According to the bigidea web site, this DVD contains a lot of previously-released material. The following paragraph is copied from their site:

Short Features Include: Binky the Opera Singer, Going Up, Larry's Blues, Dr. Jiggle & Mr. Sly, Paco and the Singing Aardvark, Omelet, Gated Community, The Englishman Who Went Up The Hill, Larry's Lagoon, Paco and the Chicken, Modern Major General, Forgive-O-Matic, Lunch (A Parable), The Story of St. Patrick, Larry's High Silk Hat

Now of those, there are only three I'm not sure I've already seen (Binky and the Opera Singer -- although that may have been the 10-second clip on "Autotainment" -- and the two Paco shorts). The rest I'm certain I've seen on other VeggieTales DVDs. So if you've seen the entire collection, this is going to be mostly, if not entirely, repeats.

That said, a repeat of a VeggieTale is still better than 90% of what's out there on television or on the sales racks today, but it's difficult to justify the cost if you actually own all these shorts already. So, take a close look before you buy.

A neighbor loaned me their copy of this dvd the other day to watch with my toddler and I had to order a copy of our own because he loved it that much! Even though he's seen most of the material on other dvds or in the series, this is still a great compilation and perfect for when we don't necessarily have time to watch a whole dvd. (We do the same with the Silly Songs dvds, too ... pop one in just long enough for one or two songs while getting ready to head out.)

I've loved VeggieTales since I was a teenager, and now my son loves them too. I love sitting down to watch the cute little movies with their simple messages with him. However, I think they dropped the ball on this one. It's really just a compilation of scenes and songs from other videos. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, but I'm surprised that they didn't include any new content to keep it interesting. As it is, it's a little repetitive and disappointing.

This DVD cracks me up!! My husband too- it's just hilarious and has some great messages for our boys. I highly recommend it. The songs are hilarious!

This came here in excellent condition and was here way sooner than i ever expected. Will definitaley order from this place again! Plus veggie tales is just awesome no matter how old you are

It's nice having a selection of DVDs to choose from that actually teach our children possitive lessons about life and how to treat others. I thoroughly enjoy watching this DVD with my 2 2/1 year old and catch myself laughing at the witty remarks. We received this DVD for a birthday and have since enjoyed it so much that we're ordering other volumes as well. It's refreshing knowing that there are artists out there that care about the content our children are viewing. With so much garbage on the T.V. these days, I feel safe allowing my child to learn lessons of kindness, sharing, consideration, forgiveness, hard work, etc. from these episodes.

Wonderful way to entertain the children and still have them learn Godly lessons. We thouroughly enjoyed this movie.

This was given to my granddaughter. She loves ALL the Veggie Tales. I cannot wait to see it with her on my next visit.

Lessons From the Sock Drawer is a mix of old lessons and new. As usual the story lines are well drawn so children can relate and follow them easily. There is the ever present humor that adults even chuckle at. This is a movie the whole family can enjoy and learn from.

I bought this for my grandchildren. We love Veggie tales and know there will be nothing inappropriate and always a good message.
This seems to be a combination of several older stories, however we loved it because of lot of ours are on tapes not DVD.
