VeggieTales - Dave and the Giant Pickle

Pros: Story and gags will entertain all ages
Cons: Animation shows its low budget and age

Since in the early 90's, the VeggieTales series has been offering Christian moral values in a highly entertaining format. They use computer-animated vegetables to retell Bible stores or spoof modern culture, all with an import point. While aimed at ...

Pros: Boosts self-esteem for kids
Cons: It leaves you wanting more

"Dave and the Giant Pickle" is a great tool for any parent who wants to teach his or her kid such values as humor, courage, faith, trust, and self-esteem.

Little Dave, played by Junior Asparagus, manages to show faith in God and a...

Pros: relates Bible story to children's lives
Cons: Why are the French peas always the Biblical bad guys?!

Every kid has felt at some point in time like he was under-appreciated and wasn't being given the chance to do all the big, important things he saw his parents doing. Dave and the Giant Pickle shows kids that they're not alone in feeling this ...

Pros: Biblical/Moral Values, Very funny and entertaining
Cons: none!

Dave the Asparagus (played by Jr. Asparagus) was a little shepherd, the youngest of all of his family. His job was to keep all of the sheep from tipping over, which he had to do often because all of his brothers liked to push the wobbly sheep over like...

Pros: Clean, funny, and full of Christian morals and biblical education.
Cons: None.

My family was introduced to Veggie Tales about 5 year ago by our good friends who are our daughter's Godparents as well. They told us about these great Children's Christian Videos that had a fresh look to them because of they are produced...

Pros: great music, great stories, morals, bright colors
Cons: maybe the cost, but I can't even complain about that

I had heard a lot about these Veggie thingies and wasn't really interested. Unfortunately, any Christian videos I had watched were pretty poor quality and really trite.

My mom purchased this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter to watch at her...

Pros: lets grownups see things from a child's perspective
Cons: sometimes too many lessons in one video - hard for kids to grasp all of them

We just got this video today and it has already been watched three times.
it's a cute story and has the added bonus of one of our favorite silly songs with larry - "it's a lip, it's a lip, it's lip, lip, lip!"

It's so good on so...

Pros: highly entertaining, inexpensive
Cons: your child might not want to eat his veggies, but rather play with them

My daughter jumped for joy when I gave her this video. We've been hooked on these Veggies for a few months now and this video was as amusing as ever. Using familiar bible stories mixed with silly songs and witty vegetables provides a good lesson along...

Pros: Catching Music, Great Moral Lesson on Self-Esteem,
Cons: None

This video is the VegeTales version of David and Goliath. In this video, Jr. Asparagus (Dave) is the youngest brother of a family of sheepherders. Their sheep have a tendency to fall over all the time and his job is usually to pick them back up while...

Pros: Excellent values, excellent video
Cons: none

Once again this Veggie Tales video rises to the occasion of great story telling with morals and values built in. This particular story parallels the Bible story of David and Goliath.

The lesson learned in this video/story is that no matter...

Pros: Something for the whole family
Cons: None

Veggie Tales have to be seen to be believed. Our family adores them! The two year old has to have one at night for bed time. The nine year old giggles and keeps asking how they can do that without any hands. The adults double up with laughter from...

Pros: Good, wholesome family fun that's great for kids and fun for adults as well.
Cons: None.

"Dave and the Giant Pickle" is, of course, a computer animated re-telling of the classic Bible story of David and Goliath. In "Dave and the Giant Pickle", Dave is played by Junior Asparagus and Goliath is portrayed as a giant, wart-covered pickle. OK, so...

Pros: Humor, music, important lessons
Cons: Sometimes the animation gets choppy

If you haven't seen Veggie Tales yet, pick up an episode, especially if you have kids. I highly recommend this episode, Dave and the Giant Pickle.

There are so many great things about this highly imaginative animated series. Far from being...

Pros: Cute video that makes a traditional bible story for children
Cons: Not for those who like "traditional" videos on these classic stories

Last week we had video night at church, and pulled out this video as the first one we showed. All the kids, grades 1-6, were gathering together in a large room to start, and we needed something that they all would enjoy. Veggie tales it was!
...

Pros: Keeps kids attention; great moral message
Cons: Not enough of them!!

I guess my love for Veggie Tales began when I was helping out in church nursery. Nursery was the best reason to plop in this video in the name of keeping the toddlers quiet (in reality "I" was the one who wanted to watch it more). Whether...
