And now, we are on the weekly installment plan for VeggieTales band-aids.Clearly, we have officially passed from simple VeggieTales appreciation into full-blown VeggieTales addiction.I fear that we may never go back at least until the kids are teenagers.
After the opening ditty, Its Time for VeggieTales, Bob the Tomato (not computer, for the uninitiated) and Larry the Cucumber open the show with a viewer question. In the musical, Don Quixote is an over-the-top nobleman who embarrasses his family by dueling windmills and going on other absurdist adventures. Together with Pancho, Don has survived the comings and goings of competition. But when the Food Factory sets up shop in front of Dons caf, he knows hes doomed. After all, who can compete with those prices and serving portions. Fortunately, Pancho sticks with him even after being offered a job by the Food Factory. Then Dons dreams, which have become even more bizarre, prompt him to attack the Food Factory, which looks like a windmill in his mind. Eventually, Pancho discovers the source of the insanity a spicy salsa. Without the negative influence, Don is able to think clearly. And soon, they have a viable solution for keeping the caf in business. Larry plays Sheerluck Holmes, Scottish investigator extraordinaire or so says his reputation, anyway but without a Scottish accent. Bob is Dr. Watson, the sidekick whos growing increasingly frustrated with Sheerlucks egomaniacal tendencies. ![]() But once again, Sheerluck steps on Watsons toes errr rather, his lower vegetable peel (since veggies have no feet). Without him, however, the hapless Sheerluck cant solve the crime, and has no clue about the missing golden ruler, the most prized and valuable treasure in the palace. Then someone steals Sheerlucks credit, and he gets a dose of his own medicine. Soon, all is truly well that ends well as the Veggies learn the importance of friendship. Its so simple, in fact, that it comes across as slightly disjointed. The plots are basic, and the resolutions are so swift that the writers may have stretched their teaching a bit too thin. Still, as always, this episode is quality animation with a family-appropriate message inspired by Scripture. Article Images Copyright Getty Images unless otherwise indicated.
