VeggieTales: Very Silly Songs

Having been told about this by most of my friends, sent samples and even looked up the lyrics, I was ready to be impressed when I eventually borrowed the tape.

First of all, don't expect the program to make sense, or to be serious. The title says it all- these are silly songs, not modern psalms. A dancing cucumber (see how gracefully he moves!) and a tomato called Bob cannot be taken seriously anyway, so if you aren't silly yourself you probably wouldn't enjoy this.

However, many of the songs do have a point, and get the message across very well. And so what if half the cast can't sing in tune- it's a singalong: drown them out! And, most importantly, it's hysterically funny. Larry is a sweet, ridiculous cucumber who always seems to get things wrong. Bob tries to make sense out of everything, without much success. Add to this duo a lost hairbrush, a chocolate bunny and Pirates who Don't Do Anything, and you have a fun, lighthearted film.
