I prefer a couple of better Christian cartoons which actually teach the Bible/Gospel and salvation:
“Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible” and “The Adventures of Donkey Ollie” as well as “Monster Sunday School”, “The Gospel Bill Show” and a few others..
The person who wrote this needs to use their time more wisely. You get the most worthless post of the week award.
Dave and the Giant Pickle is still one of my favorite videos.......
I loved Veggie Tales when my kids were little, but noticed the change after awhile, when Silly Songs with Larry wasn’t as funny anymore.
Still, we have them around the house, and remember the jokes.
I think this guy is being too hard on himself. Moral lessons in cartoon form are pretty good in and of themselves. If you want something more comprehensive, go out and try to do it. This guy has made a really satisfying bowl of popcorn. He shouldn’t regret that he didn’t make a four course meal.
I started writing Christian children’s stories about the time Veggietales exploded onto the scene. I was happy for their success, but always considered them Family Entertainment and not necessarily Christian. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that considering the aternatives out there for kids.
Its hard for me to call things Christian without Christ, or the Word, as the focus of the story and songs. But they were definitely being marketed that way.
We can always use some more quality family and/or value-oriented entertainment in the world.
