Why We Rated This on for Ages 4 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Judeo-Christian message that if you trust in and obey God, you will not fail. On a secular level, Moe overcomes his fears, collaborates with his brother, and helps free his people.
  • Violence & scariness:

    While not violent, there are a couple of slightly disturbing images of babies in baskets floating down the river and then the mayor looking sadly at an empty crib.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Moe and Sally hug and flirt.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About VeggieTales: Moe and the Big Exit

Parents need to know that like all Big Idea productions, this story is mainly aimed at Christian families. Moses is transformed into a cowboy cucumber named Moe, whose people are terrorized by a tyrannous mayor. Most of the plagues are depicted as much-less ominous events, like a river turning red, people growing pimples, and firstborn sons being "taken" by a river. While certain images, especially of the Passover plague, might be upsetting to inquisitive children, there's nothing explicitly frightening or disturbing.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why Moe decided to return to Dodgeball City instead of staying with his family. Was it right that all of "Little Joe's" descendants had to work building the Grand Canyon? Why is Moe called a traitor? Why didn't the mayor listen when all those bad things started happening? Christian families may want to take the opportunity to share more about the real story of the Exodus.

    I rate this title off for age 2 and give it 1.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Excessive consumerism
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

    fear mongering

    Obviously this is a religion themed series, but we watched a bit of this movie and it was honestly disturbing. It taught kids religion through fear. Definitely not passable for the non religious crowd.
