(More customer reviews)This was a good buy. The DVD contains 3 separate episodes, which is new for 3-2-1 Penguins.
The first one is "More is More" which I loved. The children (Jason and his twin sister Michelle) are interested in a sugary cereal called Sugar Frosted Black Holes, but get called away on a mission with their friends the Penguins. They're called to a planet Gutt because its gravitational field isn't working properly. On the way to the planet, they come across some of the cereal, and Jason and Kevin become addicted. Even though they are full, they want more. Once the penguins arrive at the planet, they see that the leader of the planet has put on a lot of weight compared to his picture on the wall. He has also been eating the sugary cereal. His home is also covered with video games. Michelle comments that it just seems like too much, and she's waiting for a lesson from Saul. Jason figures out that sugar in the cereal is the cause of the gravitational imbalance, and as soon as everyone says "I've had enough" balance is restored. It is a great lesson in gluttony, excess, and self-control. I especially liked the fact that a sugary cereal was at the base of all the problems.
The next one is "The Green-Eyed Monster" which of course is about envy and jealousy. It starts with Michelle being jealous that Jason's room is .05 meters bigger than hers. This is how they normally set up the story, a problem at home for the children gets played out in the Penguins mission. In this case they visit a planet of sheep, and boy does the captain make a fool out of himself when he meets them! "It's nice to meet ewe. Do you get it E-W-E?" and of course he just won't drop it. There is a fence dividing the land, and the sheep on both sides think the other side's grass is greener. Even after they switch sides, the still believe the other side is greener. Then a real green eyed monster appears and is destroying everything. Michelle discovers that you have to be grateful for what you have to get rid of the monster.
The last one is "Give and Let Give" which is the story of yard art fighting over a pond. Pink flamingos and garden gnomes, the message here is sharing.
If you're new to 3-2-1 Penguins, they are wonderful. The animation is beautiful, with rich colors, and a three dimensional appearance. The penguins are hysterical, and the messages are meaningful, yet simple enough for a child to understand. Often a Bible verse is used to back up the moral of the story. They are done by the same people who do Veggie Tales, only now everybody has hands.
