Summary: what a "little" idea
Review: it was painful to watch this. my thoughts were, how did they spend more than a dollar on this "little" idea. i guess when you have the sucess that bid idea has had, it can be easy to lose touch with reality. this show seemed like nothing more than a poor attempt at "copying" other shows and that all too fatal trap of "brand extension", which is fine, if the product is good.

I was very disappointed and could not even get one of my veggie lovin' kids to sit through this. how sad.

a waste of money and time in our families opinion!

Summary: Another classic
Review: Larry Boy finaaly gets his own series! Working as the janitor at the Daily Bumble *he wasn't qualified for other positions* where he can keep an eye on the town. Several favorites are back: Bob, the editor in chief, Jr, an reporter, and Larry's faithful butler Archibald. A whole produce truckload of new characters arrive, among them: a new girl cuke reporter, a matronly fungi inventor, and the wise master Bok Choy, who teaches the superhero class at Bumblyber Community College.

The villians this round are Awful Alvin and his sidekick, Lampy. *Lampy is one of my favorite new characters* Alvin's evil plan is to relase angry eyebrows on the city, making the people, er, vegtables hold on to thier anger. Can LarryBoy withstand the attack? Can he defeat Alvin and Lampy? *after the main feature, the short "Fly by Might" is shown. Standard Tom & Jerry fare*

In the special DVD features, there are interviews, kareoke, character development, and other fun diversions.

Mike and Phil have another winner with The Angry Eyeballs. I recomend this for ages 6-126. *Even teens like me love the Cucumber of Steel!*

Summary: I personally miss the old Larryboy
Review: Many will appreciate the new animation for the VHS, but I personally love the old style. We own all the videos and know all the Veggie Tale songs. I personally believe this video is terrible. My 15 month loves the other videos and always sits still to watch them. About 15 minutes into this one, he got up and requested to watch a different one. I consider that significant in itself. Other than the animation, the story is decent with the usual cast of characters. I just wish they would not have messed with the animation...it was unique and not a rehash of what has been done before.

Thanks

Summary: 60 minutes?! More like 30!
Review: My children really love Veggie Tales so when I saw this on DVD I thought they would enjoy it - and they do. The story line is great and I have no problem with that. Neither am I bothered by the new cartoon animation instead of the computerized look (although I do prefer the old style). What bothers me is that I checked the reverse of this DVD to see how long the show would run and it quotes 60 mins. So I paid a pretty penny to get this on DVD and got home to discover that the cartoon lasts for all of 30 minutes at a push - and that includes the bonus short! I am not happy about that one bit. I would not have paid the extra to get this on DVD if I had known it was a mere half an hour.

Summary: disappointed
Review: My family and I are big Veggie Tales fans so when I saw that Big Ideas had released a new Larryboy video, I bought it immediately.
I was disappointed in it. The characters look different and I agree with the reviewer who wrote that it lacked the same wholesome qualities that its predecessors had. Though better than most cartoons on the air now, I wish Big Ideas had stuck with its original format. My boys love it, but the spiritual reasons for not staying angry were weak, something that was always strongly emphasized in previous videos. Overall, I would recommend this video only if they had purchased other Veggie Tales movies. I would not recommend it as a first choice.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The new look is great!
Review: My family loves the new Larryboy series! The animation style is like the classic UPA cartoons from the 1960s -- hip and cool, but still delivering the values-based messages Big Idea is known for.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We Love Larryboy!!
Review: My famly thought this was a wonderful, fun show even for the adults.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Hey, what's the big idea...
Review: of messing with a good thing? We love the VeggieTale videos at our house but this is sooo bad. I don't know who convinced the Big Ideas leadership to experiment with this change but it was a BAD Idea! The cartoon style looks like a Veggie imitation of the Power Puff Girls and, frankly, the Girls do it better!

There were flashes of the old inspired zaniness during the video but only flashes--such a disappointment. And no Silly Songs by Larry. (sob!) Plus the little 'bonus' cartoon at the end with Larry and the pesky fly negated the whole message of letting go of your anger, in my opinion. It might have made this part better if Larry had found some way to put up with or work with the little fly.

This is just one mistake. Hope they don't repeat it or that they've killed off their market. That would be very sad. But I agree with the others who say don't waste your money.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not the Larry Boy I remember
Review: Okay, so I've only met Larry Boy twice before. Still, I know what I saw in the latest 'angry eyebrows' is not the work of a Christian superhero. In fact, if I didn't know any better, I would not have known that this video was Christian. There are no scripture references, little reference to God, and worse, there was a lot of inappropriate stuff for children whose innocense should be protected, not deflated. There were some scary scenes, bad language (I would not allow my children to call others stupid), and like I said, no mention of Jesus and His word. I don't know what happened when the production of Larry Boy videos was transferred to someone new, but it wasn't good. I miss the former Larry, the kind cucumber who did what he did because it was right with God. In other words, I am glad I watched the movie at someone else's house (who also will not be sharing it with their children), and did not waste my money on it.
