on 2010-08-23Excellent DVD! Teaches character building traits to children in a delightful way that holds their attention by using vegetables. Grandchildren loved this DVD and wanted to watch it over and over and over again.

on 2010-08-06This is what we want filling our kid's head. Even Disney cartoons have many messages we don't want our children to see and hear. But not Veggietales. Well made, good music, and entertaining and most importantly teaches good values and morals.

on 2010-07-20I'm not sure why people don't like it, I thought it was great and possibly even funnier than many of their videos. Maybe they hated the changes to the intro?

on 2010-07-14Afetr the disappointment that was Abe and the Amazing Promise, I was beginning to become concerned that the creative minds behind Big Idea in its current incarnation (basically, Mike Nawrocki and some hired guns) weren't up to the task of continuing the legacy Phil Vischer and Nawrocki had created. Thankfully, Pistachio shows there may yet be life left in the franchise. Surely the best-looking Veggies episode ever in terms of the animation, the story is solid and the jokes are funny and in character for the most part. Khalil does steal the show, to be sure, but Larry and Bob and Junior are enjoyable as always. The "Extreme Re-Do" gag is clever, especially since it doesn't really change much about the look of the countertop (blue walls and throw pillows), and Qwerty's upgrade seems logical given the technological advances we've seen in the past few years. Also, it's a relief to see the return of Mike Nawrocki as the co-writer of the latest Silly Song; the last few Silly Songs were fairly weak with the exception of "Sippy Cup," and I was pleased to see Nawrocki returning to arguably what he does best - write Silly Songs (with Kurt Heinecke, who's also back on board for the rest of the music). All in all, Pistachio teaches a valuable lesson, though I'd argue that the payoff - the moment where Pistachio chooses to listen to his dad instead of insisting on his own way - isn't as strong as it could have been. Still, I'd guess this one will find its way into our DVD player on a regular basis. Nice job, Big Idea.
Rated
on 2010-04-11While I wouldn't be as harsh as some reviewers, this is certainly not the best effort they've made. The story is fine and the message is fine, it's just not that creative or done with the excellence you might expect. I enjoyed this more than my wife (she would probably give it only 2 stars).
