Josh and the Big Wall (2002)

“Josh and the Big Wall” is the movie that started it all for the Pinkston family. That’s right; it’s the movie my mom brought home from Virginia, babbling about produce all the way. Once I saw it, I started babbling about produce too. You might say, we now speak celery. This VeggieTales video tells us the story of Joshua (Larry the Cucumber) the man who was chosen to be prophet upon the death of Moses. Moses had led the children of Israel out of Egypt and through the wilderness, but he died before they actually entered the Promised Land. It … 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

The first story is called “Tale of Two Cities.” Once upon a time, there were two cities that faced each other, and they spent all their time flinging stuff over their city walls. You see, in one city, they wore shoes on their heads, and in the other city, they wore pots on their heads. Neither city … Continue reading

Junior comes forward to make sure everyone is okay, but the Grapes start teasing him about his name, his hat, his hair, anything that comes to mind. Turns out these grapes are pretty wrathful. Junior wants to yell at them, but his father tells him how important it is to forgive. Taking … Continue reading

Where’s God When I’m S-s-s-cared? (1993)

The first VeggieTales video ever begins with “Tales From the Crisper.” Junior Asparagus (voiced by creator Phil Vischer’s wife, Lisa) has stayed up past his bedtime to watch a scary movie about a monster named Frankencelery. When it’s time to go to bed, he imagines that everything around him is turning into monsters. Climbing into bed, he is scared to go to sleep, thinking that he’ll get eaten alive.
