Customer Reviews for Big Idea 'Twas the Night Before Easter, VeggieTales DVD
Big Idea 'Twas the Night Before Easter, VeggieTales DVD
It's the night before Easter and all through the town, not a creature is stirring---except a gigantic 20-foot robotic rabbit! He's ready to star in the biggest show ever to open in Crisper County: the musical egg-stravaganza "Up with Bunnies!" But with all the excitement surrounding this "hare"-raising production, will folks forget the true meaning of Easter? Closed-captioned. Approx. 45 minutes.

We ordered it for our Children's Church and it was received so well by the kids, that we got one for our grandchildren. Loved how it bought out the true meaning of Easter

It was a good movie wish the message was a little more clear for a younger audiance. It was a fun Easter film but not a lot about what the true meaning of Easter is..

This VeggieTales is basically the very same as the Christmas special about the star. The silly song is different but the plot line is identical except it's Easter instead of Christmas.

My main criticism of this latest offering from Veggie Tales is that it was basically an "Easterized" clone of "The Star of Christmas". The story itself doesn't offer anything new except for some great singing from Melinda Doolittle. For that alone, it's worth a watch. In addition, the Silly Song is great. I've been a bit disappointed with the quality of the Silly Songs of late (Good Night Junior being an exception), and "The Hopperena" restored my faith in Veggie Tales' ability to make me fall on the floor laughing.
So, it's not the greatest, but the music just about makes it worth it. The next episode looks like it will be a bit more original. Maybe Veggie Tales should stop trying to churn out new holiday DVD's twice a year and stick to exploring new fields. They had unqualified successes with "The Star of Christmas" and "An Easter Carol"; I don't think they're going to be able to surpass themselves on those. Still, you never know.

With the Resurrection Day season approaching I wanted to see if I could find some films which fit the actual reason for the season. When I heard of the recently released film ‘Twas the Night Before Easter, remembering how I enjoyed watching Christmas themed films like It’s a Meaningful Life, and since they were nice enough to put it on Netflix (I know I’ve been watching Netflix more lately lol) I knew I had to watch this movie for myself to see if it would be a film I’d show to my future children. Although this wasn’t bad, I was expecting a little more out of this presentation…
‘Twas the Night Before Easter is a story about a dissatisfied reporter named Marlee Meade, who comes across a news story regarding a failing theater. On a passionate whim, she decides to quit her job in the hope of putting on a successful play and revive the Crisper County Theater. Marlee, her assistant, and the theater owner write and organize a play called “Up with Bunnies!” and desire for it to be a wondrously amazing performance. Miss Meade desires to enlist the famous singer Cassie Casaba, played by Melinda Doolittle, in order to attract more people to their play, but Cassie’s already scheduled to sing at an Easter Sunday sunrise service. Maybe I was expecting too much, but my first impression was different than the movie’s actual direction.
I thought ‘Twas the Night Before Easter would be similar to Saint Nicholas where the VeggieTales cast would correct certain misconceptions about Easter. Maybe they did that focus for their An Easter Carol movie, but I have yet to see that film so I don’t know; I plan to watch/review it next week. I felt for the most part they wrote a good story, but the scriptural passage they tried to apply I felt wasn’t applied the best. The scriptural passage they used was Mark 10:45 which is a good passage to remember, but perhaps maybe because they used that verse they should have changed the story a little bit where Cassie willingly performs for the play after overhearing the conversation between Miss. Meade and the Pastor instead… Although they did talk about Jesus and I liked what they had to say, I felt they could have talked about Christ more considering his death and resurrection are the whole point of celebrating this special Holiday. I also wished they would have eventually condemned the “Up With Bunnies!” play by saying ‘bunnies are not what Easter is all about’, because of their condemnation of the Bunny song in Rack, Shack, and Benny. Other than those concerns, I thought their parodies and jokes, including one involving American Idol, were pretty funny. I also liked the silly song The Hopperena by the French Peas lol. Although overall I felt this movie could have been better, I have no doubt this movie was better than unbiblical alternatives like Russell Brand’s Hop.

my daughter kept telling me she was never going to watch this movie. So, one afternoon, I popped it in to see what response I would get from her. Her eyes never left the screen. Afterward, she told me how much she liked the movie.

I have several of the other Veggie Tale movies for my son and bought this one hoping it would convey the message of Easter but doesn't seem to have much of a message at all. I had trouble even following the story, so I'm not sure my son got anything out of it at all. The movie didn't even keep his attention. We love all the other Veggie Tale movies, but this one just does not measure up to the others. Highly disappointed.

First I should say that I LOVE Veggie Tales! I have all of the DVDs (which I started collecting before I had kids) and I will continue to support Big Idea and their endeavor to provide good family entertainment.
With this movie, I was expecting it to have more of a gospel message like An Easter Carol did. I wasn't really sure how they were going to do it since An Easter Carol did such a great job with "Hope's Song" but I thought that it would be there. Yes, it did mention Jesus. Yes, it did talk about the true meaning of Easter but this movie pales in comparison to An Easter Carol.
(Spoiler Alert) Also, I was disappointed with the general story line. It seems like Big Idea copied the basic story line of The Star Of Christmas. Competing shows/performances between the local theater and the church. Stealing/tricking to get the star/performer. Disaster at the theater. Then a rush to make it back to the church in time for the church's service.
Anyway, my kids still love the movie like they do most of the VT movies. But, I will stick with An Easter Carol for my Sunday School class this year.

Veggie Tales has done it again. They always produce excellent films that have a strong message, and lots of humor. I bought this for my girls for Easter and it is great!!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but this one was not it. However, the story was good and my six year old loved it. In my opinion on this one . . . that is what counted.

I wasn't thrilled about this one. It was a bit of a let down. It was too long, it too long to get to the point and it wasn't what i thought it was going to be. I'm debating if i want to show this to my group.
