I love the story of the little drummer boy.. and I bet this version by the VeggieTales is going to be sweet. Here is the news about the DVD release below…
Big Idea Entertainment, a leading studio and producer of children’s and family programming, characters and brands, announced today they will release a brand-new DVD title, VeggieTales®: The Little Drummer Boy, on October 1 and October 4, 2011 in Christian and general market stores respectively.
VeggieTales: The Little Drummer Boy is a heartwarming tale that retells the classic The Little Drummer Boy story. The DVD offers a timeless message of hope during the holiday season, and will feature multi-Grammy and Dove Award-winning artists BeBe and CeCe Winans, singing their version of the iconic “The Little Drummer Boy” song. Additional music will include original songs such as, “Can’t Smile Without Ewe,” and the all-new silly song, “The 8 Polish Foods of Christmas.” The title includes special bonus content and activities, and helps to teach the important lessons about giving to others and the power of forgiveness.

Big Idea Entertainment also plans to host a series of live events nationwide at select retailers and churches to coincide with the DVD release date.
