Samson: A VeggieTales Movie (A Lesson in: Facing Hardships)

## Plot Summary

### The Modern Times

The film opens with Counselor Nezzer driving Bob, Larry and the entire gang around on the camp bus at Camp Rainbow Top and Laura's super excited about her super big dance off recital at the talent show in the monacacy hall, but when they get there, and they're preparing for the talent show, Laura becomes a bit nervous and is terrified of screwing up, so a storyteller named Gladys Green Onion (guest voiced by Jessica DiCicco) tells them the story about Samson, a young man who lost his powerful strength right after a haircut.

## The Bible Times

Samson (played by Norman the Peach) shows all of the Israelites his powerful strength and hair and doing good heroic deeds for them. Then 1 entire night, Delilah (played by Miss Achmetha) tells him that he must have a haircut by the Philistines (played by Jean Claude, Philippe and Scallion Number 5), which makes him lose all of his powerful strength and he must work super hard and do good deeds for all of his people (veggie pals). A blue and white skunk named Sherman appears and becomes good friends with Samson, but Samson's a bit nervous and terrified of knowing everybody would think he's a pure failure, but with God's words, Samson doesn't give up, acts super brave and keeps working harder for everybody in the town of Israel.

## Back in the Modern Times

Right after hearing the story about Samson, Laura becomes more braver and goes out onstage to do her super big dance off recital and everybody watches in amazement. The film ends with Bob saying to them, "Well, you guys, it looks like we earned ourselves a nice relaxing rest in the cottage dorms."
