VeggieTales Review

I’ve gotten the asides feature of the blog back up and running.  Anyone notice the VeggieTales Trivia Question, and do you know the answer?

Do I need to offer a prize to those that get it?

Hmm…

God Made You Special also has another great feature  Along with hearing the kids as Veggies, they’ve also gone out and let three people tell their stories about how God loves them.

The following is from the VeggieTales Newsletter:

Zach was diagnosed with Autism and is a living testimony that God indeed makes each one of us special. Zach became acquainted with VeggieTales early on in life and to this day, you’ll find Veggie books tucked in his bed. It’s no wonder his first spoken sentence was “God made you special, and he loves you very much.”

Rebekah, in her short 10 years on this earth taught us that even young children are capable of touching a wide array of people in profound ways. Ever quick to share the love of Jesus to family and friends, Rebekah’s life exemplifies the manner in which God makes us special, even though we may be young or young-at-heart.

Kristina, a team leader in the “Life Hurts, God Heals” program passes on a lesson to students on which you can’t put a price tag: They are loved, they are special and even if they don’t feel it, the One who made them affirms it.

By clicking on the picture at the top you can see Kristina’s segment on God Made You Special.

This is a terrific idea!

When Big Idea first came out with the sets “Heroes of the Bible” they had interviews with children talking about the stories.  Kids really do have an interesting take on things, and so it was fascinating to hear them retell your favorite stories and answer questions.

Well, with the latest VeggieTales release, they did this yet again, but took it one step further.  That’s right, they took the children’s voices and animated special characters for each of these children.

The scenes are set in and around Junior’s clubhouse from Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hairbrush, and the animators tried to pick up on the children’s facial expressions!

It’s really cute to see children talk about why God loves them and that they are special.

This special compilation DVD is a mixture of three favorites plus a new one:

1. The Gourds Must Be Crazy
2. A Snoodle’s Tale
3. Dave and the Giant Pickle

The new one is called “Bob’s Vacation.”

The exciting part is that it is coming this weekend to a store near you!  Or you can get it now!
