Parents need to know that some of these TV episodes aren't the same VeggieTales you'll find on DVD and video -- they're a newly edited version. The morals remain as strong and clearly (if not subtly) presented as ever, but the biblical verses and stories are gone. It's also worth noting that the main characters always seem to be male.
Positive messages:The heart of every VeggieTales episode is its moral about virtues honesty, trust, or faith. That said, it's worth noting that the main characters are almost always male.
I loved this show in the 3rd Grade. I even purchased the "Silly Songs With Larry" CD so I could listen to it every day. This show is absolutely perfect for Christians like me. I do remember one episode were they said "stupid" though, :(.
I've been watching veggietales since I was little and it basically has a bunch of Bible stories, with all the violence taken out. Like in Ester instead of being hung, they went to the Island of Perpetual Tickling. And in Joshua and the battle of Jerrico, they threw grape slushies at them. Then there was a pie war. There are silly songs with lary, one of which is called schoolhouse polka, where he is talking about homophones, adjectives, etc. It also makes serious situations light and good for younger kids to understand, while still keeping it very much like any origional story that they use. Beware, though, you might end up getting the songs stuck in your head or find something in the show that makes you laugh every time you see it.
This show is the best! the silly songs are really funny and you learn good values while watching it. The old ones are way better, because the silly songs are less funnier in the new ones.good bible values.the people that say this is dumb is dumb!
I loved VeggieTales since I was a few months old. My mom would always buy me lots of VeggieTales items, because she knows how much I love it. My brother gave me his Larry the cucumber stuffy that when you turn it inside out he is Larry Boy. He gave it to me when I was like seven years old. Everytime it comes on I tell near people or my friends how long I've loved it and how much I love it! Even when I go to church at Lakewood/Kid'sLife! Im VeggieTales biggest fan!
My kiddos love it. They sing the songs all the time. Even my husband will stop for certain songs to sing along, which is not typically something he would do with other movies. It is just great Christian family fun!
When I was a kid I absolutely adored Veggie Tales. Sometimes I still borrow the old VHS tape of it from the library and watch it just for old time's sake. Great for kids from 3 to 7.
We love Veggie Tales in our house. Always a positive message. Sometimes a little difficult to transition story from Veggie Tales to actual Bible stories, though. The songs are fun. A great concept and a great show. Too bad for the people that only see the show on TV because the miss Silly Songs with Larry. Something great for kids and a show parents can enjoy too!!!
This is a great show for kiddies. They learn about Bible stories in a fun, non-scary, kid-friendly way. Plus, they learn how to be humble, kind, etc. Great choice.
Awesome Animated (Practicallly) [for children, i mean] Bible.
My child hood right there. I grew up on veggietales since i wasnt able to go to sunday school. But this was great. cute laughs, great for kids, nice lessons. But VERY religious. Centered toward Christians. Jewish people might accept certain episodes, but mostly christianity is the main concept of this show.
