Why do bad things happen to good cucumbers? The Ballad of Little Joe takes an Old Testament look at the question of suffering and injustice via this cowboy-inflected VeggieTales take on the story of Joseph, the youngest son of Jacob sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. Typically, the VeggieTales version of the familiar tale is sweetened and abridged to a fault--why do VeggieTales creators insist that young children confront complex Bible passages until they're actually ready for them?. But in Joseph's case the issue of forgiveness is certainly accessible to little ones, even if the larger idea of accepting one's destiny as "God's plan" gets muddled in Little Joe's salad-bar nonsense. Featuring familiar VeggieTales characters Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber, and a baffling song interlude by Boyz in the Sink called "Belly Button." --Tom Keogh

Description

You've heard the story of Joseph many times, but only VeggieTales? can tell it in the Wild Wild West. The Ballad of Little Joe begins at the Lazy Eye Ranch, the Veggie equivalent of the Ponderosa. Leading the colorful pack is Larry the Cucumber as Little Joe and eleven French peas as his jealous brothers. It's a journey that will take Joe from an abandoned mine shaft, to a pizza saloon in Dodgeball City, with his faith being tested every step of the way (as well as his uncanny organizational skills). This video will also feature an all new and ever popular Silly Song with Larry. "The Bellybutton Song" is a spoof of boy bands featuring the latest VeggieTales superstars - Boyz in the Sink!

The Ballad of Little Joe.......2007-05-10

Great Veggietales movie! Moe and the big exit is a great sequel.

addictive.......2007-01-19

It's a good thing that this show is so enjoyable since my two year old insists on watching it endlessly. Good story, catchy songs, a few clever jokes for the parents ("hey, Jude!"), and perhaps the best Silly Song so far in the Bellybutton Song. Definitely a top choice in the VeggieTales library.

Very Veggie-Worthy!!.......2006-01-31

Super cute, with a great message. We all love the 'Bellybutton Song!'

cute.......2005-06-03

I saw this video while I was staying at the home of some Christian friends. Like all veggie tales stories they give a Christian message to children in a fun and non-over bearing fashion. Like all of the other veggietales videos they feature computer animated vegetables as actors.

The ballad of little joe tells the story of Joseph the youngest son of Jacob/Israel. It set as a modern western. The story takes place in Dodgeball City where the patrons contantly have to look out for randomly flying dogeballs.

As I mentioned before the story follows the Genesis account of Joseph as modern western. I like the one line where Little Joe is kidnapped by a band of desperados and he says "deperados you better come to your senses!". This was a reference to the Eagles classic "Desperado."

The belly button song is a classic.

Awesome.......2004-12-03

This is definitely our favorite veggie tales - and we ALL sing the belly button song. Definitely worth the money and a good intro for new veggie fans (play the DVD with subtitles for new viewers so they can catch all the hilarious lines).
