New VeggieTales release - The Penniless Princess

Big Idea Entertainment is set to release a brand new VeggieTales DVD this summer.

The Penniless Princess - God's Little Girl is out on 11 August and follows the release of the popular Sweetpea Beauty and Princess & the Pop Star titles, which feature lessons of specific interest to young girls.

The story in the Penniless Princess is based on the children's book, A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

The main character, Sarah Crew, has everything a little girl could want – a loving family, lots of friends and a closet full of frilly dresses, but when life takes a turn and Sarah goes from riches to rags, she faces a challenge to realise that her true worth lies not in what she has, but what she has in her heart.

It aims to teach an important lesson to children about knowing their true worth in God's eyes and trusting in Him no matter what happens in life.

There is lots of fun music for the family, with the all-new Silly Song "Best Friends Forever" and the featured song "No Matter What", both in singalong versions in the DVD bonus features.

Other bonus features include a special tour of London with the popular French Peas characters, a hilarious look at the history of the Teddy Bear, a discussion guide for parents and behind the scenes clips.

“Parents are longing for media with a message that helps their little ones understand their unique value and true worth,” says Big Idea's Greg Fritz.

“Our ‘penniless’ princess is the opposite of traditional royalty – she’s not wealthy and she’s not glamorous.

"Yet she is rich with faith, hope and love and forgiveness – qualities that help her face life with strength of character and a strong sense of worth, which is a treasure that will last a lifetime.”
