What makes it different from others?

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Fantastic!

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This rule also applies to the VeggieTale universe. In today's short film, we learn about the uneven battle between small David and giant Goliath. The music is okay. Most of it is forgettable, also the silly song segment this time, but there is a nice song about being little at the end and I also liked the inclusion of "Freude schöner Götterfunken". This is also worth a watch if you do not care about the religious message. But I liked how they did it that they did not close the film with the tomato's final sentence about God, but with the pickle joking around as always playing a superhero this time. This takes some seriousness out of this half-hour movie. I also liked the way that one guy reacted when little David told him that he will fight Goliath or what they are told by the enemy is going to happen when they are defeated, like scratch their backs. All very much aimed at young audiences. It's an early entry of the series and like the others directed by and starring Phil Vischer. I think this almost 20-year-old short film went better the longer it went and at the end it was a pretty decent watch. That's why I recommend it. Also I learned a bit more about the famous David/Goliath story, even if I vaguely knew the core elements of it and the lesson it is supposed to teach.

You will see in the movie the Isrealites instead of saying that they do not want to be slaves to Philistines this: Jimmy Gourd (Isrealite): Um - do you guys have any fried chicken? I've got a real hankering for fried chicken.I am horrified to see this in a children's movie. Especially one that is supposed to be teaching Bible lessons. It is wrong. Slaves did not ask for fried chicken. I have banned VeggieTales from my house. I do NOT tolerate racial remarks.Context is important. Being threatened slavery, and then asking if the people have fried chicken? This was not an unintentional remark.

This is my second least favorite Veggie Tales movie right after Where's God When I'm S-S-Scared?. The plot didn't make any sense. The plot was that they were in a war and the only way to end it was to have Dave fight Goliath (the giant pickle). When Goliath went to their land for a fight, no one fought. So he came back day after day and no one would fight. Since Goliath and the Philistines where such idiots, why didn't the Israelites just not go over there every day? That way there would be no fight and idiotic Goliath will keep on going there day after day until he dies. I also hated Goliath's voice. After all of the good Veggie Tales movies that I have seen, this is a big disappointment.

Computer animated veggies...who would think of something kids hate to eat and apply morals to them, to make the best Christian videos ever? BigIdea productions. I think we all need to salute these guys. They take the same technique as the Simpsons (few people do all the voices, great humor, etc.) and apply, as I said before, morals. Great for kids, and even fun for us adults.5/5 STARSJohn Ulmer
