VeggieTales - Esther, the Girl Who Became Queen (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After eagerly awaiting this new release in the superior VeggieTales series, my family was a bit disappointed. This episode lacks the silliness that makes the others so enjoyable. While my two daughters did enjoy watching the video over and over, I don't think it compares to the other VeggieTales.
As a mother of two girls, I appreciate Big Idea's use of a Biblical story with a heroine. None of the other videos have featured a lead female character. Esther is indeed a story with rebellion, revenge, and violence. Big Idea has toned all this down, of course. Still, it's difficult to find other Biblical tales with women in active, positive roles that don't involve even more violence, vengeance, and worse. Tamar? Rebecca making off with her father's household idols?
I agree with the other reviewer that Esther comes off as a bit whiny. She lacks the vivid characterization at the heart of the appeal of the sorely-missed Bob, Larry, Archibald, et al. In a nutshell: "Esther" is not up to the quality of "Rack, Shack, and Benny" or "Dave and the Giant Pickle." But it is a far better choice for your home collection than 90% of kids' videos around today.
