Our favorite plunger-headed hero is back in this wacky animated adventure of madness and mayhem starring Larry the Cucumber. A weed has popped up in a crack in the sidewalk and starts spreading rumors about the good citizens of Bumblyberg. With a large head of yellow hair and a voice that sounds remarkably like Joan Rivers, it’s hard to ignore this weed, especially with her bright red lipstick.

Dave and the Giant Pickle (1996)

In this VeggieTales movie, we find Bob and Larry on the kitchen counter, as usual. What is not usual is Larry’s outfit.

Bob decides that what Larry needs (aside from a new wardrobe manager) is a lesson in self-esteem, and so he tells him the story of David and Goliath. David (Junior Asparagus) lived on a sheep ranch … Continue reading →

The Toy That Saved Christmas (2002)

Okay, so it’s not Christmas anymore, but I’m trying to review the VeggieTales movies in order and this one comes next. We’ll keep the spirit of Christmas alive all year! Once upon a time, there was a town that didn’t “get” Christmas. They had it, but they didn’t understand it. They thought it was solely for the purpose of getting presents, and the television commercials didn’t help any. All day long, the people were bombarded with advertisements specifically designed to make the children whine and scream for that particular toy. It was a cranky, unhappy town. Up on the hill … Continue reading →
