Summary: One of my faves! Beautiful Colors! Vital Lesson! :)
Review: This VeggieTale has such vivid color! It's beautiful! The lesson here is so important for children to learn early--that "stuff" doesn't make you happy. It clutters your life, and getting too many possessions causes problems. This is one of my favorites, and it has one of my 2 favorite silly songs! It's hard not to laugh at the speed-singing! (My other fav silly song is in the new Ballad of Little Joe movie). This tale has such a great lesson in learning to be happy with what you have, and not buying more than you need...next time you are at "Stuff-Mart" or wherever. It's a great lesson for kids AND adults alike! :)

Summary: I'm 20 and I love it
Review: We bought this DVD for my 13-month-old cousin, and I get more excited about it than she does. However, she does love it. Her face just lights up when she hears the intro, and she dances along to all of the songs. The message of "Thankfulness" is expressed in a way that anyone of any age can understand and gain appreciation from. If your children already has a "gazillion" toys and are still begging for more, sit them down in from of this video.

Summary: Wonderful and very important!
Review: My family recently discovered the veggie-tales videos, and we were instant fans. The writing is excellent, combining genuine wit with relavent messages presented in a gentle, non-judgemental way. The result is a really funny view with the satisfying sense that your kids are not wasting their time by watching. This video, Madame Blueberry, immediately became our favorite. The music is so catchy my youngest daughter has started singing, "I'm so blue-hoo-hoo-blue-hoo-hoo" whenever she gets confused. For my part, I find I can always make my wife laugh by singing a bar or two of, "His Cheeseburger."What makes Madame Blueberry so important, however, is its message: material things cannot make you truly happy, being thankful for what you have makes you happy. Some reviewers have suggested that this message is too advanced for younger children. I must disagree. Children barely able to talk are now being subjected to the merciless lure of advertising. Even if they don't watch television product advertising can be found every form of media, and no potential market is immune! And regardless of the age of the target audience, the message is the same, "You need x to be happy." In the face of this onslaught, "Madame Blueberry" is a welcome relief. Children need the video's message, that happiness is not something you can buy. For this reason I give this video five stars.

Summary: Gets its point across in a gentle, silly way
Review: This is a devestating attack on greed in general, but particularly on the kind of consumerism that obsesses so many people in the United States. You'd think it would be hard for a computer-animated vegetable to actually perform an affecting scene, but this video actually pulls it off twice. We see two different poor children -- one played by Junior Apsaragus, the other by some kind of stalk with a nodule on top -- who can find it in their hearts to be grateful for what they have depsite their poverty. It's a stark contrast to Madame Blueberry herself, a wealthy fruit who is not content with her possessions no matter how many she has. For all that, the music is great, the silliness is sillier than many a silly thing you'll run across, and my kids love it. This is easily one of the best two or three Veggie Tales. The title is an obvious spoof of "Madame Bovary" which I unfortunately haven't read, so I can't tell how successful a parody of that book was achieved, or even if one was seriously attempted.

Summary: Just beautiful
Review: What a good lesson, and the stuff mart rap is halarious. I think the bad rap for this tape was 1. Becuase 5 year olds don't know what its like to be greedy yet, and 2.The absence of Silly Songs With Larry, but Mr. Lunt was just as funny. From a teenager stand point, I know about people being very greedy, and I thought this episode was in the top 10 episode/movies I have ever seen. This one doesn't lose intrest after repeated viewings, partially because it's an easy plot, partially because it's veggietales... You know, I have seen every veggietales, but this one is my favorite.

Summary: Loved by Lily
Review: My two year old daughter started watching her six year old brothers complete collecton of veggie tales not to long ago and she is just thrilled. Madame Blueberry is her absolute favorite. We went to rent videos yesterday and she started to sing bluue hoo hoo blue hoo hoo hoo. I turned to look and she was indeed looking at Madame Blueberry. I tried to tell her we had it at home and she could watch it when we got back, she then proceeded to yell blue hoo hoo I dan't know wat ta do and we ended up checking out with Madame Blueberry tightly in her grasp. The whole Veggie Tales collection is a wonderful addition to anyones video library kids and adults alike.

Summary: Good lesson, catchy tunes
Review: This was the first Veggietales tape we got, and it was a perfect introduction. The moral of being grateful is a great one for kids to learn as it seems they can never have enough 'stuff'. The songs in this tape perfectly match the moral of the story, and they were very cute and catchy. We find ourselves singing "The Stuff Mart Rap", and "I'm So Blue", all the time. The story isn't quite as overly religious as some of the other Veggietales are, so it is a great gift for someone who might not appreciate the religious tone.

Summary: The Best Veggie Tales Movie
Review: In my opinion, this is the best Veggie Tales video to date. The songs are great, the lesson is a good one for kids to learn and they make it easy to understand. The lesson is to not be greedy and selfish and I don't know a single child that doesn't need to be reminded of this lesson from time to time. Great music too!

Summary: BEST Veggie Tales Video!
Review: In my opinion, this is one of the best Veggie Tales videos that has been made....and I have seen almost all of them. This video was my introduction to the Veggie Tales series, and i was hooked after watching it once! Madame Blueberry is engaging and keeps you interested in her plights the entire video. The silly song (Love Songs with Mr. Lunt) is especially hilarious....I think it is the best silly song ever! My son enjoys this video over all others. Purchase it and you won't be sorry!!

Summary: A great lesson for kids
Review: First of all, the morals taught in this movie is probably something that every kid needs to learn. We refer to this movie now whenever our daughter "wants more". It automatically reminds her that she should be thankful for what she has. I love all of the Veggie Tales movies but this movie is my personal favorite because of the lesson taught. Overall, the music is good--one of the songs is a little prayer which has become my favorite song.
I think this movie also provides a nice reminder to us parents. It is more important for us to spend time with our children than to buy things for them all the time. (I guess with the exception of this video!)
