The Yodel Napper: Larryboy - The Cartoon Adventures #3
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Larry---no, wait---it's Noodle Blabberbop, champion yodeler! (Actually, it is Larry-Boy.) While vile Greta von Gruesome plots to kidnap the world's greatest yodelers, our hero trades leotard for lederhosen to go undercover. Can he nab the nappers before the music . . . er, yodeling dies---and Bumblyburg's alpine slopes fall silent? 30 minutes.

Josh and the Big Wall
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
Larry the Cucumber has slept in late. But that's all right because the plucky Jr.
Asparagus is at the ready to narrate the story of the wall of Jericho with Bob the
Tomato. This half-hour computer-animated video from the VeggieTale folk is
another bouncy retelling of a traditional Bible story. We follow Josh (alas, Larry
appears!), who has taken over for Moses leading the Israelites to the Promised
Land. In their way is the city of Jericho, full of nasty French peas armed with
purple slushies to lob below. Focusing on being obedient to God's wishes, this
video has more Christian gist than most and is a bit long (the tales are better when
they're shorter), but for any fan, it's a keeper. There are plenty of hip songs, and
Larry puts his own slant on receiving word from a messenger of God. The Silly
Song with Larry segment is one of the silliest: "The Song of the Cebú." --Doug

Madame Blueberry
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
A new VeggieTale character is introduced in the most song-filled video yet.
Madame Blueberry is so blue, even her butlers (Bob and Larry, natch) can't fill
her every need. But wait--the giant Stuff-Mart is just opening down the
lane--promising joy to those who buy everything (a typical sales pitch: "Of course
you don't need an air compressor, but don't you want one?"). Madame Blueberry
will learn a hard lesson in being thankful. Bad news: "Silly Songs with Larry" has
been canceled. Good news: "Love Songs with Mr. Lunt" has a whopper of a tune
in its place. Note: the family picnicking near Stuff-Mart has a strong resemblance
to cocreator Phil Vischer's family. --Doug Thomas

Very Silly Songs, Plus Ultimate Silly Song (2 DVDs)
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
How's the singing-pickle genre of your video collection coming along? Here is the
first collection of songs spanning the first few computer-animated VeggieTales
videos. The lyrics appear on the screen, and that's good news since they are so
much fun. The variety of music is also remarkable: calypso ("The Lagoon Song"),
Argentinean folk ("Dance of the Cucumber"), and Broadway spectacle ("The
Bunny Song"). It also contains the first catchy number from the singing vegetables,
"God Is Bigger (than the Boogie Man)." The music in the videos is the most
consistently entertaining element of the series, and this collection (11 songs) is
great for any fan. The popular Silly Songs with Larry segment is represented by
"Love My Lips," "The Hairbrush Song," and a new, witty song, only available on
this video, "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" ("...and we've never been to
Boston in the fall!"). --Doug Thomas

Dave and the Giant Pickle
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
Another winning video from the VeggieTales folk. To teach Larry the Cucumber
about self-esteem, Bob the Tomato tells the story, slightly renamed, of David and
Goliath. Jr. Asparagus plays the young man who wants to prove himself and will
face the towering pickle. These adorable tales, brightly animated and containing
bouncy songs, teach Christian-lite values in an entertaining way. Telling a single
story (instead of the normal two), this 30-minute video goes on a bit too long, but
it does contain the funniest entry in the "Silly Songs with Larry" series: Love My
Lips. --Doug Thomas

Rack, Shack, and Benny
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
The latest in an animated Christian children's series, this video teaches kids the
importance of standing up to peer pressure through a thinly disguised Bible story.
When Bob the Tomato, our host, sees that Larry the Cucumber is trying to fit into
what's "cool" by wearing an oven mitt as a hat, he tells Larry that it's important to
be true to yourself no matter what the consequences. Bob tells Larry a story
about three vegetables, Rag, Shack, and Benny, who are held hostage in a factory
and forced to make chocolate bunnies. When the owner, Mr. Nezzar, takes a
liking to them, he offers to promote them if they will only worship a giant
chocolate bunny.
The story is based on the book of Daniel in the Old Testament, in which three
friends stand up to King Nebuchadnezzar, refusing to worship a false idol. The
slavery and death themes may be too dark for kids under 7, but the animation and
songs are fun. --Elisabeth Keating

