SweetPea Beauty

I was lucky enough to review a very special video. Already a fan of Veggie Tales, I was especially excited to check out this cute little diddy that appeared to be somewhat of a spoof of the fairy tales we know & love.

Big Idea, Inc. is proud to present the very first VeggieTales® adventure for girls, VeggieTales®: Sweetpea Beauty – A Girl After God’s Own Heart, which was available on DVD last month.

In a parody of the beloved story of Sleeping Beauty, this all-new family adventure delivers a powerful message about the true meaning of beauty. Special bonuses include the original new song, “Beautiful for Me,” written and performed by acclaimed Sparrow Records artist Nichole Nordeman, who is “thrilled that VeggieTales is tackling this tough and murky issue for young girls.” The DVD also includes the short Snoodlerella, and a brand new Silly Song!

Once upon a time, there lived a royally sour blueberry, a fair rhubarb maiden and a dastardly deceptive mirror! Sweetpea Beauty knows that what’s on the inside is what matters most, but insecure Queen Blueberry can’t see past her own reflection! So, when a decree is handed down that only the most beautiful can rule the land, the Queen gets nervous and things turn ugly! Banished to the dark forest, Sweetpea’s fate seems bleak until a charming prince, a band of merry minstrels and seven snow peas come to the rescue! Will Sweetpea and her friends be able to warn the Queen in time to save her from the clutches of the tricky mirror – or will the crumbling kingdom and the Queen’s own heart be lost forever? Find out in this fairy "Veggie" tale about the real meaning of true beauty.

I love that my impressionable little lady is seeing messages about her outer beauty (which she does have a lot of!) not being the most important thing.

The Tightwad Momma in me LOVES Veggie Tales. Why? Because they are so affordable!

Might be a good idea to use THIS COUPON next weekend to go get yours! (BOGOH)
