VeggieTales Review

One of the interesting things about this show is that it demonstrates how a little lie can turn into a big lie in short order.

How often have you found that you have to tell a new lie, or embellish an old one in order for it to keep up its believability factor?

The funny thing about lying is not that the truth eventually gets out– that’s the scary part.

“Take a little trippy down the Mighty Mississippi”!”

Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry’s life on the lazy river takes a turn for adventure when they help a stranger in need.  With unexpected twists around every bend, they discover that while helping others may not be the easiest thing to do, it’s always the right thing to do.

This new episode starts with Larry saying that he has to go to his book reading club, but when Bob shows up he finds that no one in the group actually reads the books, they only read the equivalent of Cliff’s Notes of the books.  This launches him into his reimaging of Huck Finn.

Bob and Larry close every show with saying “God Made You Special, and He Loves You Very Much” so I thought I’d list for you 13 ways you are special.

1. Your DNA is so unique that it can be used to identify your parents.
2. Even identical twins are different in some ways.
3. Of all the different kinds of living beings on this planet, only humans have a soul/spirit.
4. Although millions of people have come and gone before you, you are unique.
5. People that were born over 200 years ago had no concept of many of the things that you use right now and take for granted.
6. Your talents and gifts and the way that you use them are unique.
7. If you’re a blogger, you’re the only one with your content—unless it’s being scraped!
8. Your identity is your own, and now more than ever you are in control of it.
9. God knows who you are by name, knows every hair on your head, and sent His Son to die for you.
10. Your parents love and care for you.
11. Your children love you.
12. You have value and worth to your friends around you.
13. You’re special for coming to this site—for not everyone will today!

The central theme of The Big Rescue is the idea that not helping is the same as hurting.  This concept is brought out in a few different ways.

Tomato Sawyer (Bob the Tomato) only wants to do what he has to to help Little Jimmy Gourd get back to his mother in St. Louis.  Huckleberry Larry (Larry the Cucumber) wants to make sure to help until Jimmy gets home.

This is how Tom feels as he gets a ticket back to his homestead site until his fishing pole is broken and the announcer could have prevented it.

Yep, a little hokey there when you describe it plainly.
