Great dvd January 13, 2007
The story in this DVD is the battle of Jericho. Their rendition is not iron-clad stuck to scripture, but the artistic interpretations they take with it are not important elements to the meaning behind the story (i.e. the army of Jericho flings slushies down on the Israelites as the walk around the wall). They even explain some of this towards the end of the show. My 2 year old enjoys this DVD, as she does all of the VeggieTales DVDs we own. Excellent work!
 Very entertaining but leaves me confused July 25, 2006

I have to admit that this video is very entertaining and well done... but there is one thing that bothers me. Is it OK to make such a serious and bloody event into something this light-hearted? I mean after the walls fall, there is nobody in the town and the Isrealites just walk through it. In real life there was a violent and bloody raid! Everybody behind the wall was slaughtered! This came about because of following God's intructions?! Were the people (including children) living there not part of the creation that God supposedly loves? Obviously it would be innappropriate to show the truth to children, but then why bother showing a watered-down version that supposedly teaches morals? Somehow something seems very wrong with this. But perhaps that is what's wrong with war-mongering western christians these days.
Delightful family fun July 5, 2006

My kids are aged four and under and they got a tremendous kick out of the Josh and the Big Wall. While they didn't grasp all of the concepts, which are clearly meant for older kids, they absolutely loved the animation, the sight-gags, and especially the silly songs. I still have that "Going the Promised Land" song stuck in my head four days later. My wife and I appreciated the religious context of the show as well, which sparked a discussion about obedience with our 4 and 3 year olds when the DVD was over.
And thank goodness, this isn't one of those idiotic productions that assumes that kids are little dimwits who need to have quick-cuts to hold their attention. The silly songs are not the typical sappy nonsensical fare that dominates much of children's television these days. They are all very clever--in the best tradition of classic Muppets songs--and any adult with a sense of humor will be able to appreciate them without feeling IQ points melt away.
Over all, A+ family entertainment. We'll be buying many more Veggie Tales DVDs as our kids get older.
Kids love it! March 18, 2006

My daughter loves this DVD, but she'll like any of the Veggie Tales series.
This particular one is the Veggie Tales crew's rendition of the story of Joshua and the Israelites taking the city of Jericho. It's hilarious even for adults, yet teaches children important messages. It's absolutely a good buy!
My kids' favorite VeggieTales movie. At the very least own THIS one! October 27, 2005

We have several VeggieTales movies. I love knowing I can leave the room and let my kids watch the movie without wondering what content might be reaching their precious minds (unlike TV cartoons). The theme is based on the story of Joshua and Battle of Jericho in the Old Testament. The songs are meaningful and great to sing with your kids "Keep walking...but you won't knock down our wall..keeping walking...but she isn't gonna fall...it's plain to see..your brains are very small...to think walking.. will be knocking down our wall!" Those french peas!! My girls have watched the movie so much, I am probably buying a new DVD to replace the VHS we own! God Bless!
