Our whole family loves this movie (3 yr. old, 17 yr. old and parents)...the songs are catchy, and the lessons are excellent. Although this is a religious based series, it is not "preachy". Larry the "cutenumber" (as my son pronounces it) and Bob the "mato" are great storytellers.

. . .learns an important lesson about differences which really don't matter; a clever spoof on "Classic" "Star Trek" is enjoyed; and a cucumber with a pet wind-up lobster stars as the main character in the re-telling of the parable of the Good Samaratian. (Plus -- "Silly Songs with Larry")

An OUTSTANDING beginning to an OUTSTANDING series of Christian videos aimed at children from 2 to 122. The series continues from this charming beginning -- and continues to improve; continues to get funnier; and continues to teach values in a simple, non-threatening manner.

Believe me, as a clergyman (and as a parent) I've seen a lot of garbage in the Christian children's video market. "Veggie Tales" is a welcome change.

When I first heard of Veggie Tales I thought the idea of vegetables as video characters was uninteresting and hokey...then I sat down to watch ,"Are You My Neighbor?",with my grandchildren and found that the characters delighted me as well as my grandchildren, ages 6 months to 7 years. As we watched, we all laughed. When the story would end, the children would ask to see it again and again. The humor is intelligent and the stories joyfully convey valuable lessons to young and older alike. Veggie Tales are neither bland nor boring and they don't preach. The humor and engaging characters make the lessons memorable and fun so the videos are highly effective. I don't tire of the reruns and that's a rare thing to experience in children's videos. I recommend "Are You My Neighbor?" for the children in your life. This is one to enjoy together! Also, check out some of the other fun titles in the Veggie Tales series like, "Dave and the Giant Pickle", and the videos with 'Larry-boy'.

Are You My Neighbor is an awsome video for all ages. The movie contains great themes and morals that we can all relate to, no matter how old we are. It also contains funny songs that will run through your head weeks after you watch this video and irresistable humor. I was introduced to this vidoe at Bible Camp. I loved it so much, that I went out and bought all the Veggie Tales Videos.

This was the very first Veggie Tales I ever saw, way back in 1995, and I still think it is one of the best Veggie Tales ever made. Funny stories with moral messages, cool computer animation, silly songs you want to keep singing, and hilarious inside jokes for the older viewers. If you have other Veggie Tales videos but not this one, you have got to get this, it is wonderful! If you haven't yet jumped on the Veggie Tales bandwagon, I suggest you do so, and start with this video. Veggie Tales are videos that people of all ages love, from the little two year olds (A half hour video is perfect for that age) to the grown-ups. I have known a lot of people who have watched Veggie Tales (even non-Christians) and everyone loves them! My husband and I are as excited as our kids when a new Veggie Tales comes out. Try them, I know that you will love them.

This hilarious video is packed with fun and inspiration. From "I can be your friend" to "Love your neighbor", the veggies show us that hatred, or even indifference, have no place in God's plan. The Seuss-like poetry in Flibber-o-Loo will stick in your head and make you smile. Great for kids and adults.

My 4 & 6 year old boys love this movie as do their older cousins. I think it is a great way to incorporate the bibles teachings into every day life and situations. Any Vegitale video is money well spent.

Are You My Neighbor is absolutely the best Veggietales episodeout there. The two different stories along with Silly Songs withLarry are great! Phil Vischer and everyone at Big Idea Productions put a lot of creativity and polish in this tape. From wonderful songs, to rhyming stories with a plot, wonderful 3-D images and great jokes along the way, you're sure to be engrossed in watching it over and over (as well as your kids! ).

And best of all, it has a point. "Love your neighbor as yourself." I've seen all Veggiestales videos, including the just released 'King George and the Ducky' tape, but 'Are You My Neighbor' is the best.

This ranks as one of my favorite "Veggie Tales" videos.

It combines stellar graphics (singing and dancing gourds), excellent Christian messages (Good Samaritan story and acceptance), and good, clean fun that both children and adults will enjoy.

The Story of Flibber-o-loo tells the Good Samaritan story with a twist or two along the way. You'll be singing along..."I'm busy, busy...terribly busy."

However, Star Trek fans will especially enjoy The Gourds Must Be Crazy - an amusing send-up of Star Trek (complete with Scotty as played by a carrot) and a pie shaped starship that strangely resembles the Enterprise.

And of course, each episode contains a "Silly Song with Larry" - a non-sensical part of the show that is so dumb it's funny. Fans of Monty Python will recognize some of the humor.

Learning Bible stories has never been so much fun!
