Customer Reviews:

excellent.......2006-11-10

Hello,
I first saw this at my neices & nephews house.
Then I bought a DVD of it. It is excellent for kids to watch.
Kids can learn a lot of good things from veggie tales like faith & morals/values.
It is very fun to watch & kids love Veggie tales!
I haven't met a kid yet that doesn't like them.
It talks about God, & that is a rarity in shows today.
God bless whoever made these cartoons!
Have a great day!
Steve.

Disappointing...Compared to earlier Veggies.......2006-03-26

I am a huge Veggie Tales fan! I was a fan before I had my own children. I would highly, highly recommend the original Veggie Tales episodes (before 2003)! Unfortunately, with the fall of Big Idea Productions, Veggie Tales just isn't what they used to be.

I was terribly disappointed viewing "The Duke and the Great Pie War" - the quality and message just wasn't the same. So much so, that my husband & I searched the web to find out what happened to Veggie Tales! (If you have the time you can read the details on www.philvischer.com)

Don't get me wrong - compared to what else is being produced out in the world - it is great, yeah! a wholesome message for kids! It is still entertaining. It was just obvious to me that the true heart & soul behind the original Veggie Tales series is missing - Phil Vischer is only involved in the writing of one episode a year these days. I look forward to finding out which episodes these will be!

Sweet Veggies:).......2006-02-16

This was a sweet, little VT to watch with my kids. I thought the 'Babysitter' tale was cute and taught a valuable lesson. Sweet Petunia was adorable, if not a bit goofy at times. We totally think that Larry just stole the show on this VT!! The 'serf' music was so catchy too! I am glad that this was more Veggie Tale-esque than another recent release. My kids love this one so far, and so it is on constant replay.

Innovative and fresh!.......2005-09-04

This VeggieTales movie is, in my opinion, one of the best yet. It is fresh and innovative in its concept, once again using a Bible story as the basis of the plot. Characters are fun and engaging. Clean, great for families.

Good, but not Big Idea's best........2005-07-07

Veggie Tales are always good, as is Duke, but it is not the best they have done. With a quick story from the point of Miriam, Moses' sister, Duke is loosely based on the story of Ruth. It was cute and the songs were good, but other Veggie Tale movies were better. Its message is unique and teaches older kids how to love and care for their younger siblings, an important lesson for children who are no longer the favorite.

This is the second film in The Sugar Creek Gang series.

Does the Great Canoe Fish actually exist? Or is he a two hundred year old canoe-size legend? The Sugar Creek Gang packs their fishing gear and sleeping bags for a canoe trip to find out. But they're not alone. Dragonfly spills the beans to the local town bullies who follow the gang in hopes of beating them to the catch. A gift from Old Man Paddler gives the gang an advantage, but the bullies keep their presence a secret long enough to nearly shatter the gang's hopes. Join the gang on their journey to the pregnant pig rock, help them catch waterfall worms, and find out if the Great Canoe Fish exists!
