In true Veggie Tales fashion, the story of the Little Drummer Boy is told with fun Veggie Tale flare including some references to Star Wars which lend an interesting (hilarious) twist to the tale of old. Aaron (played by Junior) finds himself going through some rough times due to a series of unfortunate events. His faith and trust in both God and humanity is shaken. The story is rather sad at the beginning, so some kids may have a difficult time with it. The mood is lightened by Veggie Tale style humor in an attempt to keep the story from being too dark. We really enjoyed the Veggie Tales version of Little Drummer Boy especially with the various movie spoofs contained in it. It did a great job getting the message across in a fun yet meaningful way.
Veggie Tales has released a brand new Christmas cd – O Holy Night – to go along with the Little Drummer Boy release which features:
- Hark the Herald Angels Sing

It’s a nice blend of songs song by your favorite Veggie Tales characters as well as well known artists. (On a side note, Munchkin did not care for this particular rendition of Little Drummer Boy which is one of her favorite Christmas songs.) Special packages which include both the cd and dvd are available through the Veggie Tales store. The dvd and cd can be purchased individually at your favorite store or online.
