Ebenezer Nezzer is out of control! He's trying to make Easter bigger than ever by filling London with plastic eggs! But just how hard can his mechanical chickens work before they're… well, fried? In just one unforgettable day and night, Cavis and Millward (Bob and Larry) and a music box angel named Hope must convince Nezzer that Easter is about more than candy and eggs. Inspired by Dickens' Christmas classic, this very special VeggieTales film explains why millions of Christians around the world celebrate Easter past, present and future.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the first VeggieTales feature to tackle Easter directly, following their Christmas Carol success. The studio basically said 'if it ain't broke, put vegetables in it.'
The mechanical chicken factory is weirdly prescient commentary on fast fashion and holiday commercialization that hits different in 2024. Nezzer was a villain ahead of his time.
