We love Veggie Tales and my girls love Larry-Boy! We were all excited to learn of Larry-Boy's latest foe, the Bad Apple.

We saw this at a special preview event, and really enjoyed it. The Bad Apple is temptation and she tries to ensnare Bumblyburg with a web of overindulgence. Her weapons are tv, video games, vanity and greed, and CHOCOLATE. Even our Super Hero Cucumber succumbs to her temptations.

Messages were not as clear that excess of these things (excepting chocolate ~ Larry-Boy got a stomach ache) was what was bad, so was a bit difficult for my girls (nearly 3 and 5 years) to understand, but even so, we plan to purchase it and grow into the message.

Good show with some fun for everyone.
