Madame Butterfly...A Lesson in Thankfulness
Big Idea Productions,
1998
Time Aprox. 30 minutes
Help! I'm devastated. Due to what he believed to be a poor performance
in "The Song of the Cebu," Archibald Asparagus has canceled "Silly Songs
with Larry." The segment was replaced by "Love Songs with Mr. Lunt." who
serenades us with a sad love song about cheeseburger. BRING BACK
LARRY! What is a veggie tales without Larry in this prime spot?
That's not the only change Big Idea has in store for us. The fruit
have arrived! A very chic Madame Blueberry to be precise. Unfortunately,
Madame Blueberry is a whiner. As you can guess, she's blue. Why you ask?
She doesn't have enough stuff. Her neighbors have more. A familiar tale
to all of us. The situation soon changes as the Stuffmart moves in. Madame
and her staff (Larry and Bob) are off on the biggest shopping spree of
all time. Along the way Madame runs into several families which seem content
with so little. This leaves her very confused. How could they
be so happy? Maybe there is more to life than stuff? Before the tale
ends, Madame has discovered that maybe "a happy heart" is more important
than personal possessions after all-- "A happy heart is a thankful heart."
With its unique combination of clever storyline, quirky music, fantastic
graphics, and a biblical lesson, Big Idea has managed to do it again for
the ninth time. There's nothing quite like "Veggie Tales." I simply
can't get enough.
