Sweetpea Beauty DVD - July 31, 2010

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the truest heart of all?  Well – this is the question that is asked in the next  Veggietales episode from the studios of Big Idea called “Sweetpea Beauty –  A Girl after God’s Own Heart”.

This new installment deals with a Lesson About True Beauty.

According to Big Idea The story goes like this . . .

“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”.   Stay tuned for this new installment this summer!

Also on the new disk will be the new Silly Song is called “Pants” and I wonder if it will be able to top “The Hairbrush Song”?  We’ll just have to wait and see.

New compilation DVD coming this summer . . .

The girls are taking over on this summer and Bob and Larry are focusing on the stories from the softer side of life in a compilation DVD called “Girl Power” featuring Madame Blueberry, Esther and Duke and The Great Pie Wars.
