VeggieTales - Dave and the Giant Pickle

Starring:VeggieTales
Studio: Sony Wonder (Video)
Product Type: DVD

Amazon.com essential video

Another winning video from the VeggieTales folk. To teach Larry the Cucumber about self-esteem, Bob the Tomato tells the story, slightly renamed, of David and Goliath. Jr. Asparagus plays the young man who wants to prove himself and will face the towering pickle. These adorable tales, brightly animated and containing bouncy songs, teach Christian-lite values in an entertaining way. Telling a single story (instead of the normal two), this 30-minute video goes on a bit too long, but it does contain the funniest entry in the "Silly Songs with Larry" series: Love My Lips. --Doug Thomas

Description

Have you ever felt too small to do a really big job? That's what a little shepherd boy named Dave feels when his big brothers head off to defend their country, leaving Dave behind with the sheep. "Big people do big things, and little people do little things,"they tell him. They're in for a surprise, however, when they find out their foe is much bigger than they thought! This telling of the classic biblical story of David and Goliath teaches kids that "with God, all things are possible." It makes no difference whether you're 9-feet tall or 2-feet tall -- with God's help, even little guys can do big things!

Little Guys Can Do Big Things, Too!.......2006-10-27

When Bob finds Larry pretending to be somebody with some real power, he decides it's time to share a story that will help Larry feel good about himself.

A long time ago, there was a boy named Dave (Jr. Asparagus). His job was helping his brothers look after the family sheep and keeping them from tipping over.

But when the Israelites go to war, Dave's brothers head off to fight. When the Philistines (the French Peas) suggest a fight of champions, they quickly agree. However, they are shocked to see Goliath, the giant pickle emerge. Dave volunteers to fight, but can he do it?

This is an early entry in the VeggieTales series, and tons of fun. The story is great with lots of gags for kids and adults. The moral, "With God, all things are possible," is very solid and worth hearing time and time again.

The main story takes up most of the disc. It is interrupted by a silly song, "Love my Lips." And, this disc is also notable for the introduction of Larry-Boy during the counter top scenes.

There's lots to love here, and fans both young and old will enjoy this unique take on a famous Bible story.

Easy to understand Bible stories for elementary age kids.......2006-08-31

I love the Veggie Tales series, and this title reinforced my opinion. The series simplifies Bible stories for kids ages 3-10, without losing the overall message. This easily answers questions about who Goliath was, and how in the world a little guy like David managed to slay him.

Great telling of David and Goliath. Perfect for toddlers ..........2005-10-20

My husband and I were exposed to Veggie Tales with our niece and nephew and we love the series; honestly we did watch them without any kids around. As a parent, I think "Dave and the Giant Pickle" is the best veggie tales I have seen yet for young toddlers like our 3 year old. He can relate to the story and lesson - a big guy vs a little guy, and how god will be there. My son loves this dvd, asks for it every night, and loves acting out the climax scene. This is such a cute version of David and Goliath. We highly recommend it!

With God's Help Little Guys Can Do BIG Things Too!.......2005-10-10

In this episode we are introduced to the first appearance by Larry the Cucumber's alter ego, LARRY BOY!

Larry is feeling kinda sad because he thinks plain ol' Larry isn't very special at all... so his buddy Bob the Tomato decides to tell Larry the story of David & Goliath - VeggieTales style.

Through the course of the story it is made evident that no matter how small you think you are in this world you are here for a specific purpose - and you are very special in God's eyes.

Your kids will love this movie and will feel good about themselves in knowing that they too can do BIG things with God's help. It has several catchy songs - that even I find myself singing in the car sometimes. *PLUS* My favorite silly song of all-time is on this video -> I LOVE MY LIPS! Larry visits a shrink to talk about his obsession over his lips and his fear of loosing them.
