VeggieTales Pistachio- the Little Boy that Woodn’t DVD Giveaway

I hope you don’t mind, but since the new VeggieTales movie Pistachio- The Little Boy that Woodn’t released yesterday, I thought I’d jump right in, tell you a little about the movie and offer up a copy that I have to give away.

So me and the girls watched the movie, and as usual, we were pretty thrilled about the whole show (we love VeggieTales). You know the story of Pinocchio; well, it’s basically the same story but with a VeggieTales twist. Just as Pinocchio, Pistachio has to learn that, your parents are there to help you do right, not lead you in the wrong direction.  You’re parents love you and they are only trying to protect you.

I normally don’t take too much from the assets I’m provided because I’d rather write more “free thought”, but after reading the information I received with this movie, about VeggieTales and it’s promotional partners, I couldn’t help but want to share more than just the synopsis (I just find it interesting; what they do). I feel compelled to share…

Promotional Partners

            Long-time promotional partner Chick-fil-A, Inc. will partner with VeggieTales in a national promotion at their 1400+ restaurant locations with more than three million kids meal bags, five different enhanced VeggieTales CD premiums with videos, music and activities, coupons for $2 off the Pistachio DVD and in-store signage. Additionally, Chick-fil-A will host VeggieTales Family Night parties in more than 400 restaurant locations that will include activity posters, stickers, balloons, prizes and more. This is one of the largest VeggieTales promotions in the multi-year relationship.

            “We are always thrilled to partner with VeggieTales,” says Angela Savage, Chick-fil-A Senior Consultant, Family Marketing. “Chick-fil-A wants to have a positive influence on all of our customers, particularly our youngest patrons, and the opportunity to serve families through this strategic partnership with Big Idea’s VeggieTales is a great one.”

            VeggieTales will also launch its first-ever branded kids grocery carts in more than 500 locations including Kroger and other major chains in January 2010. Each “TVKart” will feature a video screen with selection button for children to watch VeggieTales silly songs, clips and promotions for upcoming DVD releases including Pistachio.

            In partnership with new licensee, Frankford Candy & Chocolate Company, cross-promotional mention of the Pistachio DVD will appear on packaging of more than two million units of VeggieTales branded Easter themed candies sold through mass market retail beginning in February. Furthermore, the music video for the new silly song, “Where Have All The Staplers Gone?” featured on Pistachio, will play in Chuck E. Cheese’s family restaurants’ 529 locations, as well as at Gymboree children’s clothing stores’ 761 locations and Crazy 8 stores’ 53 locations during the first quarter. The total promotional partnership campaign will reach more than 44 million impressions.

Live Events

            Timed to the DVD release, Big Idea will give Christian retailers the opportunity to host a “VeggieTales’ Pistachio party” in their store! Spectacular Event kits include an activity guide, posters, balloons, stickers and event disc. Big Idea will also host more than 1,500 “Family Fun Nights” at churches nationwide where special Pistachio screenings will be held in February and March.
