Where to Watch
What's the Story?
Asparagus Junior has just watched a scary movie and is trying to fall asleep when he realizes he's more scared than he thinks. That's when Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber show up to remind him that God is looking out for him. Later, when Daniel is thrown into the lion's den, he learns God is also on his side, and he has nothing to worry about.
Is It Any Good?
For Christian families, VEGGIETALES: WHERE'S GOD WHEN I'M S-SCARED? offers a simple, comforting message: God has this one covered. Whether you're scared over a movie even though you know it's not real or you're facing a much tougher situation, God's presence means you're A-OK. The songs are simple and upbeat, and the message is engaging, though it doesn't offer much in the way of practical reassurance. Likely not a good fit for non-Christian families.
