A great conversation-starter to watch with the kids
I bought this video today for our 3- and 1-year old kids, who love the other "Veggie Tales" they've seen. But I also bought it for myself, thinking the "Gilligan's Island" spoof would be funny, and it truly was. Larry and Bob as "The Skipper" and his little buddy were right on target - it made me embarrased to see how much I remembered about that show! The story of Junior Asparagus getting his feelings hurt by the Grapes of Wrath initiated a discussion not only about forgiveness, but also about intentional cruelty. These tapes are wonderful for starting conversations with your children concerning morals, behavior and Bible teachings. Preschoolers just beginning to understand about making a mistake or causing pain will enjoy and benefit from this video. The music, as always, is a gas.
Great movie!!!
Sorry to hear the previous buyer got a damaged copy. They should return it instead of giving the movie a bad review. This was a wonderful illustration on forgiveness. It shows how kindness and forgiveness can change the hearts of others and how good it feels to forgive, even when we are hurt. It is just another fabulous Veggie movie!
The Grapes of Wrath and a Spin off of Gilligan's Island
This is a wonderful movie especially for young children. There are two stories in this video, including "The Grapes of Wrath", which is about sort of a hick family that is very rude that Junior Asparagus sets back on the right track. The other story is Larry as "Gilligan" and Bob as "the Skipper". They use their real names in the story, but it is obvious that these are the characters they are supposed to be portraying. The whole video is about forgiveness (obviously) and how God can work in your hearts, even when you are very little.
