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

Customer Reviews

Great for parents to watch with their kids!
Our whole family loves this movie (3 yr. old, 17 yr. old and parents)...the songs are catchy, and the lessons are excellent. Although this is a religious based series, it is not "preachy". Larry the "cutenumber" (as my son pronounces it) and Bob the "mato" are great storytellers.

In which Jr. Asparagus. . .
. . .learns an important lesson about differences which really don't matter; a clever spoof on "Classic" "Star Trek" is enjoyed; and a cucumber with a pet wind-up lobster stars as the main character in the re-telling of the parable of the Good Samaratian. (Plus -- "Silly Songs with Larry")

An OUTSTANDING beginning to an OUTSTANDING series of Christian videos aimed at children from 2 to 122. The series continues from this charming beginning -- and continues to improve; continues to get funnier; and continues to teach values in a simple, non-threatening manner.

Believe me, as a clergyman (and as a parent) I've seen a lot of garbage in the Christian children's video market. "Veggie Tales" is a welcome change.

There's something for everyone in Veggie Tales...
When I first heard of Veggie Tales I thought the idea of vegetables as video characters was uninteresting and hokey...then I sat down to watch ,"Are You My Neighbor?",with my grandchildren and found that the characters delighted me as well as my grandchildren, ages 6 months to 7 years. As we watched, we all laughed. When the story would end, the children would ask to see it again and again. The humor is intelligent and the stories joyfully convey valuable lessons to young and older alike. Veggie Tales are neither bland nor boring and they don't preach. The humor and engaging characters make the lessons memorable and fun so the videos are highly effective. I don't tire of the reruns and that's a rare thing to experience in children's videos. I recommend "Are You My Neighbor?" for the children in your life. This is one to enjoy together! Also, check out some of the other fun titles in the Veggie Tales series like, "Dave and the Giant Pickle", and the videos with 'Larry-boy'.
