Brother Adam Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 [quote name='foundsheep' date='Mar 17 2004, 08:38 AM'] I wish they would start focusing on the New Testament. [/quote] They have both the star of Christmas and the Easter Carol out, so there is some NT stuff. You have to remember though there isn't a whole lot they can touch on without ending up offending. And that is something they work hard to stay away from as an Entertainment company. They even go so far as to NEVER mention the name of Jesus. Remember- entertainment.
Homestarlover85 Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 Veggie Tales Rocks the Party, and just for the kids. I have the sing a long tape. Man, thanks for reminding me to break it out again.
homeschoolmom Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 Years ago, my family, some friends and I got to go the the animation studio (Big Idea) down in Chicago (they've since moved to the suburbs and subsequently been bought)... but at that time, they were in the story board stage for Larry Boy and the Rumor Weed. We got to take a tour and even met Mike Newrocki (I always spell that wrong!).... He's the voice of Larry and many others. He started talking to my then 3 year old and, well, she was freaking out a little to see a man talking like Larry! He grabbed a Larry puppet and conversed with her that way. She was the oldest child on the tour. It was really fun. Mike even sang a little bit of "the hairbrush song" for us...

[/quote] Oh, when we took the tour, we asked about that. They said that they tend to shy away from NT stuff because they don't want to offend... not that they don't want to share the Gospel-- not at all! They just aren't sure how people would respond to a vegetable Jesus. They could do some more of the parables, though. They've done The Good Samaritan....
mom25angels Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 My kids watch 'em. So far they haven't been indoctrinated into protestentism. For good Catholic indoctrination you should check out CCC films. We love Prayers for Little Children. Rise and shine and give God your glory, glory. Rise and shine and give God your glory, glory........ My kids just love when I wake them up with that song!!!! Sarah Larry Boy isn't really condusive to wake up music.
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 The Wiggles should be crushed and melted. Thats all I have to say.

popestpiusx Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 I say kill your TV. But if you can't, then restrict usage to movies. For the record, I let my kids watch veggie tales, but as rare treat not everyday entertainment. Furthermore, during Lent and Advent the TV gets put in the closet. TV is OK I think if it is used rarely. But extremely dangerous if used all the time. I think it smells of elderberries people brains right out their heads.

kujo Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 I think Veggie Tales are good for our kids. They give have the kid-factor (dancing, talking, singing vegetables) without the croutons (gay animals, or weird adults being around the children). My only concern is whether the show makes kid not want to eat their vegetable friends...
Apotheoun Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 I don't think that Veggie Tales is dangerous, boring maybe for an adult, but not dangerous.

Have you seen Jonah? That was some pretty funny stuff, actually. I took my godson to see it but I secretly wanted to see it myself and he was just my cover....can't have a big hairy dude in a Jesus t-shirt walkin' into the movie theater on a Saturday by himself and think people aren't going to be whispering!

icelandic_iceskater Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 I love veggie tales, my younger sibs grew up on them. =)

There is jokes that only adults would understand. It has the kid factor that makes it cute but I don't think kids would understand: "Desperado! You better come to you senses!" or the theme behind the episode "The Sumo of the Opera." (Rocky and the Karate Kid). That is the episode too that has the Silly Songs where Larry is a teacher and he sings about homophones. I like Veggie Tales can you tell? lol They do not present a specific Catholic message. However, I think that their messages are ones that still need to be taught whether your Jewis, Catholic or Protestant. Virtues such as perseverence and charity, prayer, unselfish behavior. et. al.
