Big Idea An Easter Carol (Re-Issue), DVD

Ebenezer Nezzer is out of control! Filling London with plastic Easter eggs, he's on a rampage to make Easter "bigger than ever!" But just how hard can his mechanical chickens work before they're, well, fried? In just one unforgettable day and night, Cavis and Millward (Bob and Larry) and a music box angel named Hope (voiced by Rebecca St. James) must convince Nezzer that Easter is about more than just candy and eggs.

Inspired by Dickens' Christmas classic, this very special VeggieTales film explains why millions of Christians around the world celebrate Easter past, present and future.

We LOVE Veggie Tales in this house. However this movie was a bit above the ages of my boys (5 and 7). They found it a little scary when the lady came out of the picture during the movie. We will put it away for a couple years and try again.

I got this video for viewing on Easter with my family. The target audience was my 5 year old nephew Ray (aka Ray of Sunshine) and although he was captivated, us adults lost interest quickly but I'm glad that there is programming to lead him on the path to God, so Amen, no regrets, especially for the $5.00 sale price! L.O.V.E. LOVE Christianbooks.com

My daughter is 2 1/2 and loves this dvd. She requests to watch it multiple times a week. It's so refreshing to have something that she can look at and I don't have to censor it.

I purchased this DVD for the Sunday school kids. They loved it. The story kept the attention of all the kids, even the pre-teens. Definitely a DVD we'll be watching again.

Veggie Tales show imagination without the sacrifice of biblical accuracy. Animation is up to date and right on target with the way children are used to being entertained. Adults enjoy Veggie Tales as well.

I watched VeggieTales' new movie 'Twas the Night Before Easter, earlier last week. While writing my review for that movie, I realized VeggieTales made another Easter movie called An Easter Carol back in the early 2000s; or they released the DVD version of it during that time I'm not certain. I wanted to see if I liked this movie better than their new Easter movie. I also wanted to watch/review a few Easter based movies before the Resurrection Day Season ended. As you might have assumed already, An Easter Carol is an adaptation to the famous Charles Dickens tale: A Christmas Carol.
In this story, VeggieTales' Mr. Nezzer is Ebenezer Nezzer the owner of an Easter Egg factory. Mr. Nezzer feels it would make his late grandmother happy and people in general would be happy if he constructed an Easter themed theme park; since Easter is all about the eggs and chocolates to him. The land he desires for this theme park is already occupied by a church and orphanage, but since he technically owns the land he wants them destroyed on Easter Sunday morning to make room for the theme park. When evening comes, the spirit of his grandmother warns him not to go through with the demolition and tells him an angel will appear to him three times to show him an Easter past, present, and yet to come. The angel Hope appears to him to show Mr. Nezzer the error of his ways.
Rebecca St. James, who plays the angel Hope, is fantastic in this movie. I loved her song, it was beautiful and it presents what the true meaning of Easter is supposed to be! (I actually cried a little when hearing it.) Like any other VeggieTales story, I felt An Easter Carol was well written, educational, and it will definitely entertain both parents and children. Granted the graphics aren't as good as the newer VeggieTales movies, but this was one of their older films and I don't believe that prevents a person from enjoying the story; there are horrible films out there with good graphics lol. I certainly liked both 'Twas the Night Before Easter and An Easter Carol, but between the two of them I preferred watching An Easter Carol better.

I teach at a Christian school and I have shown this video to my students. It is a great way to explain Easter to kids who don't understand completely the spiritual part of Easter. It opens up some great discussion and helps take the focus off of eggs and candy and back where it belongs.... Jesus!

The frequency in viewing by my great Granddaughter is an indication that it is a favorite of hers. I think it is too light on the significant fact of Christ's resurrection on Easter, and what this means to those who believe in Christ as the way of salvation.
