An Easter Carol



Length:  49 Minutes

I've seen this one.

Is it loyal to the book? No book.

Best character: This one is a toss-up. I have a soft spot for almost any Scrooge incarnation, in this case Ebenezer Nezzer; I'm also quite fond of Bob the Tomato, taking on the role of Cavis in this film. 

But is it art? I like VeggieTales. They aren't high art. The animation isn't even particularly fine. They are fun though, and this film isn't short on the fun. But it still delivers on the serious side of things. This is my favorite Easter film, and the song at the climax packs an emotional wallop. 

Major Flaws: Tiny Tim stand-ins are almost always annoying.
