Summary: The best veggie tale yet!
Review: Wow!
I didn't think they could top my other favorites. This one is simple and direct about the Christian meaning of Easter. I would say that it explains the true meaning of Christianity (pretty impresive for an animated adventure!). The stained glass panels which tell the story at the end of the movie are well done, and I really enjoyed watching this with my kids. This is the best Veggie Tale in a while. My sincere thanks to the people who produced this movie.

Summary: Best Piece of Work yet
Review: Yes, there's no silly song :(
Yes, Bob and Larry take a back seat to Nezzar :(But I must say this is such a solid piece of work for Big Idea, that I really can't complain. The music is excellent. The humor is very witty. The characters are very lovable. The only problem is my son just wants to see it over and over and over. The best part of this video is that for the first time VeggieTales gives the whole Gospel message for kids. It's all here: Jesus birth, life, death, and resurrection! Unlike other VeggieTales which use Old Testament stories as a means to promote great virtues and morals, this video uses a fun story to promote the story of Jesus and the hope we receive from his victory over death. This video isn't branded "Christian" at the end with a single verse from Qwerty, rather it is thoroughly Christian through and through. The closest Big Idea got to this previously was with its Christmas videos--which rightly only focused on Jesus' birth. This video truly rounds out the VeggieTales catalog. Neither the animation nor the theology could be any better. Although it coincides with the Star of Christmas video, I strongly disagree with the reviewer who says that you need to see that video first. Both of these videos work well as stand-alones...in fact, if I were to buy only one, this is the one of the two to buy. p.s. Although the packaging refers to two animated shorts, they are nowhere to be found on the DVD. Since the Big Idea website does not refer to these shorts in their description of the product, I am guessing that they were removed from the DVD at the last minute.
