Little Drummer Boy

Posted on November 18, 2011 at 3:40 pm

The wonderful folks at Veggie Tales have a new DVD for the holidays, Little Drummer Boy, based on the classic Christmas carol. In this version, Junior Asparagus hears the story of a little boy whose heart was filled with bitterness and anger when his home was destroyed until the birth of Jesus inspired him to find hope and forgiveness. They have their own Veggie twist on the story with some gentle silly humor, of course, plus Bebe and Cece Winans on the soundtrack.

I have a copy to give away PLUS a special drummer boy surprise. Send me an email at moviemom@moviemom.com with “Drummer” in the subject line and don’t forget your address! I will pick a winner on November 26. Good luck!

I love the silly songs from Bob and Larry and the Veggie Tales gang!

The first-ever live show DVD from Big Idea entertainment is this delightful collection of the silliest silly songs ever sung, including my two favorites, “The Hairbrush Song” and “Endangered Love” (which we refer to as “Barbara Manatee” in our house). The live show has classics like “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything” and some new songs, plus dancing, bubbles, confetti, some peeks backstage, and some lessons about sharing and friendship. It won’t be out until next month but I have one DVD to give away to a lucky fan. Send me an email at moviemom@moviemom.com with “Veggie” in the subject line and tell me your favorite silly song. Don’t forget your address! I’ll select one winner at random on June 1. Good luck and stay silly!

For Easter: The Gospel According to St. Matthew and more

Posted on April 21, 2011 at 3:59 pm

Reposting for Easter — Have a blessed celebration, everyone!

Ben-Hur is the traditional Easter classic, but there are some other films that beautifully illuminate the themes of this holy season. I like The Gospel of John, a very reverent re-telling of the story of Jesus. The rock musicals Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell can be very inspiring. But I have a special fondness for The Gospel According to St. Matthew, the understated, intimate re-telling of the story filmed by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

For kids, the Veggie Tales have the delightful ‘Twas the Night Before Easter. And while it does not have much to do with Easter beyond the title song, Fred Astaire and Judy Garland make “Easter Parade” a family classic everyone will enjoy.
