Summary: Larryboy and The Angry Eyebrows
Review: Big Idea Productions partnered with Cornerstone Animation to give this VeggieTales spin-off a cool & retro look akin to the classic TV animation of the '50s and '60s. Note the vibrant color styling (greens, purples, etc.) and the wonderfully stylized backgrounds. And "Larryboy" is a true showcase as the first-ever Flash-based series of broadcast quality, introducing a proprietary hybrid animation process developed by Cornerstone Animation... that is brand-new to animation production. Hip hip hooray Big Idea and Cornerstone!!!

Summary: Cool, retro animation combined with a values-based story!
Review: Cornerstone Animation Inc... premiered its revolutionary, proprietary process of combining traditional hand-drawn animation with modern Flash technology for the production of an all-new direct-to-video franchise Larryboy for Big Idea Productions, creators of the best-selling Veggie Tales children's video collection. Animated entirely in Cornerstone's Glendale, CA studio, Larryboy is a true showcase as the first-ever Flash-based series of broadcast quality, introducing a hybrid animation process never before utilized. Great entertainment! Buy it! Highly recommended!

Summary: Entirely different from other Veggie Tales
Review: First of all, you should know that this is a cartoon. They took the characters and changed them from 3D to 2D! At first, I didn't like it at all, but after watching the whole thing (and all the cool stuff they include in the DVD), I came to appreciate it a bit more. Yes, it is a shock to those of us who have loved the old Veggie Tales. They are exploring a new medium and I just hope they aren't abandoning the old one! The cartoon style is "retro 60's" style and you need to think superhero stuff. Batman, Superman, etc. The clever lines that they always had which really entertained the adults, are there on this one, but not nearly as many. I think some young children might be afraid of "Awful Alvin", the villian in this new episode. (by the way, Alvin is a scallion, which you will find out if you watch all the extras on the DVD). His sidekick, Lampy, is not scary at all, and actually doesn't do much, which is entertaining in and of itself. Welcome a new character "Bok Choy" who states his favorite dressing. He's teaching a class on how to be a superhero. The subtle humor is there, but you have to listen a little harder for it (or watch it more times ). If you look at this as something different and NOT a new Veggie Tales, I think you will like it better. Also, if you can, get the DVD version. I was pleasantly surprised to see all the great extras. They show you how to draw Larry and Larry-Boy, and there is actually a Bok Choy quiz game, where you actually interact with the DVD! Oh, and be sure not to miss "Larry-Oke", a take off on Karaoke. They have the picture and the words to the Larry-Boy theme song and the words you're supposed to sing are highlighted. I can see kids really enjoying singing along. The DVD has a whole hour of entertainment - the VHS tape has only 30 minutes running time! Please check out my reviews of Christian books, music, and videos!

Summary: He is that hero!
Review: Geez, some folks don't like change... Some reviewers are complaining because LarryBoy isn't the same as the VeggieTales videos. Well, it wasn't supposed to be, it's a new show. My kids and I love this. It's silly and funny and wholesome. Now, "Dance with me, Lampy!"

Summary: Another great one from Big Idea!
Review: I am along with my children a HUGE Veggie tales fan. Larry Boy has got to be our most favorite character. I think that the message that this show puts across is one that the children in this day in age need to learn. With all of the violence and cruelty in the world I think its important to teach our children while they are young to forgive, and not to store up their anger. My kids have watched this DVD atleast a dozen times. I totally recommend it to any veggie fan. Especially those who love Larry Boy!

Summary: They Ruined Our Heroes!
Review: I can't begin to explain how much we have loved the Veggie Tales in the past. We have probably introduced two dozen familes to this once unique, charming, made-for-kids but delightful to adults series. Now, we are mourning the loss of our Veggie Tales. We own every single previous Veggie Tale tape, but we won't be buying anymore. The new animation just looks like yet another Nickelodeon cartoon - gone are the Veggie Tales charm and class. Where are the Gilbert-and-Sullivan style songs that make the adults at our house voluntarily sit down to watch over and over? I am really, really bummed - I just can't believe they did this. Toddlers won't even recognize it as Veggie Tales because the wonderful Bob and Larry opening is no more, and the drawing of the characters barely resembles the old ones. My little one was asleep when we turned this on - she will not be seeing it - it's in the trash can. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. 5 thumbs down.

Summary: Off the mark...
Review: I have been spoiled by high production values of Big Ideas. Typically, with any release I can expect top shelf computer animation, excellent story writing, wonderful music, and wacky humor all tied together to present a palatable Christian message without the in-your-face preaching typical of other Christian programs. With their latest release "VeggieTales - Larryboy - The Angry Eyebrows", they fall short in every category identified above with the exception of the message. My three-year-old daughter got the message after one viewing so in this regard, the mission is accomplished. I certainly can't fault them on that. I also can't fault them on their effort to expand their operations, branching out into the field of conventional animation. Some have commented here that they enjoy the animation. I would guess that the change in animation is an outsourcing while in-house staff continues to work on the feature-length "Jonah" for release this summer. I can't fault them on expanding Big Ideas Enterprises - their product, even at its weakest, is still a refreshing alternative to virtually all that's offered on television. I can't really fault them on any level; what they're doing is by no means unacceptable. It's just not the same product I've come to expect from them. They've spoiled me.

Summary: Ok, but not one of the better ones
Review: I realize this is the veggietails first attempt at cartoon animation, but it falls pretty short. You might want to rent this one first, rather than spend money on it. My children who generally have enjoyed all the previous efforts, started getting bored about five minutes into this one.
