Kellie Pickler Joins the Veggie Tales in Beauty and the Beet

Posted on September 15, 2014 at 3:30 pm

Country star Kellie Pickler joins the cast in “Beauty and the Beet,” from the Veggie Tales folks, coming out October 14, 2014. (With a name like that, it was just a question of time!) BEAUTY AND THE BEET, a brand-new VeggieTales musical that premieres Oct. 14 exclusively on DVD and digital download.

She plays Mirabelle, a sweet-potato singer whose family band is on the brink of superstardom. The companion CD features 10 brand-new songs, including an all-veggie rendition of the classic Christmas carol “Deck the Halls.”

Mirabelle’s family car breaks down en route to their biggest concert ever and they end up staying with Finnegan J. Beet, the bitter and lonely owner of a rundown mountaintop resort. Matching the Beet’s heartless actions with her own genuinely sweet nature, Mirabelle proves that just as God loves us all whether we deserve it or not, unconditional love is its own reward.

Disillusioned actress Sunny returns to her hometown of Bent Arrow, Texas, to attend her mother’s funeral and provide guardianship for a half sister she never knew, 10-year old Cotton. The dusty old town is struggling to stay alive, but maintains its quaint and quirky charm. It provides solace for an ex-NFL player, Butch, who is coping with a heart-wrenching loss by painting watercolor postcards at a roadside stand. Sunny and Butch bond over their mutual relationship with Cotton, and come up with a plan to help save the town. When tragedy strikes, their plans are derailed, but hope glimmers in the distance.
