Summary: Back to their good work
Review: I love veggie tales but some of their movies in the last year have disappointed me--so much so that I almost didn't buy this DVD. I am so glad that I did though. The music is great, the story is funny and entertaining and stays close to the bible story that it is written from. I love this movie and so do my 7 and 3 year olds. And of course, the silly song is back and better than ever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Ballad Of Little Joe Is A Hit!
Review: I really love this show! BigIdea has creaded another splindid
show for kids to watch. With songs, joks and a great message that
teaches kids a lesson in facing hardship. I loved the sillysong
"BellyButton." I think whoever is going though a hard time will
get a lot from this show. I think everyone shoud buy it!

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: Little Joe Rocks!
Review: My Favorite VT video is Lttle Joe!!!! It is the funniest (and cutest!) video I have seen! Also PLEASE don't fast forward through "Belly Button"! If U have seen Jonah a VT movie, you'll love how Khalil made his first Veggietales debut in "Belly Button"!(I knew he would be there!) There are so many parts in this one that I like that it would take a mile long list! I personally like when all the balls rain down on that poor guy tryin' 2 roast a hot dog! So, if you think you are too old for this kind of stuff, you, my friend, are WRONG! this a recording: GO GET LITTLE JOE!!!!!!

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: Best Silly Song YET!
Review: OK, I know it's funny that I love this most for its silly song, but this is a great DVD all around! :) The cowboy twist on Joseph's story is entertaining -- especially for kids! The silly song is absolutly the best done yet! It's like a music video, and this kids will think it's "so cool". The belly button song is delightfully ridiculous, and you'll be laughing out loud at seeing Larry & guys as a "boy band"-goatees & all. I played it over twice, and I can't get it out of my head! I think I'm going to go watch this again. ;) Enjoy!

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.
