Product Description: A lonely trumpet solo and a narrator sporting a Jersey accent set a somewhat ominous, Godfather-esque stage for this stylish, 35-minute lesson about courage. But fear not: it's a VeggieTales story after all, and it soon kicks into action. Based on the Bible story of Esther, "just an ordinary girl" who becomes queen of Persia, this animated retelling tosses in the usual cup of Veggie humor to lighten the flavor of its very serious message. Esther, a young green onion, cannot understand why she has been chosen to wed King Xerxes (played by the humble pickle, Mr. Nezzer). Her cousin Mordecai (Pa Grape) assures her that God must have a reason; she soon discovers that her entire family's fate rests upon her ability to show courage under pressure. While this particular tale drops many of the comical sing-along aspects of other favorite VeggieTales (such as Dave and the Giant Pickle and Where Is God When I'm S-Scared), its strength comes from its story line; its rich, inspired artwork; and its impressive musical score. The creative team at Big Idea continues to produce quality Christian videos for the entire family. One quibble: there's no "Silly Songs with Larry" segment. --Liane Thomas

Customer Reviews
Not as funny as most Veggie Tales, still fabulous
This movie, while not as funny as many of the Veggie Tales, is wonderful. It does a great job of telling the story of Esther. The music is beautiful. If my children take nothing more than the song Esther sings, "The Battle is not ours..." then I will be content. Thanks to Big Idea for presenting this in a manner that people of many denominations can use it to teach their little ones to depend on the Lord.

VeggiTales
My six year old grand daughter loves Veggie Tales and this was no exception. The 2 1/2 year old asked to watch it too. Veggie Tales are always a good choice for teaching values in life.

A good story but a little confusing..
I liked the messages of this video - stand by your family and don't be afraid to do what's right - but the story was a little confusing. My family loves Veggie Tales and my kids watch them almost daily but this video wasn't as good as some of the others.

Good Biblical Message
Esther, The girl who became queen is a retelling of the story of Esther for children. Like the other veggietales videos it presents difficult biblical topics in a a fun way at a child's level. The story is about a young Hebrew girl who becomes the wife of the King of Persia. Esther is witnessing her people being persecuted.
This veggietales story tells how God has a plan for his people and he will always be their to protect them eventhough they might not see it. This is a very tough concept that is presented to children in a way that they can understand. Many children today are going through difficult times. Many children come from broken homes and since September 11th many children are fearful of terrorist attacks. It is hard to see God's perpose through all these bad things. The story of Esther shows that God does care and he has a plan for everyone.
I was fortunate to able to attend the Intervarsity Urbana Missions Conference in '87 and again in '93. During the 1987 conference one of the main speakers stated that we cannot readily see God's plan for us but he shows us enough to be able to take one step then shows us enough to take another step.
This is the message of Esther, in that God plan for us my not be totally clear but he is there to guide oursteps. This veggietales video shows that God is faithful to those who are obediant to him and he gives his people encouragement to fullfill the plan that he has for each and everyone of us.
