Veggie Tales - An Easter Carol (2004)
Veggie Tales goes Dickensian for this sprightly and inventive take on the Christian significance of Easter. Greedy Ebenezer Nezzer, a Scrooge equivalent and manufacturer of such Easter kitsch as plastic eggs and mechanical chickens, mounts a huge commercial campaign to reap further profits from a day that should be about remembering the resurrection of Jesus. With series regulars Bob the Tomato (cast, fittingly, as a Bob Cratchit type) and Larry the Cucumber on board, An Easter Carol finds Ebenezer led by a music-box angel named Hope (voiced by Rebecca St. James) through a spectral journey to discover the real meaning of Christ's death and return. As usual, the animation is lively but the script is less heavy-handed than some other Biblically inspired Veggie Tales. Production art includes some wonderful stained glass backgrounds. The overall effect is clever and pleasing. --Tom Keogh

For the REAL oldie lovers! You can use the translator to see the site in any language. Or help identify unknown films with any information you may have.
