FRANKLIN, TN (January 5, 2012) 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®: Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men, on March 3 and March 6, 2012 in Christian and general market stores respectively, just in time for the Easter holiday.

VeggieTales: Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men will feature plenty of high-energy, family-friendly music, including a new Silly Song with a theme that was selected through a recent online fan contest. The episode also includes the animated short, "Lenny & the Lost Birthday” which also helps teach lessons about handling hurt and forgiveness.

"Helping children handle hurt and face disappointment is a challenge that is common to every family," said Greg Fritz, SVP Sales & Marketing of Big Idea Entertainment. "Thankfully, God's Word gives us guidance on how to grow through these challenges. Robin Good brings these biblical truths to life in a fun and engaging way that is easy for kids to understand. The lesson topic has been a top request of fans over the years, and we're pleased to bring this resource to the market."

The DVD launch is supported by a comprehensive marketing and advertising campaign. Licensing and promotional partners include Chuck E. Cheese's® with in-store video monitor clips and FATZ Restaurants® with kids meal activity books, stickers, cups and retail coupons. Beginning in March, Big Idea Entertainment will hold promotional events at multiple NHL and NBA games.

God Made You Special! tour, which launches February 26 in 35 markets, to coincide with the DVD release.

DVD Synopsis

A long time ago, in the faraway town of Bethlingham, roved a band of merry men, led by the fearless Robin Good. Their mission: to help people by fundraising from the rich and giving to the poor! But when a greedy Prince starts stealing the townspeople's hams, donations are down and Robin's friends take off and decide to give robbing from the rich a try. Feeling rejected, Robin thinks things can't get any worse, until he finds out that the ham-hoarding Prince has also captured his friends. Can Robin overcome his own hurt, rescue his friends and restore the townspeople's hope? Find out in this fun Veggie story where kids learn that there's no hurt too big for God!

Lenny & the Lost Birthday
Will someone, anyone, remember Lenny's special day? How could it be misplaced – or is it just his mistake?!
