Product Description

The first of two "best of" VeggieTales programs packs together 75 minutes of the Christian-lite group into one volume. The three stories here include "Daniel and the Lion's Den" from the first VeggieTales video, Where Is God When I'm Scared?, and complete programs of Dave and the Giant Pickle and Esther, the Girl Who Became Queen. All three tales illustrate the VeggieTales' creed at its best: entertaining stories from the Bible with a good deal of wackiness that make the lessons go down easy--for both kids and grownups. "Daniel" showcases the remarkable variety of original music the series produces, while Dave may be the quintessential VeggieTales episode. Each segment begins with energetic youngsters discussing the themes. --Doug Thomas

 Very entertaining (and educational, shhh...) April 29, 2003

A couple of months ago I checked out the first volume of Veggietales from the local library. I found the first story to be pleasant, but when the scallions in "Daniel and the Lion's Den" started dancing and singing "Oh No!", I knew we had found a winner. My four-year-old son, my teenage daughter, and I have become big Veggietales fans, and this DVD was one of several I purchased when I decided that we had to stop borrowing the videos from the library because we just wanted to keep them for ourselves!
My son's favorite Veggietales story is still "Daniel and the Lion's Den" (it's one of my favorites, too, along with "Josh and the Big Wall"). I like the other two tales, too, but also have one question: What kind of vegetable is Esther exactly? She's the same veggie as the thankful family in the Madame Blueberry story, but I have no idea what she is (she looks like a green spoon to me, but I may be just unaware of all existing vegetables).
yes, it is a good DVD for anyone to watch.

This DVD collects some of the best of the Veggie Tales stories. If your kids have never seen any of them, this is the one to start with. The songs are first rate, the humor delighful, the characters likable, and the morals are outstanding. What a breath of fresh air.Thank you, Big Idea!!!

An addendum: this DVD contains my favorite "Silly Songs with Larry" song: the Song of the Cebu'. The whole thing is just hilarious and the tune is very catchy. Just try to sit still when you're watching it on tv or listening to the CD! :)

This is the first "actual" VeggieTales film I've watched. I watch their Silly Soung Coundown, and both my four-month-old and I enjoy the silly characters, silly music, and all-around silliness. Once I knew that he wouldn't be afraid of the giant pickle or the pirates who don't do anything, I decided to try Heroes of the Bible. This DVD has three short stories, Daniel and the Lions Den, Dave and the Giant Pickle (Goliath), and Esther, the Girl Who Became Queen.This DVD (or perhaps all VeggieTales movies, since I'm not the VT expert, yet) reminded me a lot of the Simpsons -- of course in a very different way than what may come to mind when one mentiones the Simpsons. I'm not talking about the constant strangling your child by his neck type of "silliness". Rather, the Simpsons use such a type of humor that it attracts viewers of all ages and the humor is not lost is a viewer doesn't see or doesn't understand the other levels of humor. I'll explain . . . My four-month-old enjoyed Daniel and the Lions Den -- the colors, movements, and songs. He laughed at the king's wisemen (slippery scallions) in their plotting to kill Daniel. Obviously, my son doesn't understand the plotting, but he sees the funny scallions and song exchanges between the wisemen, the king, and Daniel. An older child would understand that the wiseman are trying to kill Daniel and that, instead of killing Daniel, the lions actually became his friends. And my husband and I like the part when Daniel is leaving the lions den and yells down to the lions, "thanks for the pizza!"

My son loves these guys. they have great songs colorful characters and great lessons. They are series and everyone of them are great. this one is no different. It covers a couple of stories in the bible in a fresh new way that is entertaining for the young ones and they will learn something positive while falling in love with positive characters at the same time which is very great for us!! :-)Win win situation
