The good old days.

I remember Veggie Tales from when I was a kid, and then my nephew started watching them. I have seen them all. I first heard about Lord of the Bean when I was a Veggie Tales life with the little guy. I was a little more excited than I should have been but hey its LOTB. If done right it should be quite funny.

Well, my church was playing it for the Sunday School this morning, so I stopped in and was able to watch most of it, and I honestly didn't think it was anything special. As far as plot went, it had very little to do with LotR except in very rudimentary terms. (Granted, they were trying to put what was an essentially 10 hour movie into 30 min.) And even some of the themes I thought they might draw into it (mercy, friendship...) weren't there - they turned it into a thing about using your gifts. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was disappointed by it.

There was some good humor in it - for example, a slant on the Keebler Elves, but I didn't think it was as funny as most of the VeggieTales movies.

The Eye

Personally i loved VT as a smaller kid... and i still do. But when i heard they were mimicking LOTR i got sort of ticked. I always get ticked when people copy lord of the rings...

Origin of The Ents

What if, when Yavanna created The Ents, she used the mixed up parts of Trees and Vegetables. Then a Sycamore and a Cabbabage would be a Sycacabbage, or a Hazel and Broadbean would be a Hazbean, a Yew and Turnip would be a Yewturn but maybe an Ash and Brocolli would be a little Brash.

I watched VT LotB with my little nephew the other day actually. Being a huge fan of Vt as a kid and LOTR now and forever more, I thought it was quite amusing and entertaining. Thats just my opinion though. And if it makes a difference my 4 year old nephew liked it too.

I adore Vegitales. This movie had me laughing the entire time, especially the Silly Song. What can I say? Puns of that caliber have me on the floor in tears from laughing so hard.

And the elf with the cookie in the tree...

But my favorite line from the whole thing was, "Cookie Man say no." I think I stopped breathing for about five minutes after that one.

I got this movie for Christmas. Its absolutly hilarious. I'm sure anyone on this site would enjoy it.

My favorite part was the guy with his "new umbrella".
