4.0 out of 5 stars A Collection to Remind You How Special You Are, August 15, 2007

By	Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I usually skip the VeggieTale collection DVD's. For some reason, I bought this one. And I've had fun taking this trip down memory lane.

This DVD features three classic Veggie stories, two silly songs, and one all new tale.

First up, "Dave and the Giant Pickle" reminds us that God can use us no matter how big or small we are by retelling the story of David and Goliath.

Then comes "Bob's Vacation," the new story on the disc. In it, a misunderstood phone conversation sends Bob off on his vacation depressed. Does Larry really think so little of him? And can Larry answer the fan mail and water Bob's plants while he's gone? Or will the other Veggies get in the way?

Then we go way back in time for "The Gourds Must be Crazy" from the third Veggie video ever. This is the story that introduced Jimmy and Jerry Gourd, in fact. The crew of the USS Applepies must figure out a way to avoid being hit by a giant popcorn asteroid. Maybe those new guys who are always eating can help.

Finally, we come to "A Snoodle's Tale." In this story, told in classic Dr. Seuss style, we learn of one snoodle who set out to discover why he was created. After some nasty encounters, he sets out for solitude. Will he find it there?

In between, we get to enjoy the classic silly songs "Belly Button" and "Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps."

When I got this, I was hoping to really enjoy the new story. However, "Bob's Vacation" was the weakest. Even though I love the verse Qwerty gives us during the story, it isn't worth getting this video to see. And the veggie on the street interviews after each episode were just a little weird for me.

However, the other stories are still as wonderful as they were when first done. Granted, we do really get to see how far their computer animation as progressed as we go back and forth in time. But everything is so entertaining I really don't care about that.

While there are good stories here, there's little reason to buy this disc. Die hard fans already have the best parts elsewhere. Buy it only if you are a collector or you don't have the classic stories presented here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not as great as other Veggie Tales, December 27, 2008

By	Wheeler - See all my reviews

I was a little disappointed with this DVD mainly because you can't select each individual episode.
The episodes just run straight through as part of a presentation that Bob and Larry do. It doesn't give you the option to select an episode.
(Although, you could easily just do the chapter selection, also note the episodes don't go in same order as listed in the description so you'd have to be careful which chapter you're selecting.)
Not a big deal, just not what I expected.

I also didn't think the short episodes were as cute as the movies they've done. I bought this DVD because I wanted the Snoodles Tale for my kids, but I'm sure they will like the other episodes too and you can never go wrong with the morals taught in the videos.

I'd recommend this product, just wanted to let you know a little more about the DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best video for kids, September 28, 2009

I bought this video for my nephews but I love it myself. The story is so wrenching it made me cry. Get it.
