 Loved by my 2 year old! December 15, 2008
My two-year-old loves this movie as much as (possibly more than) any of our other Veggie Tales DVDs. The music in it is a little more contemporary and less childish than most VT flicks, and most of it has a beat that my daughter can dance to (which is very important to her since she loves music and dancing)! Whereas many of the other VT videos keep her attention for about half of the show, it isn't rare for her to be captivated from start to finish with this one, which is significant since she is usually a wild, spirited, energetic child. I'm not sure if it's the different music or the bright colors or even the apple (since it's her favorite fruit), but she is totally in it!
All the temptation areas presented in the show - video games, appearances, and chocolate (and even gambling when they flash back to Bumblyburg in olden days) - are all common struggles for kids and adults alike. My daughter isn't old enough to have conversations about this, but it has sparked some good talks with children I've worked with in Sunday school at my church. I look forward to being able to have these discussions with her eventually!
Finally, I know some reviewers of Larry Boy movies have argued that they aren't as good as other VT movies since they're not based on Bible stories, but I prefer Larry Boy and other original stories for a couple reasons: 1) the stories are always rooted in Biblical principles, so it still teaches them God's word and 2) I often find myself un-teaching the VT-version of a Bible story in Sunday school when a child tries to argue that it was different in Veggie Tales so my version (from the Bible) must be wrong.
Larryboy is a hit October 24, 2008
My son loves this video. He makes us laugh when he quotes lines from it.
 Veggie Tales DVD August 1, 2008
Grandson loves Larryboy and any DVD about him. Watched many times over until he could quote verbatim some of the lines.
Great Super Hero June 2, 2008
I can't say enough about LarryBoy and the Bad Apple! My 3 and 6 year old sons desire a super hero to admire, and I am so happy that we've found LarryBoy as an alternative to Spiderman, Ninja Turtles, or other worldy characters. In "The Bad Apple," LarryBoy and his friends fight temptation, an idea that my boys can apply to their own lives. The movie deals with issues of playing video games too long, eating too much chocolate, and being consumed with vanity. Kudos to Veggie Tales for such a quality, Godly production: it's the best they've made!
 Not the Biblical-Based VeggieTales I remember January 7, 2008
Don't get me wrong, this was a nice story, with good morals, but it's (obviously) based on a very fictional world. What happened to the old VeggieTales shows where they based their story off of a real Biblical story?
This series is quickly becoming just a 'good' show to watch, and not one where your children are going to learn about stories from the Bible.