Are You My Neighbor?
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
Those lovable, googly-eyed vegetables are back with another 30-minute animated
episode of fun-spirited morality. In The Story of Flibber-o-loo, Jr. Asparagus
rises above his town's hatred of Flibbians to rescue a cucumber who's in a real
pickle. The little guy's choice to love his neighbor ends a long history of trouble
between the two towns. The Gourds Must Be Crazy teaches a second lesson
about appreciating differences among each other. When the crew of the Starship
Applepies faces impending doom, Jr. Asparagus is the only one willing to ask the
newest crew members (a couple of ravenous, singing gourds) for help. As always,
co-hosts Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato smartly recap and apply the
lesson to everyday life, complete with a quick Bible reference. If your family
enjoys the wit and imagination found in Muppet movies or Sesame Street
episodes, you'll find this musical group of vegetables inspiring and entertaining.

Where's God When I'm S-Scared?
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber host another winning episode in this
Christian-lite animated series aimed at 3-9 year olds, combining parable and
parody in two lessons about fear. After watching a scary Frankencelery movie, Jr.
Asparagus works through his fears of darkness and monsters to learn that "God is
bigger than the Boogie Man." In Daniel and the Lions' Den, our cast of rollicking
vegetables performs a highly engaging adaptation of the classic Bible story. Larry
the Cucumber stars as God's humble and faithful servant Daniel. A supporting
cast of green onions and asparagus--wisemen gone bad--sing their way to
Daniel's fate: "We could use him as a footstool or a table to play Scrabble on then
tie him up and beat him up and throw him out of Babylon." Co-creators Phil
Vischer and Mike Nawrocki expertly combine classical, rock, jazz, and funk
music with bold, energetic 3-D computer animation and plenty of witty dialogue.

God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
Another early entry in the VeggieTales series offers two lessons on forgiveness.
These colorful and very funny 30-minute tapes are an entertaining way to teach
Christian-lite morals to youngsters (and those young at heart). In the first episode,
Jr. Asparagus has trouble understanding why he must forgive an irritating grape
tourist family (who call themselves "the grapes of wrath") after they insult him. The
second episode, a parody of Gilligan's Island, deals with the bumbling Larry the
Cucumber when he gets a tourist boat lost on a deserted island. It moves a little
faster than the first episode, and Larry's antics--always a highlight--are in top
form. Along with the bouncy songs, there's also a commercial for the
Forgive-o-Matic. Remember: bamboo can be used for many things! --Doug

Larry-Boy and the Fib From Outer Space
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
If you want some morality tossed lightly with education in the videos your children
watch, then this is a series for you. These Christian vegetables with a hip
sensibility (sample dialogue: "You are so early-'90s.") play out a
Batman-meets-Back to the Future scenario when a young asparagus tells his
dad a lie to get out of trouble. That lie, embodied by a space alien, grows until it
threatens the entire vegetable village, provoking Larry the Cucumber to heed the
signal in the sky and hop into his flying Larrymobile designed by the eccentric and
fallible inventor Alfred Asparagus. Action, music, and a Jerry-Springer-style
deconstruction at the end with a blink-and-you-missed-it reference to God make
for a half hour of involving and wholesome entertainment. --Kimberly Heinrichs

The Toy That Saved Christmas
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
Mr. Nezzer tries to convince all the children that Christmas
is all about getting more stuff. He's pretty convincing. "Billy has more toys than I
do!" whines Lenny Carrot. But that's not what Christmas is all about.
One of the toys in Mr. Nezzer's toy factory, Buzz-Saw Louie, decides that he's
going to find the real meaning of Christmas. He leaves the factory to go find
someone who knows. He finds Bob, Larry and Junior Asparagus and they all go
to see George.
George explains to them that the true meaning of Christmas is Jesus Birth. "For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes
in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). That's what Christmas is
all about.
Buzz-Saw Louie and the rest of the gang have to find a way to tell the rest of the
world.

Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed
NTSC format (US and Canada only)
Color, Animated, HiFi Sound, Closed-captioned, NTSC
Weeds are taking over Bumblyburg--flowery, talkative, sunglasses-wearing weeds that bear a
striking resemblance to the clichéd blathering old ladies who enjoy nothing more than yakking about
the neighbors over a game of mahjong. No, these aren't ordinary weeds; these weeds are
interconnected, and they are multiplying at an alarming rate. What could cause these wild plants to
bloom at such a rapid pace? Why, they're just keeping pace with the rumors that are flying around
town. Only Larry-Boy can save the city. Or can he? --Jenny Brown
