 Good message but... January 19, 2008
Madame Blueberry is one of the earlier veggietales and it shows. Although this is a fairly entertaining episode and was the first to feature one of my favorite characters, a silly and vain little french Blueberry, the story is somewhat lacking. While on a buying spree at the local veggie Stuffmart, Madame learns that there are people who are grateful to God with no stuff at all. Then Madame wrecks her house by overbuying stuff and shares a meal with her less fortunate friends.
Not as creative as later veggietales and doesn't use an established bible story. The silly song is sweet, but the other two songs featured in the story are not great: one is a lackluster child's song about gratitude and the other is of the type I find questionable--a bunch of scallions singing about how important it is to have more stuff. My kids love singing Veggie songs and repeat anything they hear, so it's a little disturbing to hear them singing "all you need is much--more--stuff".
A decent overall episode but you're better off with one of the newer choices--Ballad of Little Joe, Mo and the Big Exit, Sheerluck Holmes, Minnesota Cuke.
 Love these videos! November 11, 2007
My kids and I love these videos. I often walk around the house singing the songs from Veggie Tales. Madame Blueberry is a very funny video and has great songs in it.
Another Great Veggietales! October 19, 2007
Veggietales are entertaining for the whole family. We own nearly every one of them. Highly recommended.
Veggie tales commenting on over buying, great! August 26, 2007
This teaches that happiness is not found in buying more and more things, it is about having a thankful attitude for what one does have. This is maybe for children, but as a grown up, it speaks volumes to our culture of overspending and hoarding goods, and greed. And it makes you laugh while it teaches you the lesson. Big Idea people are so creative. And I laugh because the characters don't have arms and legs but do all kinds of things anyway. How'd they do that?
Pleasant, but not grabbing August 10, 2007
This is a pleasant story but not one my son likes to watch over and over as he does the Larryboy episodes.
