Amazon.com essential video
Well, it had to happen--Archibald Asparagus is hosting his own VeggieTales show. The 15th video from this groundbreaking Christian-lite company gives us plenty of what makes the series so much fun: leader Bob the Tomato, daffy Larry the Cucumber, catchy songs, and scattershot humor. Tired of the wacky ways of the normal VeggieTales shows, Archibald wants to inject an element of class. First up: an all-vegetable staging of Hamlet. Unfortunately, the only script that can be found is a slightly different version called "Omelet." The Bard's famous lines take a beating with the usual Monty Python-esque humor of the Veggie crew. Next, after an Archibald-influenced "Silly Songs with Larry" segment, the featured event of the evening proves to be the lost Gilbert & Sullivan musical Lyle the Kindly Viking. This brawny band of Vikings love their job (and have an affinity for big-screen TVs) but cannot understand why the meek Lyle (Junior Asparagus, natch) wants to share his meager belongings with their victims. Certainly, the sharing ways of Lyle will win the day. After such experiments as the Larry-Boy shows, which dropped the series' familiar opening and even Bob himself, this familiarly structured VeggieTales video is a joy to watch and illustrates how far the creators have come while sticking to their roots. For ages 4 and up. --Doug Thomas

 Wonderful movie for all ages April 28, 2008
My grandsons own many Veggie Tale movies. I have never seen a bad one. I have watched them over and over and over again and enjoy them each time. Sometimes I just watch my grandsons faces and see how enthralled they are in the movie. Lyle The Kindly Viking is wonderful.
A Song of Sharing April 9, 2008
Lyle the Viking is a timeless story that all 3 years olds and under need to hear. The vikings think that everything belongs to them. Sharing is a ridiculous notion that only fools follow. Lyle understands that in order to recieve a real gift, you have to give. And eventually you will get something back in return when you most need it.
The best thing of this video is that it teaches a timeless tale without getting overly religious. Some people are turned off when religion is brought into the equation but no one need fear this story. The message is a truth we all need to hear. Especially children in the "mine" stage. Plus it's filled with singing. My son loves singing (and so do I). Definitely a must own for any parent.
Another Great Veggietales! October 19, 2007
Veggietales are entertaining for the whole family. We own nearly every one of them. Highly recommended.

We love 'Lyle'. It is such a tenderhearted tale, and I never get tired of seeing this with my children. I love the lessons it teaches. This is one of our favorite all-time Veggie Tales.
