I'd argue The Prince of Egypt movie from 1998 is the best, but I wouldn't be upset if the majority say Veggie Tales.
I took the Prince of Egypt as judeochristian, but I'm not religious so maybe I'm wrong.
I think it's pretty explicitly Jewish, they've got Hebrew excerpts of Mi Chamocha in there.
DELIVER US
Silly songs with Larry are always a highlight. I mean everyone's got a water buffalo?
Well where's my water buffalo? Why don't I have a water buffalo?
There's also a Veggietales episode where they do a spin on the story where King David essentially rapes a lady named Bathsheba then indirectly murders her husband to keep it quiet.
The Veggietales version involved Larry the Cucumber stealing a rubber ducky from BATHsheba.
I think they said they took it as a challenge to make it work, and on its own it's pretty good, but yeah the message would obviously get lost on kids who have no idea what sex is.
That, and it always bugged me that King George/David was told he shouldn't steal the ducky because he had "many duckies". Bearing in mind the original was a woman he lusted after.
Oh and fun fact, that was where the "what you did has made God very unhappy" meme comes from
Can't believe he chose THAT instead of just wishing for more wishes.
It's just like the bible itself! Apart from all the genocide and slavery and rape and stuff, of course..
I love the part where some kids make fun of a bald guy, then God sents a bear and it mauls and eats them.
But Larry, you don't have any hair. Why do you need a hairbrus--auuugh bears why are there bears
Now that's a show I'd watch
Personally, the super awkward porn parts (such as the one with former lovers who were hung like donkeys) are highlights in that book the mega-hypocrites keep forcing on children 😂
What about Sodom when people want to force onto the angels and then that guy says: oh no! Not the angels! Do my daughters!
And then everyone says: yuck, we don't want your daughters whats wrong with you.
So the angels blind everyone and then kill the city.
Hence the lesson.
And of course, Christian fundie bigots take that story to mean that same sex attraction is evil! These fucking people 🤦
Queue sequence of 2000 years of Christian influence leading to the creation of CGI.
My go to karaoke songs are from veggie tales
OH WHERE IS MY HAIRBRUSH
Cheeseburger please do not get angry!!!!!!
Long before Veggie Tales, the Lutherans gave us Davey & Goliath. A claymation TV show about a boy and his talking dog who face moral conundrums.
There was a scene from that show that I've carried around for many years as I was a target demographic for the show. Goliath somehow was stuck and alone on a building structure, quite possibly a girder. I believe he started howling from being scared and alone and it reduced me to sobbing in front of the TV. Quite possibly my generations "Brave Little Toaster."
Oh I remember that. Claymation is so weird.
Claymation is a blessing to society
Everyone around him: "What the fuck is a TV show?"
"you woudn't get it"
Soon to be a comic by reddit's very own MilesTheNewKid!
