larry) uncle is the owner of an egg making factory. A plastic egg making factory (with plastic chickens who lay those eggs;) ) Mr Nezzer believes that Easter is all about the eggs, and he is preparing to tear down the church to make an "Easter Land". He is visited by his Grandma (who had passed away the year before) who told him he would have a visitor who would explain to him what he was doing wrong. Hope (Rebecca St. James) is a little angel who takes him to the past, present and future.
The gospel is presented in the very end, mostly in a single song, but it is clear that Jesus is the reason for Easter and that He died on the cross for our sins.

A fun/short little movie about why we celebrate Easter.

** This is a review of a movie my kids got from Grandma and Grandpa this Easter, and has in no way been paid for by Big Idea's, Veggie Tales or anyone else who might have a connection to Veggie Tales

I cannot say enough good things about Veggie Tales. They are the best life's lessons teaching tool I have found so far. They teach great lessons for getting along well in life as well as wonderful Christian values. This is one of my absolute favorites in the whole wonderful series of movies. I cannot recommend this any higher, it is far and away above all the rest.

All my kids have loved the veggie tales and this is one of the more meaningful. They tell the story of Easter an a factual but gentle way to explain to young minds what it means. That it's not about the candy and eggs.

My kids love this video, and so do I! We had the book first, so I looked for the DVD.

We are a Christian family and I wanted to do something for my son that was fun and didn't take away from the real meaning of Easter. So I made him a basket filled with Christian goodies, this movie, a book, coloring book, a cross filled with candy, etc. He really enjoyed it and watched it a few times. I didn't watch the whole thing through, but from what I seen it's a great movie, as all Veggie Tales are. Worth the money!

This is better than the other Easter VT's as it is by "Big Idea." The newer Easter movie doesn't have the Christian basis this one does. As always, we love the characters, but it's the message that matters!

As always, Veggie Tales are great ...my grandchildren really enjoy these movies, so i keep a good selection on hand for their visits. I don't have to worry about the content or message they are sending either. Even those these movies are for Children, the humor is great for us parents too.

Bought this for my preschool grandchildren. They love it!! Thankful for relevant Christian children's movies.

I didn't care for the feel of this movie, and neither did my kids. There was too much violence in it (although mild, my children ages 6, 5 and 3 did not want to watch it again). The angel of Easter past did not display much kindness and had quite the attitude. I was really glad we borrowed it from the library before we wasted any money on it.

Yes, it did have the redeeming message of Easter in it, and the end was beautiful. But it wasn't a really enjoyable movie like many Veggie Tales. I wish they would stop acting like they're competing with Disney for entertainment and make more movies that stand on their own merit, like they used to. Sadly disappointed.

I'm so sad. I bought this and had it shipped to my twin granddaughters for Easter. It doesn't play in their DVD player. It just doesn't work, like it had been voided. I'm so disappointed. I've bought so much stuff on this site, but probably won't anymore
