- In the Veggie Tales Christmas Special, "The Star of Christmas," a pair of Victorian playwrights, played by Bob and Larry, try to write and produce a huge-budget, toe-tapping, lightbulb-covered musical that will "teach London how to love." Cue about a half hour of them screwing it all up. They finally get thrown in jail for stealing the titular "Star of Christmas," a famous artifact housed at a church. Their cellmate, a grouchy old scallion... thing named Mr. Pincher, mocks their attemtps to teach an entire city to love, and gives them his very cynical yet surprisingly accurate view of human nature. Towards the end, their lesson is learned: Substance beats flash any day. The special ends with the two going to the jail with a plate of cookies, a wreath, and a gift for Mr. Pincher. Bob's character, Cavis Appythart, sums up their selfless, genuine deed with a simple "Merry Christmas," and the old grouch smiles a genuine smile for what seems like the first time in his life. Cue waterworks, and Lisa Vischer, the creator's wife, singing a gorgeous rendition of "O Come O Come Emmanuel." * sigh* I never knew talking vegetables could be so moving...
- Hope's song in An Easter Carol. The glass windows were a beautiful touch in helping to tell the story.
- And all the more heartbreaking when the wrecking ball goes into them and Nezzer realizes the errors of his ways.
