Second best song: "The Cheeseburger Song."

Yeah, too bad it didn't play at the drive-in.

Veggie tales are a masterpiece of bringing Christian morals home to kids. And they're super fun too. And the music's great! Yeah, veggies!!!!

I just discovered Veggie Tales this week. We had three of their videos sitting on a shelf unwatched (they had been given as a gift to our son when he was too young to care about such things). After hearing some good buzz related to this new movie, I decided to pop one in for my son to watch ("Dave and the Giant Pickle"). He loved it, though he thinks Larry the Cucumber is a pickle, and somewhat disturbingly insists upon eating pickles when he watches. I also found the story funny and entertaining. I actually stayed in the room to watch the whole thing - multiple times! That's something you won't find me doing with Barney or Elmo.

The writing is excellent. It's funny on the obvious level (for the kids) and also an adult level that probably sails over kids' heads, but allows us parents to enjoy. In that way it's somewhat reminiscent of Bullwinkle or the Simpsons. The music is good, with funny lyrics and catchy tunes (I found myself humming "I love my lips" this weekend). The themes are not watered down, or dumbed down. They're just handled lightly - like they're talking to children, which just happens to be what they're doing.

I'm looking forward to this full length movie. It's great to see some real family entertainment for a change.

Hey no easy Theology in them Poly..I sat threw several of them at a Veggie Tale day at church...I had to THINK about them.. I am going to take my grand daughters..

I took my girls (6 & 8) (my son is under 2 and can't sit still for more than 2 minutes) yesterday to see this GREAT movie. We own virtually every VeggieTales video and CD and I love singing along (even though I can't sing).

I hate to admit ... when my daughters started school at a non-denominational Christian school (there was no Catholic school at the time) I thought VeggieTales was some liberal pro-vegetarian, pro-animal rights propaganda. Then I bought Silly Songs because my kids begged me and my oldest said VeggieTales was bible stories. I was skeptical, but she doesn't lie.

I fell in love with Bob and Larry. The Bunny Song got stuck in my head one day. When we listen to VeggieTales in the car, the songs are with you all day. A VeggieTales Christmas (on tape/CD only) is one of the best kids Christmas disks I have ever heard.

Jonah was great. I loved the Gospel Music in the whale about God being a God of second chances. People were clapping in the theater. There were a lot of references to Jesus Christ without mentioning Jesus, and I felt great when I left the movie. So rare these days.

Great work, Big Idea!!!!!!!!!

I wonder what our friends at asktheimam.com think of talking vegetables?

I have a three year old nephew who just absolutely adores that stuff, I expect my sister to take him to the movie and probably spend hundreds on the merchandising, if she hasn't already.
