Rating: Summary: Terrific for the whole family! Review: I have a 9 month old that will sit and watch this one all the way through while moving his hands and feet to the music. My husband and I are also just a intrigued by all the songs and the animation. What a wonderful show. Great for everyone. I definately recommend!
Rating: Summary: A "Classic" VeggieTale. Review: I have been a fan of Veggie Tales long before the wise-cracking, God-loving creations of Big Idea Productions became world famous. I remember first watching the first Veggie Tales thinking to myself, "This is going to be big." What I love most about Veggies is how the show relates on so many different levels. Like the Muppets and the less family friendly Simpsons, Veggie Tales speaks to people of all ages. Alluding to everything from Shakespeare to Disney to Monty Python, Veggie Tales has something for everyone. Not only that, but the show is able to pull off great feats of comedy without watering down it's Biblical message.I was a bit disappointed by the last Veggie video, ESTHER. It was a great story, but many of the elements that have made Veggie Tales so memorable were missing (much of the humor, pop-cultural illusions, Silly Songs, intro, Bob). I'm glad to say that the Veggies are back. With a message on sharing, Bob and Larry hand the show over to Archibald Asparagus who tries to put some class into the show. The show starts with a play called "Omelet" (The French [peas] don't appreciate Shakespeare much, Moliere is their man). After the performance, Silly Songs with Larry begins, but now it's Classy Songs with Larry, spoofing everything from Forest Gump to Fred Astaire in the process. The final segment of the show is a full scale production of the "lost" Gilbert and Sullivan "pop-up" musical, LYLE THE KINDLY VIKING. With plenty of catchy tunes and tons of laughs, LYLE THE KINDLY VIKING brings Veggie Tales back up to style. It's one of the most memorable Veggie Tales in several years. Ironically, Archibald Asparagus succeeded in his goal to bring class to Veggie Tales because LYLE THE KINDLY VIKING is destined to be a classic.
Rating: Summary: VeggieTales - Lyle the Kindly Viking (DVD) Review: I have only had this DVD a short time and already got it memorized. My son (1 year old) will sit and watch this entire DVD and is esp. fond of the silly songs. I personally like him watching VeggieTales because they teach my child about God in a suttle way. The characters are the cutest.
Rating: Summary: Great show. A good buy. Review: I love the Veggie Tales movies almost as much as my three year old son. They are funny at multiple levels and carry a strong moral message that is age-appropriate for kids. "Lyle" is my favorite of the Veggie Tales.Unlike most of their other tapes, this one is hosted by Archibald Asparagus who wants to "class up" the show. His first feature is "Omelet", a take-off on Hamlet with some very funny lines. The interlude is changed to "Class Songs with Larry" - a terrific spoof. The second feature is the side-splitting story of Lyle, the Viking who shares instead of pillages. The music is done in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan. Brilliantly done. My son's other tapes are good, but after the first time through... Well, they get old fast. When he asks for "Lyle", I sit down to watch it again with him whenever I can. I enjoy it as much as he does.

Rating: Summary: Quality Sound and Video for a quality movie. Review: I think this is the best of the Veggie Tails series, and I have seen all of them out so far. I was disappointed by the lack of slap stick humor in Ester, but when this came out it was back. More Veggie like than all the others I think, and I love it! My biggest complaint is that there are no subtitles on the DVD and I don't believe there is even closed caption, but the graphics are amazingly better, and the sound quality is unbelievable. I would definitely recommend this over the VHS. The only other thing I have to say against it is the commentary was a little shorter than I would have wished it to be, but it was still pretty long and lots of fun. I've watched the commentary just for fun! So that should tell you a lot! Veggie Tails at is probably the highest quality Christian movie series and even isn't doing badly in the secular circles. If you haven't seen any of the movies let me quickly explain them for you: These movies were 'probably' made for kids from infancy to eight or ten years old, but sometimes I wonder. I love these movies myself, and I'm getting old! (Come to think of it who's getting young? But sorry!) Anyway, these are slap stick comedy that's funny for all ages along with cute characters and stunning animation, and really great songs to top it off. Each movie also has a great message for kids and often adults. (I would like to comment though. These aren't pushy evangelistic films. These are messages that I feel any religion could agree with such as to not be selfish.) I think these are both excellent Christian and non-Christian entertainment.
Rating: Summary: Back to their old form! Review: I wasn't a fan of Esther or King George, so I was starting to wonder if maybe the folks at Big Ideas were losing their touch. I picked up Lyle and we immediately watched it 3 times in a row, a good sign that my 3 year old was happy with the purchase. The story and the songs are outstanding. Lyle is now tied with Madame Blueberry as my favorite Veggie Tales tape.
Rating: Summary: VeggieTales is perfect for your 1-6 year olds! Review: I would recommend VeggieTales for all families with young children! With all the mindless entertainment for kids out there, VeggieTales is a breath of fresh air. My kids loved Lyle the kindly viking and I know yours will too!
Rating: Summary: A laugh out loud, even for adults Review: Junior Asparagus is by far my favorite veggie, and he is featured in this cute take on "generosity". Larry the cucumber is also featured with his dry wit and eyebrow-raising jokes. Even my stalwart husband got a laugh out of this cute DVD.
Rating: Summary: Hopefully the first of Many Veggie DVD's!! Review: Just got done watching Lyle for the...um....well.... I'm too embarrassed to say! I logged back on to see if by some chance there were other VeggieTales on DVD yet....nope! Cant add to whats already been said about this title- its just fantastic. The 18-month-old, 2.5-year-old, 30-year old and 31-year-old in my house just loves them all!...
