Editorial Reviews

From KIDS FIRST!: Veggie Tales does it again in this delightful collection of well-known fairy tales with a Veggie twist. Appealing mostly to girls (although young boys will secretly enjoy them, too), the stories of Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty take on a new dimension when enacted by the Veggie Tale gang. Parents sometimes complain that the focus on love and perfect princes isn’t appropriate for young children. The Veggie Tales rendition of these beloved stories puts this worry to rest. Instead of romantic love, the focus is on friendship. The girls still get to dream about being princesses, but only if they remember that princesses are special-just as God made them. They are also reminded that princesses are only truly beautiful when they have inner beauty. Silly songs, appealing music, bright colors and interesting stories make this DVD a fabulous addition to a home or church collection. Child Juror Comments: This was a good movie because it taught a good lesson. It doesn’t matter what you wear. It’s what on the inside that counts. I’ve seen this lesson before, but not like this. I like how they took the story of “Sleeping Beauty” and gave it a lesson. They used something that people like to teach a lesson. I think my friends would like this because it was Veggie Tales, and it was a great movie. They would like how it shows that Jesus looks at who you are on the inside. They like lessons like that. I loved the silly songs where they were talking about a “new” invention called pants. It was really funny. Ages 5-12.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than I Thought August 18, 2010

By cachooboo

Format:DVD

I feel like lately Big Idea has been coming with some very watered-down, unoriginal, and overlyloud productions. I grew up watching Veggie Tales and to be honest, at 20 I still watch them because I loved the simple stories and seeing stories that teach lessons that many of us tend to forget when confronted with the working life. I hated their last production, Pistaccio. I felt like there was minimal God in that video. It was more of an entertainment video rather than something to learn from. I especially hated how they just turned a disney movie into their own version. I loved Veggie Tales for their simple but creative stories, especially if they were stories taken straight from the Bible such as their Esther and Daniel productions. The name Sweetpea Beauty, threw me off cause it made me think that it was just another remake of a disney movie but after watching it, I actually liked it. They incorporated a lot more of God. I especially love their snoodle stories. I feel like the story may need some 'quiet moments' instead of every scene being so loud and full of attempted-jokes. But overall, i liked it and i don't mind watching this over and over. I do hope that Veggie Tales will make more serious, bible-centered stories in the future though! I loved the old, simple ones they did in the past!

5.0 out of 5 stars Veggie Tales is back on track August 16, 2010

By mrs. dani

Format:DVD

I have done A LOT of reviews for Veggie Tales in the past. While the last few videos were...good, they were not up to past standards. Again, I think this is due to the fact that Phil Visher lost control of Big Idea (get his book; Me, Myself & Bob to see how and why) Anyway, many others have taken turns writing for Veggie Tales, not always a good thing. It seems that Phil is back!..with great results!

The first story is in my opinion is the best. Snooderella is written in the same, and misty eye, manner as the orginal Snoodle's Tale. I have to believe Phil wrote this one too. A beautiful story about God loving us as we are.

The silly song, Pants was...well I found it somewhat annoying. Although I have found myself doing the laundry while singing, "they're pants if you short and shorts if you are tall" But it is still pretty good.

Sweetpea Beauty was also a great story...though Sweetpea Beauty did give me a toothache. But it really gave such a great point about seeing beauty and usefulness in EVERYTHING...even a skunk & worms. Not something you would expect to see in a Princess story but so needed. And I have to say it was...er...interesting to see bushy eyebrows on a blueberry.

To some up, not the absolute best of Veggie Tales but certainly not close to being the worst. I would rate it in the top 10 of Veggie Tales. Even those who are not big Veggie Tales I believe would love the message of this video.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, but fell short November 17, 2010

By C. R. Waite

Format:DVD

I am a Christian grandmother and was in search of a DVD that would teach Godly principles to my beautiful granddaughter. A way to bolster the at-home teaching she's receiving that inward beauty is what pleases God. I very much wanted to -- and expected to -- like this video, but just didn't. There were several shorts including the Sweetpea Beauty and Snoodlerella. The messages were just a little off to my way of thinking.

Snoodlerella really was an awkward, homely girl with glasses and braces and an abominable hair-do and of course her step-mom and sisters deride her. She gets a magical makeover and is the belle of the ball until midnight when once again the braces, glasses and hair reappear and everyone loses interest in her.... except for the king, of course, the God-figure who made her and loves her, who comes to dance with her. Disdain is shown by all other characters in the video for the plain, awkward child! Not the lesson you want to teach a child.

Sweetpea Beauty is a lovely girl, but the messages that surround her story were again a little off and distracting. Again physical beauty was glorified, even as they were teaching that inward beauty mattered most! There's got to be a better way to teach your little miss about inward beauty and take the emphasis off the outward looks. On the positive side, Sweatpea does have a beautiful voice and the songs were very pretty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not like the old Veggie Tales September 22, 2010

By discern

Format:Amazon Instant Video

I have a collection of Veggie tales dating back to the earliest ones made. A few years ago, the producers sold rights to one of the networks. This latest one is a product of the 'after' effects of that relationship. The story line is much darker than you would normally expect from veggie tales. You really don't get the message about true beauty at all because most of the talk and action is done between the queen and the mirror who wants to 'finish' the local maiden. My almost 4 year old was scared and also the other day said, "I don't feel pretty" - she's never said anything like that in her life. I asked her why she was saying that and she said because of the queen in veggie tales. I promptly through the thing in the trash - don't buy this - it's just confusing and not a good wholesome presentation of true beauty. Shame on veggie tales!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Veggie! November 9, 2010

By Penny Zeller, Christian Author and Speaker

Format:DVD

Sweetpea Beauty had a lot of excellent points in it about the importance of looking at what's on the inside, rather than on the outside based on the 1 Samuel 16:7 verse "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." Our family especially enjoyed the Snoodlerella story.

I, too, was glad to see that VeggieTales continues to produce DVDs that honor God and make Him and His design for our lives a top priority. I would definitely recommend this DVD and have added Sweepea Beauty to my Mom-Approved Family Movie list on my blog.
