Definitely some of the stories that have a good moral to them, specifically as told by 90s VeggieTales.
• Dave facing off against the giant pickle, showing little people can do big things too. Though, I wouldn’t recommend fighting someone much bigger than you, so half a gold start taken away for that.
• Definitely the fib alien from Larry Boy, where telling the truth instead of lying saves the day.
On a side note, absolutely LOVE the early Larry Boy so much more than any other Larry Boy versions since he was a superhero who was useless and was a side character given the spotlight since he never was needed. Instead, it was always someone else more relevant to the problem solving it through using the lesson of the episode.
• The episode where Jimmy and Jerry Gourd save the U.S.S. Applepies from a giant popcorn meteor and ends with a song about being friends with people who are different, despite their differences, leading to Junior inviting someone who probably just moved in from another country to his birthday party.
But definitely not putting the Rack, Shack, and Benny episode into the good parts because that episode unnerves me to this day. Three workers at a chocolate factory get sent into an incinerator and come out unscathed thanks to the miracle of plot arm… I mean God not wanting his loyal followers to die before their time and sending probably Veggie Jesus to save them from burning to death. How could that not make you feel uncomfortable just by the fact they were being thrown into the incinerator in the first place alone?
I definitely think the man behind VeggieTales did more for Christianity in the end of the 20th century than anyone else as he made a show that Christians and non-Christians alike could agree on, which is seemingly impossible when it comes to Christian shows aimed towards children.
The creator of Veggie Tales is an odd duck. He has many good, open-minded positions, but he has just as many backwards ones, like when he complained of rising LGBT representation in children’s shows.
How do straight people always fail to realize that straight representation is the default so no one questions when children’s shows have boys and girls holding hands or kissing, even though it’s daily “shoving their straight sexuality down children’s throats.”
Anyway, I agree with this take, VeggieTales is probably the most positive, least offensive, and least egregious modern interpretations of Christianity you can find.
