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 Christian-lite vegetables inspiring and entertaining. --Liane Thomas

The theme of loving one's neighbor is presented to kids seriously and practically in a humorous way. The stories are told on a kids (ages 2-6) level, but aren't patronizing or overly simplistic. The first episode deals with prejudice between groups of people via the story of the Good Samaritan from the parables of Jesus. The two groups are represented by vegetables who wear shoes and pots on their heads respectively which stresses... more info
A Sweet Lesson and Hilarious Fun! The sweet lesson in befriending the new kid is intertwined with hilarious mock Star Trek moments. This video leaves kids and adults laughing and learning a moral as well! :)
One of the Best of the Totally Awesome Veggie Tales Videos! This was the very first Veggie Tales I ever saw, way back in 1995, and I still think it is one of the best Veggie Tales ever made. Funny stories with moral messages, cool computer animation, silly songs you want to keep singing, and hilarious inside jokes for the older viewers. If you have other Veggie Tales videos but not this one, you have got to get this, it is wonderful! If you haven't yet jumped on the Veggie Tales bandwagon, I suggest you do so, and start with this video. Veggie Tales are videos that... more info
