if a squash can make you smile
“If you like to talk to tomatoes,
If a squash can make you smile,
If you like to waltz with potatoes,
Up and down the produce aisle…
Have we got a show for you!”
I love veggies… especially when they’re bouncing around the screen and singing and talking in those ridiculously cute voices. If you’ve never seen a Veggie Tales movie, you’re missing out. This weekend our church is hosting a Veggie Tales-themed Bible school for children. Tomorrow’s big day will feature the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything, so all of us volunteer Bible school staff went to church this evening dressed as pirates.
Arrr.
“The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything” movie isn’t out on DVD yet, so this evening we held a showing of a different Veggie Tales movie that was just released — “Tomato Sawyer & Huckleberry Larry’s Big River Rescue.” Like every other Veggie Tales movie I’ve seen, it was quite clever. If I were familiar with the storyline in Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” I would have picked up on a lot more similarities highlighted in THIS review.
The best part of the movie was not Bob and Larry’s antics, or the visit to Muscatine, Iowa (hometown of my friend Jess), or even the lesson about helping others. It was the “I can’t swim” – “I only dogpaddle” scene lifted directly from The Princess Bride.
“There’s never-ever-ever-ever-ever been a show like Veggie Tales…”
