"Veggietales" has a special place in my heart and my childhood. This is a moral-driven kids show done right. I still find myself watching this show as an adult.
The show is entertaining, creative, and funny, but it also manages to do a good job with its various lessons without getting too preachy like most shows of this kind end up being.
The characters are all lovable and really funny. We have Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber, Junior Asparagus, Senior Asparagus, Archibald Asparagus, Pa Grape, Mr. Lunt, Mr. Nezzer, Madame Blueberry, Laura Carrot, Petunia Rhubarb, Jimmy and Jerry Gourd, and the French Peas.
We are treated to many adventures that are either retellings of old Bible stories or parodies of famous movies, which helps make the show enjoyable for adults as well.
Some of my favorite episodes include "King George And The Ducky," "Sumo Of The Opera," the two "Minnesota Cuke" adventures, and "The Ballade Of Little Joe." The show has also released two full-length feature films: "Jonah" and "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything." Some episodes don't hold up that well, but even the worst of the original series is better than anything from "Veggietales: In The House" (the less said about that travesty of a show, the better).
If you have kids, they will surely get a kick out of it. The fact that an agnostic atheist like Youtuber TheMysteriousMrEnter likes this show should tell you how good it really is. Whatever age you are, you should definitely check it out.
RATING: A
