Dvd Features

It also includes an adorable new Silly Song, Goodnight Junior, that is sure to make any parent chuckle. We’ve all “been there, done that.”

Our Thoughts

In true VeggieTales style, It’s a Meaningful Life takes a familiar, classic Christmas movie and turns it into a fun, whimsical tale for kids.  This tale of being content with your current life and trusting God is one that all kids will need to know.  They need to know that they are truly important to God just the way they are.  Their life is meaningful especially when they are living for God. A servant’s heart is a beautiful thing, and fame and fortune aren’t always what they are cracked up to be.

Our whole family enjoyed this latest VeggieTales episode.  Goodnight Junior was hilarious as it was all too familiar.  Meant to Be is a beautiful song of hope written by Steven Curtis Chapman.  Viewers will want to make sure they watch the video as well as the behind the song interview with Steven Curtis Chapman.

VeggieTales It’s a Meaningful Life is sure to delight viewers young and old.
