Madame Blueberry is the tenth episode in the VeggieTales animated series. It was released in 1998. Subtitled "A Lesson in Thankfulness", it conveys the messge that material possessions will never truly make us happy. We must instead be thankful for what we have.
The story introduces Madame Blueberry who has many possessions but is perpetually "blue". When a massive department store opens nearby, she goes on a shopping binge thinking that owning more things will bring her happiness. Ultimately she must learn the hard way that joy cannot be found in material goods.
The episode is a loose parody of the novel Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. Emma Bovary, the protagonist of that novel, also lives beyond her means to assuage a feeling of emptiness and dissatisfaction with her life.
