What’s the Story?

In VEGGIETALES, every "VeggieTale" is a short story with a distinct moral, acted out by a cast of plump, appealing animated vegetables. Each story is framed by a brief introduction and farewell from the two lead veggies, Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato. The stories are funny and clever (even when the lesson is being delivered), and the songs are catchy. Some of the newly edited TV tales (not all episodes are edited for TV), unlike the best-selling video and DVD series, deal with basic moral tenets, like forgiveness and the Golden Rule, rather than biblical stories and instruction. The lessons at the heart of these episodes are the kind that should be palatable to viewers of any -- or no -- religious persuasion.

Is It Any Good?

Because the morals usually veer toward the obvious, Veggietales will probably be most amusing for younger kids, or, perhaps more accurately, less sophisticated viewers. It's not the lessons themselves that older kids might object to -- more the fact that you can see them coming a mile away, and even the best songs can't make getting there any more exciting.
