Will he decide to listen to the wisdom of a loving father in time to save his whole family from becoming fish food?

MY THOUGHTS

I really liked this DVD, as I do with most of the VeggieTales movies.  It was neat to see how it paralleled the story of “Pinocchio” with it’s own twists to make it unique.  My boys enjoyed watching “Pistachio” as well.  I look forward to the next movie VeggieTales comes up with!  Thank you Big Idea!

    My favorite character would have to be Larry! I love the Veggie Tale Movie about Madame Blueberry, all the kids and some of the teens at church loves this movie. They love Veggie tales they always ask me when we are going to watch Veggie Tales.

    We love Veggie Tales! I like Larry, and my favorite part of Veggie tales are the songs. “Barbara Manatee” always gets stuck in head!

    Well, I’m not clever enough to think of a movie title, but I do like Larry. My favorite Veggie Tale song is “Where is my hairbrush”

    I love Larry the Cucumber. I also must say that A Snoodle’s Tale is probably my favorite Veggies Tale movie ever made. 🙂
