Merry Christmas!

This is just a quick post to say Merry Christmas to all my awesome readers! I hope you all have a wonderful time today celebrating Jesus' birthday with your friends and family. Remember, He is the reason for the season!

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11

Have a blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

Robin Good Trailer, New LarryBoy Episode Plus More

Boy, it's been way too long since I gave you readers a new blog post. I was busy with a big writing project this past month, but now that it's done I can get back to bringing you all VeggieTales news and reviews. A lot has been happening in the veggie world lately, so I'll just go down the list.

First off, we have a brand new trailer for the upcoming show, Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men.



Looks pretty good, doesn't it? I'm looking forward to seeing it.

The Little Drummer Boy Is Released!

CORRECTION: The Little Drummer Boy will be released at other retailers on Tuesday, October 4th, not the 3rd, as I originally said.

I'm excited to announce that the newest VeggieTales Christmas episode, The Little Drummer Boy, comes out in Christian stores today and in other stores next Tuesday, October 4th and in Walmart October 24th. I will be picking it up soon, as well as the new VeggieTales Christmas album, Oh Holy Night.

Also, Big Idea released one of the bonus features from the DVD, showing how to make your own drum.



I'm not sure when I'll be able to review this new video, but you can expect a review of The Princes and the Popstar from me next Wednesday!

New Silly Song: Christmas Party

And now we have the new Silly Song from the upcoming episode The Little Drummer Boy!

Trailer for The Little Drummer Boy

I was happy to get on YouTube today and see that the trailer for the new Christmas episode The Little Drummer Boy had been released.



I was slightly worried about how they would handle this story because of their "no Jesus as a vegetable" rule, but thankfully it seems that my worry was unnecessary. Tell me what you think!

Hey Veggie fans! Sorry for the lack of updates lately. There really hasn't been any news to speak of, and reviews can take a while to write.

Review of It's A Meaingingful Life

From the Cover:
"It was the biggest football game of his life, and Stewart (Larry the Cucumber) had a chance to win it all. Injured in one bad play, his hopes of playing in the Salad Bowl- and living a life of fame and fortune- are dashed forever. Years later, silly-but-sweet Stewart loves his family, friends and job at the toy train factory, but still wonders "what if" things had been different. When he meets a mysterious train conductor who can turn back time, Stewart gets a chance to have the life he always wanted. Will he finally find all he's been looking for? And what does this mean for those he loves most? Find out in this story of wonder and a lesson in being content."
 
It's A Meaningful Life is an episode that, in most ways, does not disappoint. I say "in most ways" because of a somewhat minor problem, namely the technical quality. Ever since they stopped using the animation house in Canada, the quality of the animation has slowly been going down. This show isn't as bad as Sweetpea Beauty (that one was just painful to watch), but I did notice some issues such as some of the character's bouncing looking rather unnatural, some objects being a little too shiny, and several other things.
