I discovered Veggie Tales the way I’m sure I’ll be discovering all that’s cool in the years to come: through my children.
They’re absolutely hilarious movies. You should watch them. Like the Pixar movies, they’ve got a lot of adult humor in them, along with the kid stuff.
The latest movie of theirs that I’ve seen is The Lord of the Beans. Yes, it’s a takeoff on The Lord of the Rings, but only slightly.
The idea is that Todo inherits this magic bean from his uncle BillBoy Baggypants. The bean is kind of a wish-granting bean, and Todo is trying to figure out how he’s supposed to use it. (When Randolph puts it in the fire, words appear on the bean, “Use Wisely” – proving that it is the One Bean)
He goes on a journey with Randolph and others to figure out what he’s supposed to do with this gift.
Lately, I’ve been discovering that I have some gifts myself, and I’m trying to figure out how I’m supposed to use them. I have a couple ideas, and I want to try them out and see what fits.
You’re welcome to tag along and see how it goes.
