ABOUT:

VeggieTales: Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men  is a fun parody that features plenty of high-energy, family-friendly music, including a new Silly Song with a theme that was selected through a recent online fan contest. The episode also includes the animated short, “Lenny & the Lost Birthday,” which also helps teach lessons about handling hurt and forgiveness.

A long time ago, in the faraway town of Bethlingham, roved a band of merry men, led by the fearless Robin Good. Their mission: to help people by fundraising from the rich and giving to the poor!  But when a greedy Prince starts stealing the townspeople’s hams, donations are down and Robin’s friends take off and decide to give robbing from the rich a try. Feeling rejected, Robin thinks things can’t get any worse, until he finds out that the ham-hoarding Prince has also captured his friends. Can Robin overcome his own hurt, rescue his friends and restore the townspeople’s hope?  Find out in this fun Veggie story where kids learn that there’s no hurt too big for God!

MY THOUGHTS:

My boys have only seen one other Veggie Tales DVD but they love the silly characters.  I mean who wouldn’t love and laugh at a dancing/singing tomato, cucumber or squash!  Veggie Tales is a wholesome DVD that features all sorts of vegetable characters and does reference God.  Don’t think this DVD is full of religion as it really isn’t but it does have references when they are pointing out how to be good or what was wrong.

The DVD starts out with “Lenny & The Lost Birthday” which is an adorable short episode on Lenny who thinks everyone forgot his birthday.  He goes about his day sad and made, but then his mom points out that it is Leap Day and explains that.  It made it perfect to explain Leap Year!  Next up was a Bubble Rap video featuring Larry singing with his friends about bubble wrap!

My boys laughed and laughed and the show made it easy for them to understand what was going on.  The main part of the DVD is “Robin Good and His Not-So Merry Men” which showed how sharing and working together is good.  It is the tale of Robin Hood with a wholesome spin.

Overall, the DVD is full of fun songs and great lessons for young kids.  My boys have watched it a few times now and laugh every time!
