I have written a few Veggie Tales reviews before, and since Thanksgiving is today(11/22/18), I thought this would be the perfect one to do today!
"Madame Blueberry" is about this character, who is not just blue in a literal sense but also in an emotional sense. As we here in the opening song, she's so blue since her neighbors have nice things(she's seen them herself). While she has poor things(like tiny spoons), her neighbors have crock pots and sinks with disposals.
Therefore, some salesmen come to her house and take her to Stuff-Mart, where she can get all the good stuff she wants. But as she shops, she meets 2 kids who help her learn that maybe "a happy heart is a thankful heart."
You can most likely see why I am writing this review on Thanksgiving. The moral of the story is to be thankful for what you have. This movie would be perfect to show the family (most likely if you are religious) on this day for that reason. When I was a kid, I used to go downstairs after Thanksgiving dinner to watch this with my cousins-on VHS!
I have other memories with this video too. When my Dad was alive(he died when I was 9), we watched this episode all the time. He even used it to teach me a lesson when I pouted about not being able to buy something I wanted.(That was quite a backfire!)
Veggie Tales videos are also known for their Silly Songs with Larry. This episode has the most popular SS without him. Instead, Mr. Lunt sings His Cheeseburger, where he narrates about Jerry Gourd wanting a cheeseburger after a fast food restaurant closes for the night.
If you want a video to watch on Thanksgiving with the family, this is the one I could recommend the most. Sure you can watch Charlie Brown, but this takes the cake for me! (Or Pumpkin Pie.) And only one gives attention to how we have what we have because of God.
It's short, fun, and great for the family! I recommended seeing this on Thanksgiving, but this is great for any day of the year. That goes for almost any Veggie Tales show!
I keep writing reviews of Veggie Tales because of how much I adore the show. They are memories that will stick with me for life.
I couldn't say that more for anything else.
