VeggieTales Classics: Josh and the Big Wall! (1997)

I agree with the other reviewers who say Josh and the Big Wall is one of their favorite VeggieTales titles. It's become one of mine. It has a solid story (Joshua and Jericho), entertaining exposition (French peas cast aspersions and slushies from the wall onto the Israelites), funny one-liners ("sounds sticky"), "in" jokes (no hands), and the gentle morphing of a biblical battle into something any tyke can grasp yet not be traumatized over. VeggieTales are great fun for the kiddos but those a bit older -- or much older -- tend to enjoy them for the universal appeal. The usual Silly Songs with Larry interlude presents a wacky fun song about a cebu (though the subtitles show the accent without the u) that I dare your kids to watch only once and never sing it endlessly afterwards. (I rented this disc from a competing service since it has not been available here for a number of years but after I received it and watched it and went to rate it, I found this service has recently put it on instant watch. Oh well, the disc has a few extra features that the streaming version lacks.) Some may think this disc preachy but come on, it is a Bible story and a pretty mild retelling at that. Sunday school kindergarten-age kids and below will eat this up. Enjoy! 4 stars.
