Summary: Another Christmas Episode From Everyone's Favorite Veggies
Review: Calvin Appythart (Bob the Tomato) wants to teach London how to love while gaining fame writing musicals. Working with his partner, Millward Phelps (Larry the Cucumber), they are getting ready to release "The Princess and the Plumber." It promises to be a huge extravaganza, with a famous star and the use of electric lights to set it apart from other stages productions.

Meanwhile across town, Jr. Asparagus and his friends are planning a simple Christmas pageant. Everyone is talking about it, however, because they plan to use the Star of Christmas, which no one has seen in years. Will Calvin and Millward resort to desperate measures to ensure they get an audience?

Any fan of these Veggies will enjoy this new Christmas story. It's filled with the usual humor and good story telling we've come to expect over the years. Produced at the same time as Jonah, it does seem to suffer from the divided focus of the staff a little. Still, I've enjoyed it both times I've watched it.

The DVD includes some great extras for kids and interesting tidbits for the adult fans as well. Be sure to check out the audio commentary for information on their next video. The commentary itself is good, but does loose its way a few times when Phil and Tim can't think of anything to say at the moment.

There's no reason to fear we'll loose this fun series anytime soon; they don't seem to be running out of steam yet.

Summary: Great message--mediocre music
Review: I am a big veggie tales fan and I did enjoy this movie. I believe that the message is wonderful--well done and easy to understand. However, the music was not nearly as enjoyable as the other veggie tales and therefore, my kids don't enjoy watching this movie as much as some of the others. The bottom line is this--if my kids don't enjoy it, the best message in the world gets lost.

Summary: will be a classic
Review: I can't understand people saying it's to preachy. Christmas is about Christs birth period. I disagree with the other reviews, it does have saturday morning fun and teaches us something.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Christmas Special
Review: I really enjoy this episode of Veggietales. It is full of humor for adults and kids. The only thing it is missing is a Silly Song.

Summary: The Best Veggie Tales yet!
Review: 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.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: short on Saturday morning fun
Review: More preachy and less funny than the other Veggietale stories. No Silly Song or Qwerty, only two musical numbers.
