Are you a fan of Veggie Tales? My kids just love them, and have watched most of our Veggie Tales videos at least ten times each and some we have seen more. So when I got the chance to review a screener for the NEW Veggie Tales Noah's Ark from Family Christian I jumped at the chance.
The newest Veggie Tales adventure has a few changes that you will notice in regards to the animation and general over all feel of the content itself. It is similar to the new series that can also be found on Netflix. In this video Larry and Bob give us the story of Shem, one of Noah's sons, and how he struggled with letting God direct the steps of his life rather than making the choices himself. The theme is one that I think most adults can relate to well. I know I personally would rather choose to make my own decisions about the direction of my life than to wait on God's direction and leading. I really like the direction they took in presenting the story of Noah. |
I did find a few elements in the video not to my liking. One of the female characters is presented as a bit harsh or rather coarse. That could be taken as merely a joke, but it has a feel to its presentation that isn't the most honoring to women. In another section of the video Shem's wife gives him a direct command and he obeys like a boy obeying his mommy who has just been scolded. I do not appreciate this type of behavior being taught to our children as acceptable behavior. I feel that the husband is the head of the home, and should be treated as such. Those few elements were the only things that brought down my opinion of this particular Veggie Tales adventure.
I do like the new styles of animation, as well as the important lessons of learning to trust God even when things are scary and dark. Overall I believe this is a good video and will be a commonly watched show in our home.
