Veggie Tales - Princess and the Popstar

I became a Veggie Tales fan the moment I heard the first verse of "Where Is My Hairbrush" back in the early 90s, and my love for those veggies has continued ever since. Our first year of marriage, I actually made Thomas sit and watch a veggie movie marathon with me one night, after learning he had never seen them.

With my long history of Veggie Tale love, I'm very happy that Katarina is also a fan.
Veggie Tales Princess and the Popstar Picture
Today we watched the new Veggie Tales movie - Princess and the Popstar.

It is a little bit Hannah Montana and a lot Prince and the Pauper - with a Veggie Tales twist.

A carrot named Princess Poppyseed is tired of life on the family farm. She dreams of living the life of her favorite popstar, Vanna Banana.

Princess and Vanna meet each other at a park, and (realizing that they look exactly alike) hatch a plan to change places.

It doesn't work out very well, but by the end of the story they both learn that God has a special plan for each person's life.








The movie was very cute. The lesson was great. The silly song did not disappoint. 
That is exactly what I'm looking for in a Veggie Tales video.

From Katarina - in her own words:
"I love the names Princess Poppyseed and Vanna Banana.
I love (and I mean LOVE) that they grow pie on their farm.
The little brother is funny, and the dad is unspeakably funny. I think the robo-pogo stick is ingenious.
All of the songs are fun. The only thing I didn't like was that they changed the theme song a little bit. I liked it better the old way.
LOVE this movie!"

  4. I LOVE all of them! When I think about Veggie Tales I am always remember the day we brought Madame Blueberry home (for Josiah) and it seriously stepped on my toes! I still hear that Stuff Mart chorus in my head when I am tempted to go on an unnecessary spending spree! :)

    What did they do to the theme song? I liked it as it was!

  7. We used the have the veggie tales movie about jonah and it had the pirates who don't do anything int it, that made my boys veggie tales lovers! So much so that I actually created them a CD with all the cute veggie tales songs on it to listen to when we were in the car! Now we have a 2 year old little girl and she is all about the princesses she would love this DVD!
