Summary: Veggie Tales Winner
Review: How do the writers at Big Idea Productions keep coming up with such great movies? The Ballad of Little Joe is full of fun and just as entertaining for adults as for children. I laughed out loud at the Boyz in the Sink song "Belly Button"! The main story, a western retelling of the Bible classic Joseph and his coat of many colors, is wonderful and brings with it an excellent lesson on keeping the faith, even when life seems to go against you. Little Joe kept his integrity and he was a winner in the end. You will be, too, after enjoying this feature. Highly recommended for the four to seven year age range.

Summary: Our first introduction that got our daughters hooked
Review: I have two daughters ages, 20 months and 3 1/2. They both loved this movie. My youngest refers to Larry as Joe due to this movie. The story is fun, fast paced, and entertaining to people of all ages. I find taking a Bible story and applying it to another age and time helps children be able to apply the scriptures to themselves and to their situations today. My oldest will talk about how bad things can happen and God still loves us after we watch this film. (My daughters like it so much that sometimes this seems like it is too oftern)

Summary: Veggie Return With Another Winner
Review: Little Joe (Larry the Cucumber), is his father's favorite son. When his brothers (the French peas) sell him into slavery in Dodge Ball City, he goes to work for McPotiphar. But just when he's made employee of the month, Miss Kitty (Madame Blueberry) frames him for stealing. Is God really still with him? What could God's plan possibly be?Of course, anyone familiar with the Bible will recognize this as the story of Joseph from the Old Testament. Told in a completely fresh way, the theme of God working all things for good for those who follow Him comes through as loud and clear as it does in the original. Of course, the guys at Big Idea have had their own fun with it along the way, and the result is another episode filled with humor for the entire family. We even go back to the kitchen sink and get to see Cordy the Computer again. A special mention must be made of the new silly song. "Belly Button," as sung by boy band "Boyz in the Sink" is one of the best they've come up with in a while. I dare you not to laugh (and have it stuck in your head for the next few days.) Big Idea continues to fill their DVD releases with fun bonus activities for the kids and interesting behind the scenes stuff for adults. There's nothing unusual here if you've seen their other releases, but that's not a bad thing by any stretch. This DVD is a return to the fun of some of the earlier Bible stories done Veggie style. I enjoyed every minute of it and bet any Veggie fan will, too.

Summary: Worth the wait after Lyle the Kindly Viking!
Review: Not much Veggie animation has happened since Lyle the Kindly Viking due to "Jonah: A Veggietales Movie" being produced. My children were loving the previous videos, but this one has been their favorite ever since it came out!!! My one year old will come up to me and ask for "Little Joe" to be played. The animation in this feature is top-notch, and Big Idea uses plenty of fun songs to keep the children hooked. This "Western Bible Story" also comes with a good moral point for those older children who do watch it. Two thumbs up!

Summary: The Magic Continues.
Review: THE BALLAD OF LITTLE JOE is the Veggie Tale version of the Biblical story of Joseph. Bob and Larry try to explain why so many bad things happen to good people. Bob wants a straight Bible story and Larry wants a western. They compromise and THE BALLAD OF LITTLE JOE is the result. The film contains all the great humor and heart that have made Veggie Tales so special and popular. This episode includes the Silly Song of "Belly Button" sung by the In the Sink Boys. The song is hilarious and reminds one of the famous "Hamburger" song from a few years ago. Perhaps Mr. Lunt should sing more love longs. This is a great Veggie Tale episode and the DVD is a welcome addition for any collection. Kids love the Veggie Tales and so do adults. The episodes are made for kids, but adults will perhaps enjoy them even more. The DVD includes a commetary, several previews, a few games, and a few other bonus items.

Summary: Big Idea did it again!
Review: This is a cute video. Taking the Biblical story of Jonah to a western type theme was a good idea, and creative. Little things like that are the details that draw in the adults to watching these videos -- even if you already know the Biblical story of Joseph. There is curiosity about how it will be presented in this format. The silly song has to be one of their best. I wish I could remember exactly how the song goes, but one of the gourds confesses his secret about himself that worries him. He actually has no belly button! How could this be? He goes to the doctor to see what can be done about this situation. The doctor, played by the worm in the Jonah video, comes in and tells him that it is quite normal for gourds not to have belly buttons. If he would like, he can get a prosthetic belly button, which would be covered "by your shirt but not your HMO." The boundless creativity Big Idea Productions puts into these videos never ceases to amaze me. I'm looking forward to more in the future. I suspect that I'll want to see subsequent VeggieTales videos as long as they come out, whether I have children of viewing age any longer or not. Obviously, in case you couldn't tell, I highly recommend this video. It is great, wholesome, family entertainment.

Summary: Awesome
Review: This is definitely our favorite veggie tales - and we ALL sing the belly button song. Definitely worth the money and a good intro for new veggie fans (play the DVD with subtitles for new viewers so they can catch all the hilarious lines).
