|I expeted more,
A minimal amount of Legos for the price. I was distracted by the cute bunny. It was a small baggy of a few legos – unimpressive.

|I liked,
Very good present for children who could not have candy at the easter time and make them occupied and contribute to learning to build.

|Very cute!,
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.

|Best Piece of Work yet,
Yes, there’s no silly song
Yes, Bob and Larry take a back seat to Nezzar
But I must say this is such a solid piece of work for Big Idea, that I really can’t complain. The music is excellent. The humor is very witty. The characters are very lovable. The only problem is my son just wants to see it over and over and over.
The best part of this video is that for the first time VeggieTales gives the whole Gospel message for kids. It’s all here: Jesus birth, life, death, and resurrection! Unlike other VeggieTales which use Old Testament stories as a means to promote great virtues and morals, this video uses a fun story to promote the story of Jesus and the hope we receive from his victory over death. This video isn’t branded “Christian” at the end with a single verse from Qwerty, rather it is thoroughly Christian through and through. The closest Big Idea got to this previously was with its Christmas videos–which rightly only focused on Jesus’ birth.
This video truly rounds out the VeggieTales catalog. Neither the animation nor the theology could be any better. Although it coincides with the Star of Christmas video, I strongly disagree with the reviewer who says that you need to see that video first. Both of these videos work well as stand-alones…in fact, if I were to buy only one, this is the one of the two to buy.
p.s. Although the packaging refers to two animated shorts, they are nowhere to be found on the DVD. Since the Big Idea website does not refer to these shorts in their description of the product, I am guessing that they were removed from the DVD at the last minute.

|Super and Fun,
Until The Passion of the Christ, the VeggieTales Movie was the highest grossing Christian movie. The Veggie tales are fun for kids and do not have that awful, cheap, washed-out look that so many Christian cartoons have. These are fresh fun and this Easter Carol would be a great addition to any home’s library. the material is safe, the Easter message (and NOT the Easter BUNNY junk) is clear. Next Easter, play your The Passion DVD and this DVD for the kids and you to lighten things up once again.
