History Heartwarming / VeggieTales

** Meta: That little girl? Was voiced by the creator's daughter. Though she's long since outgrown the role, the track will remain.
** Also, there was this clip that plays on the 2000 VHS tapes from certain angles, which shows small clips of the Big Idea workers' kids, with the same song playing. Then there's this line, "Why We Do What We Do." This shows one thing; the people who make this and other of Big Idea's franchises is for their kids, and others. Talk about a noble cause...

* ''Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen'' may have had a DarkerandEdgier approach, but it also had many heartwarming moments:
** Esther's song after she gets taken to Xerxes' palace. She asks God why she is here and wants to know what she must do. The lyrics are heartwarming.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' ChristmasSpecial, "The Star of Christmas," a pair of Victorian playwrights, played by Bob and Larry, try to write and produce a huge-budget, toe-tapping, lightbulb-covered musical that will "teach London how to love." [[HilarityEnsues Cue about a half hour of them screwing it all up.]] They finally get thrown in ''jail'' for stealing the titular "Star of Christmas," a famous artifact housed at a church. Their cellmate, a grouchy old scallion... thing named Mr. Pincher, mocks their attempts to teach an entire city to love, and gives them [[HumansAreBastards a very cynical view of human nature.]] Towards the end, [[StockAesops their lesson is learned: Substance beats flash any day.]] The special ends with the two going to the jail with a plate of cookies, a wreath, and a gift for Mr. Pincher. Bob's character, Cavis Appythart, sums up their selfless, genuine deed with a simple "Merry Christmas," and the old grouch smiles a genuine smile for what seems like the first time in his life. Cue waterworks, and [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Lisa Vischer, the creator's wife, singing a gorgeous rendition of "O Come O Come Emmanuel."]] * sigh* Who knew talking vegetables could be so moving...

* The end of every episode:
--> '''Bob:''' “Remember kids: God made you special!”
--> '''Larry:''' “And He loves you very much!”
--> '''Both:''' “Goodbye!”
** "The Ballad of Little Joe" ups this by having Larry say both standard parts and Bob follows them up with "And that's a good thing." (for "God made you special") and "And that's a ''great'' thing." (for "And He loves you very much")

* ''Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen'' may have had a [[DarkerandEdgier Darker and Edgier]] approach, but it also had many heartwarming moments:

--> What now should I do?

** It’s possibly a parody of the “Feed The Birds” scene from ''[[Film/MaryPoppins Mary Poppins]]'', as it’s set in London around the same time. It manages to be as heartwarming as the original, even if giving donuts to dogs ultimately turns out to be a bad idea.

** "The Ballad of Little Joe" ups this by having Larry say both standard parts and Bob follows them up with "And that's a good thing." (for "God made you special") and "And that's a ''great'' thing." (for "And He loves you very much")

*** The special began with Nezzer visiting his grandmother’s grave looking heartbroken. However, it’s all bookended when after learning that the meaning of Easter means that death is only temporary due to Jesus’ sacrifice, he returns to grave to drop a lily and looks more happy knowing that he’ll eventually reunite with her once again someday.

* The end song to The Wonderful World of Auto-Tainment.
* The Thankful Song. In "Madame Blueberry", we see a little girl in a poor family. All she gets for her birthday is a little apple pie. Is she sad? Nope.

Then there's this line, "Why We Do What We Do." This shows one thing; the people who make this and other of Big Idea's franchises is for their kids, and others. Talk about a noble cause...

* The CallBack in "Wizard of Ha's" to Junior and his dad's first appearance.
--> Dad: I love you, Little Mister.
--> Junior: And I love you, Big Mister.

** "The Ballad of Little Joe" ups this by having Larry say both standard parts and Bob follows them up with "And that's a good thing." (for "God made you special") and "And that's a ''great'' thing." (for "And He loves you very much")
* The Forgiveness song from the end of "Larry's Lagoon." Especially heartwarming after Bob and his friends learn the error of their ways after not forgiving Larry.
--> '''Palmy:''' "I'm gonna start to show forgiveness from my heart."

* Big Idea’s logo itself already tells you about the type of entertainment they make. It begins with Bob and Larry noticing the lettering is backwards, with Larry fixing it, but not without Bob getting stuck inside of the D. However, when he pops out and stumbles, Larry helps him get back up, and the two smile at the audience.

*** He also makes up for his actions towards the little girl from the orphanage who asked him to buy a lily by dropping a ''huge'' sack of money from his window.

** Before that, Junior tells his dad that he's really sorry about the plate and his dad says "Oh, Junior. [[MilhollandRelationshipMoment You should know you're more important to me than any silly plate.]]"

** The most heartwarming part is when the Reverend and his son show up at the clink to visit Cavis and Milward. They're not even mad at them; in fact, they're not pressing charges against them for stealing the Star Of Christmas. ''They forgive them'', because God sent his Son, Jesus to Earth because he loved the people in spite of their bad deeds. Emmanuel means "God is with us."

** "A Snoodle's Tale" ups this by having Larry say both standard parts and Bob follows them up with "And that's a good thing." (for "God made you special") and "And that's a ''great'' thing." (for "And He loves you very much")
