VeggieTales: God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!

While this episode may have low quality, this show will stay good for its tales of grumpy grapes, forgive-o-matics, and a cucumber Gillian on the island. I like this episode as it teaches a very important lesson, and tells it through a pretty hilarious Gillian's Island parody. I recommend this episode to families that need to teach their children to forgive each other.

I guess I must be a simple person because I love this video! It makes my whole family laugh out loud, and my husband and I LOVE the spoofs. I'm pretty sure they got permission do the spoofs. Saturday Night Live, Mad Magazine/TV, and Weird Al do it all the time and rarely (if at all) get sued over copyright infringement. Anyway, I love the song that Palmy sings about forgiveness. It gets stuck in your head all day, but what better moral to get stuck in your head??? As a Christian parent, I am glad to have this alternative. It's nice to give the kids a break from the "rude" cartoons that they show on TV these days. Also, this one is the second story that Mike Nawrocki and Phil Vischer did in the Veggie Tales Series, which makes for a great collector's item. If you get the DVD, it contains lots of cool special features and quite a few easter eggs (hidden special features within the different menus). My kids want to watch this one over and over, and I never get tired of it!!

While this was the second veggietales made. It had to many creepy closeups and had no silly song with larry but the moral is nice and the voice for Larry is a lot better

One of the "jokes" in this film is just a guy saying "bamboo bamboo bamboo," over and over. If you find that unfunny, then I consider skipping this. But apart from that it's great!

It has a funny scenario with the characters the Grapes of Wrath (monotone "ha") who with Junior learn to be nice and not bully others. Chichéd moral, but a good one, with some good 90's era "blursed" cgi.

It also has a Gilligans Island parody with a Jamacian coconut tree. That is all I will say.

I got this one recently (2002) because it was one of the few Veggie Tale videos we hadn't seen and it is nowhere as good as the current ones on the market. The stories are not as funny. I think the other comments are a little harsh. Sure they spoof Gilligans Island and the Grapes of Wrath, but I don't see that as a negative. I just think they could have done a better job doing it.
