Summary: Get 5 servings of veggies a day
Review: Veggie Tales rock and this is a perfect example. This dvd is colorful, fast-paced, has singable songs and teaches a good lesson. My husband and I get tired of most of our kids' videos but we request this one if we get to pick!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Veggie Tales!
Review: Veggie Tapes is one of the best shows out there for kids of all ages. Not only does it provide solid values for children, Veggie Tales also provides humor with its fun loving cast, and creative adaptions to the Bible stories. In summery, Veggie Tales is "Sunday morning values, Saturday morning fun". Any episode you can get your hands on will be wonderful. I assure you.

Summary: Breaking down Scandanavian stereotypes!
Review: Viking tales have always been one of my guilty pleasures, and this heartwarming video takes all the guilt away. I used to cheer as the Vikings would slowly, ominously drift ashore to raze a wearily unsuspecting village... setting fire to huts and laughing jollily as the natives headed for the hills................. but i would ask myself why? why was this all so pleasurable? thanks to this video, i've learned the answer! it's not all the violence, it's just that Vikings are fun! they travel the world! they ride in cool looking boats! they wear funny hats! they don't have to be mean, they can be absolutely adorable. just like our lovable Lyle................... i recommend this for anyone who views Scandanavians as village burning plunderers.

Summary: This is okay
Review: We had bought silly songs dvd for my son and thought it was just hilarious. So when we saw this we decided it to get this for him. It was very cute and nice. He did get a bit bored of it after awhile. However depending on your religion this may offend you. This video quotes bible versus and makes numerous mentions of god.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the best
Review: We have almost every Veggie Tales video. This one and "Where is God When I'm s-s-Scared" are my kids' favorite. The music particularly seems to get them excited. I only wish I had waited for the DVD release!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lyle the Kindly Viking
Review: We own all of the veggie tales and we love them all! They entertain the kids as well as the adults! I never have to worry about what they are watching when I put a veggie tales in. Or how much they are watching, when the movie is over I know that they didn't spend all day in front of the tv. They are the best inventions in kid entertainment yet! And the morals in the stroies realy rub off on my kids!

Summary: Best Veggie Tales Yet!
Review: We've been fans of Veggie Tales since most people were still asking "Larry who?" and were thrilled to find that the first Veggie Tales program on DVD was our most favorite yet. For those that loved the compilation of the first Silly Songs video, this is a return to hilarity, with no boring spots anywhere in the program.

The DVD also has excellent bonus features on the making of "Lyle", and the trailer for Jonah (due in theaters next year - Yes! on the BIG screen!) shouldn't be missed.

If you love Veggie Tales and watch them as often as we do, be sure to buy them on DVD - they will last MUCH longer before starting to show the wear of having been played too much. Now we just have to wait for them to re-release the others on DVD!

Summary: Shakespeare, Gilbert & Sullivan, and a high silk hat
Review: When Archibald Asparagus takes the lead in the new VeggieTales production (focused on sharing), it is with the aim of making the show more serious and high minded. Fortunuately for us, the viewers, it makes it sillier than ever. Hoorah!

We start with a rendition of Shakespeare's not-so-famous play, "Omelet." We enjoy some amusing variations on well known lines, including "2B?" "Not 2B"--in the context of Battleship. The french peas are particularly endearing.

The standard Silly Song With Larry has been replaced by a Classy Song With Larry at Archibald's request, having a couple strong resemblances to Forrest Gump.

The title story, "Lyle the Kindly Viking", features an adorable Junior Asparagus as Lyle, the potholder-making, warbley-singing little viking boy. Larry the Cucumber is also amusing as Sven, who has a difficult time grasping the fact that, though this is a musical (this is where Gilbert & Sullivan come in), he doesn't have to sing EVERYTHING.

Everything about this VeggieTales is charming, hilarious, and filled with the kind of values that make the series so popular. The DVD is even better than the VHS, because in addition to the improved video and sound quality, we also get an interview with the creators, a wide screen version of Larry's song, and a storyboard comparison. Either way you go, the animation is high quality, the songs are catchy, and it's loads of fun!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: They're Back
Review: With Esther, I was afraid that Veggietales had finished its run of classic comedy films. But Lyle the Kindly Viking brings back the hilarity with two great stories on sharing (and a classy silly song) that my kids and I love. Like Esther, this has great amination and a good biblical story and unlike Esther this one is funny and has great songs, lots of Bob and Larry and Jimmy and Jerry. Highly recommended for all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
