Product Description

From Amazon.com

Why do bad things happen to good cucumbers? The Ballad of Little Joe takes an Old Testament look at the question of suffering and injustice via this cowboy-inflected VeggieTales take on the story of Joseph, the youngest son of Jacob sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. Typically, the VeggieTales version of the familiar tale is sweetened and abridged to a fault--why do VeggieTales creators insist that young children confront complex Bible passages until they're actually ready for them?. But in Joseph's case the issue of forgiveness is certainly accessible to little ones, even if the larger idea of accepting one's destiny as "God's plan" gets muddled in Little Joe's salad-bar nonsense. Featuring familiar VeggieTales characters Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber, and a baffling song interlude by Boyz in the Sink called "Belly Button." --Tom Keogh

Video Details

You've heard the story of Joseph many times, but only VeggieTales? can tell it in the Wild Wild West. The Ballad of Little Joe begins at the Lazy Eye Ranch, the Veggie equivalent of the Ponderosa. Leading the colorful pack is Larry the Cucumber as Little Joe and eleven French peas as his jealous brothers. It's a journey that will take Joe from an abandoned mine shaft, to a pizza saloon in Dodgeball City, with his faith being tested every step of the way (as well as his uncanny organizational skills). This video will also feature an all new and ever popular Silly Song with Larry. "The Bellybutton Song" is a spoof of boy bands featuring the latest VeggieTales superstars - Boyz in the Sink!

5.0 out of 5 stars Veggie Tales Winner, April 24 2004
This review is from: Veggie Ballad of Little Jo (DVD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our first introduction that got our daughters hooked, April 4 2004
This review is from: Veggie Ballad of Little Jo (DVD)
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)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!, Feb 9 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Veggie Ballad of Little Jo (DVD)
This is one of the best Veggie Tales movies yet, I think. Even more creative and funny, yet teaching effectively to the children. I couldn't be more happy!
