VeggieTales Review

My oldest started VeggieTales when he was three– of course he always was the one that could sit in front of the television and didn’t have to be active.  I credit VeggieTales for helping him through when he was hospitalized with rota virus when he was 3.  But now, there are so many more options and things that are accessible to him.

It leads me to the the question, when there’s Word World, new 3-2-1 Penguins almost every week, and that “My Friend Rabbit” that comes on before them on Qubo (not to metion Curious George and Sesame Street), for what ages is VeggieTales appropriate, and when do you think they’ll just become tired a bored?

It was one thing when they were the only 3-D animated show out there, now that they’re one of many…

So this week, my little ones were watching A Snoodle’s Tale, and there’s this one part that was a little strange.  It was the part when the little Snoodle got up to the top, and he’s talking with the Big Snoodle (if that’s what he’s called– in the allegory this is supposed to be God), and Bob says that what the Big Snoodle said warmed him down to his feet.

…

But he didn’t have feet.  Is that another inside joke like in the opening credits where Larry tells Bob that they don’t have hands?

Did you ever notice how many times that they’ve tried to pair up Larry with someone?  I mean, at first one would have thought Larry liked it being a bachelor, but then they paired him up with the girl from Esther for the SUV song, and they introduced Petunia Rhubarb because I guess that didn’t work out.

I’m waiting for the episode that either begins with Petunia and Larry doing the introduction, or where Bob and someone do the introduction because Larry’s out on a date with Petunia.  Or is it just something that they do for the cameras?

Here’s a clip from the new VeggieTales episode that they just released.  I believe this is one of the two “new” segments that they added to this one that is much like Larry’s Wonderful World of Autotainment in its feel.

I’m glad to hear that Huckleberry Larry will be out July 1, 2008, and perhaps Big Idea will get back to a normal schedule after that– otherwise that would be the pits (coming from a Plum, that’s quite a statement!).
