EASTER CAROL
The True Meaning of Easter
What You Need To Know
AN EASTER CAROL is a delightful VeggieTales successor to their wonderful program THE STAR OF CHRISTMAS. An overtly evangelistic video, it takes Charles Dickens’ CHRISTMAS CAROL and adapts it to Easter. Uncle Mezzer believes that Easter is about plastic eggs and candy. He wants to tear down the church and build Easterland. The Pastor and his family, as well as Cavis and Milworg, are at a loss at how to change Uncle Mezzer’s mind. So, it’s up to Hope, a little angel with a living heart to take Uncle Mezzer on a wild trip into his past, present and future to help him learn the true meaning of Easter.
Although the theme is familiar, the execution is unique, winsome, funny, and lively. Each character has a great deal of personality. The only negative in the video is the hint of Uncle Mezzer grandmother’s ghost, although she says, “I am not a ghost; I am a vision. There are no such things as ghosts.” EASTER CAROL is a wonderful evangelistic video for children and their friends.
