VeggieTales: Josh and the Big Wall Trailers

A lesson in obedience, it's the Bible story of Joshua and the Walls of Jericho as told by our beloved Veggies. After 40 years of wandering in the desert, the children of Israel finally get to go to the Promised Land! Only one little thing they've overlooked ... the city of Jericho and its massive wall! Josh will have to decide whether it's better to do things his way or God's way!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

"VeggieTales: Josh and the Big Wall!" is n animated short film from 1997, so this one has its 20th anniversary this year and it was made by Chris Olsen and Phil Vischer, who (especially the latter) worked on many other VeggieTales as well. This one runs for 35 minutes, so don't fall for 30/31-minute versions that end abruptly without the film being over. The subject here is a really known and important one, so I expected a solid VeggieTale with decent significance, but sadly I was disappointed. The contents frequently seemed way too much aimed at small children compared to other VeggieTales and as a consequence the story-telling, significance and also voice acting failed. It is by no means a failure and still a somewhat decent watch at times, but the weaknesses here are just too frequent for me to recommend this. i also felt the music was not on par with other VeggieTales films. Certainly a missed opportunity, I give it a thumbs-down and it's worth checking out only for the very biggest fans of the series. The charm and magic that frequently comes with the VeggieTales characters is missing completely here.

Computer animated veggies...who would think of something kids hate to eat and apply morals to them, to make the best Christian videos ever? Big Idea productions. I think we all need to salute these guys. They take the same technique as the Simpsons (few people do all the voices, great humor, etc.) and apply, as I said before, morals. Great for kids, and even fun for us adults. Ignore the woman who said they get tiring after watching a long time...I own them all, and watch them constantly, and to tell the truth, I can't get enough limbless vegetables with morals...John "Larry the Cucumber" Ulmer5/5 STARS

I love the Veggie Tales videos, as do my two toddlers. However, this one video has a major stumbling block for me. I can allow for the fact that the characters are vegetables and that they soften the violence of the original Bible story for young ears. I do not, however, like the fact that the whole story is based on the Israelites not 'following God's directions' when, in this instance, they *did.* They followed his directions to the letter. There are so many other instances in Scripture where the Israelites disobeyed. There was plenty of material out there on which to base a story with this lesson. To imply disobedience here when they obeyed seems slanderous.Beyond that, the video is great. Some of the people at Big Idea Productions are obvious Monty Python fans. I just gotta love that! However, I've decided to avoid purchasing the VT videos based specifically on Bible stories (as opposed to morality tales) as history is not something I like to see messed with.

The story of Joshua leading the Israelites to take Jericho. A real fun way to tell this story with plenty of laughs. I have shown this to tots (2-3yr olds) through 40yr olds and all have loved it! The animation is excellent and the songs pretty catchy. The kind of short you'll want to watch again and again.
