5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars For The Star Of Christmas!, November 21, 2002

This review is from: VeggieTales - The Star of Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This fine Veggie Tales feature is an improvement over The Toy That Saved Christmas and certainly has a quality that will enable it to become a seasonal classic.
The first time I watched it I practically laughed the whole way through it!
This video is filled with quirks of comedy that are all very well done. From a crazy ride in a rocket-carriage, to the clumsy theft and retreat of Cavis & Millward to even their unsuccessful musical: The Princess and the Plumber, this video will not disappoint the viewer for hilarious scenes and concepts. Plus it has plenty of entertaining music to amuse. But I'd have to say that The Star of Christmas has a serious note too. The fact that it has no trademark Veggie Theme Song or Silly Song With Larry saddens the Veggie fan a bit, but doesn't make it that much less desirable. What rises above those missing details is how the story has a thought-provoking way of bringing out a point. Opening the mind with its presentation of how sharing the love of the season with others should be a simple act of selflessness. The ending does a smart job of concluding this and inspires the spirit to become more aware and less self-centered.
Also it cannot go without notice that Big Idea Productions put a part of themselves into this 45-minute video. Making it that much more special because of their distinctive account of what should always remain at the heart, the center, or as the true Star of Christmas. The one story that can teach us to love.

Its beautiful and touching as well as charming and funny, a VERY recommendable pick from the ever-increasing bumper crop of Veggie Tales videos. This is one that you'll WANT to share with friends & family during the holiday season. It REALLY is a great video that all ages can enjoy, for kids and adults defiantly!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Veggie Tales yet!, November 1, 2002

This review is from: VeggieTales - The Star of Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm a fan of Veggie Tales and just got this new release last night. The production, imagery and details improve with each episode. This one has outstanding scenery, action, music and characterizations, especially the return of "Madame Blueberry." As far as the humor, it is difficult to improve on perfection but the Big Idea group always finds a way. This had some real laugh-out-loud scenes. The ending was a surprise and very touching. During the ending I did have to ask myself why I was so affected by performing vegetables, but when you see it, you'll understand. Definitely five stars and a major hit with a terrific message, not just for kids but for all ages.
