It’s finally here…Big Idea has introduced VeggieTales: Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah’s Umbrella- today!!!
I was so excited when I received my copy of this hilariously cute movie for review. It is inspired by the beloved Bible story of Noah’s ark, one of my favorite movies, and is an anticipated sequel to the highly and very successful Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hairbrush released direct-to-video back in 2005.
Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah’s Umbrella has a Suggested Retail Price of $14.93 and is available now…and actually, it debuted on August 1st in the Christian Market (CBA) through Word distribution for a SRP of 14.99, but, either way- IT’S OUT ON SHELVES TODAY!!!
I have always been a HUGE fan of VeggieTales. Ever since the first time my younger sister introduced me to it. Now, I can’t remember the first movie I ever saw from Big Idea, but, I’ve been hooked ever since. I even enjoy listening to their infamous CD’s…I actually prefer to listen to this music while the young ones are around.
With this film came CBA exclusives, promotional supporting and Live events. Big Idea coordinated a ton of fun filled VeggieTales-themed events: sponsored by *CURE International*. In fact, to start, more than 35 movie theaters screening events were held across the country on August 1st, and over 500 Christian retailers participated in in-store premiere events.
