## Summary

## Trivia

* The video series is really entertaining, creative, and funny, it also manages to do a good job with its various lessons, like God, and without getting too preachy.
* The animation in Softimage/PowerAnimator and Maya is really appealing to watch.
* It spawn a television show in the late 1990s, *The VeggieTales TV Show*, which is funnier and a lot more entertaining than the video series.
* All the characters are lovable, cute, funny, and memorable.
* It teaches plenty of Biblical lessons and great morals that are not jammed down your kids' throat at all.
* Amazing voice acting.
* The stories are really interesting and entertaining.
* **Cause you're his cheeseburger! His precious cheeseburger!**
* Catchy and heartwarming songs. Most notably, *God is Bigger*.
* There are also good dubs of the show.
* A lot of pop culture references such as *Batman*, *Madame Bovary*, *Saturday Night Fever*, *The Avengers*, etc.
* Catchy theme song.

## Goofs/Errors

* While the Softimage/PowerAnimator animation is pretty okay most of the time, some of the Softimage/PowerAnimator animation in the first four 90s era episodes often times has errors like objects clipping through something and other minor mistakes, with one major example being the inconsistent lighting in "Are You My Neighbor?".
* It had some weak episodes, "The Wonderful World of Auto-Tainment!", "Sweetpea Beauty", and "Meaningful Life". "The Wonderful World of Auto-Tainment!" suffered from low-quality jokes, recycled music and rushed Maya animation and graphics, and both "Sweetpea Beauty" and "Meaningful Life" were made by an animation studio which focused on the pre-rendered Maya animation and thus looked low-quality for 2010 standards.
* Some of the dubs on the other hand, especially the Persian dub, were pretty mediocre.
* While the voice acting is very good for most of the dubs, the Arabic dub was not well received.
* It's series finale wasn't too good as well since it was the beginning of the Netflix series design era, as well as other flaws.
* The episode "LarryBoy and The Fib From Outer Space", although exciting in any way, received a lot of letters from parents criticizing it for a few flaws, Larry being too serious, some dark and intense scenes, such as the Fib catching Junior, Larry stating he is going to die if he and his Larrymobile crashes into a water tower (as well as Alfred, who is Archibald Asparagus, telling him to stop yelling at him), and shouting "GOODBYE BUMBLYBURG!!!" when he was about to be eaten by the enlarged Fib.
* "King George and The Ducky" received tons of criticism for Larry's behavior when he played as King George, since many fans hated to see Larry be selfish and mean (it could be because viewers always thought Larry wasn't the person to do such thing) although it was part of the episode and the main characters are only playing as the story characters.
* Although the LarryBoy episodes were okay, not only the first one as mentioned above was intense and dark, but the aforementioned episode and the second one ("LarryBoy and the Rumor Weed") always showed that LarryBoy didn't save the day or defeat the villains, but other characters such as Junior and Laura did (for Junior, he defeated the Fib by telling the truth about breaking the Art Bigotti plate, as well as encouraging the others to say nice things about Alfred to defeat the Rumor Weed with Laura). Fortunately, the third LarryBoy episode (the Bad Apple one) finally depicts LarryBoy defeating the Bad Apple.
* The spin-off of VeggieTales in the House, Veggietales in the City was poorly received due to the fact that it had surprisingly lack of Christianity (the last line is intact), flanderization and basically messing with what made the original good, because we know that DreamWorks almost ruined it.
* The video series never got dubbed in French, although the first TV series "The VeggieTales TV Show" with the first two seasons, the second movie "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything", and the two Netflix spin-off series did it in real life.

## Criticisms

* It was first pitched to Nickelodeon in the early 1990s; however, Nickelodeon refused the show, because they didn't want to air CGI cartoons at that time.
* Contrary to popular belief, VeggieTales wasn't the first half-hour long CGI show, as that record was claimed by the Incredible Crash Dummies, which aired on Fox Kids a few months before the first episode was released to Christian bookstores in 1993. However, Crash Dummies was Canadian and wasn't entirely a series, making it the first half-hour long entirely CGI series produced in the United States, a year before ReBoot and Insektors.
