Trivia

Although this film was produced and released after The Star of Christmas (2002), that story was actually written later, as a sort of prequel. The two were written as a matched set of "bookends" for the two most important holidays in Christianity.

Religious propaganda?

I find it interesting that an adult that obviously doesn't attend a church will leave a comment about a religious movie geared towards kids. I am a huge fan of Veggietales and have watched them from the beginning when my kids were preschool age. I feel the morals behind the stories our geared not just for religious kids but kids needing to learn the difference between right and wrong. Veggietales knows not to stray to far away from their Christian principals but they also know how to come across the story without cramming religion down your throats. I think most kids should watch these cartoons because at least they are better than a lot of the crappy Saturday morning cartoons that are on TV now. I was pleased to see that on Saturday mornings the program Qubo is showing Veggietales as well as 321 penguins (written by the same people) and though they have edited some religious content out for the show they still have strong moral meanings on the programs and they are still a blast for the kids. Go Larryboy! I wish TV shows were like they were ten or more years ago. TV is one big disappointment these days!
