    Good for kids.

    I remember watching this as a kid, it didn't rot my brains. Still nostalgic to this day.

    Veggies with morals...who thought this great idea up?

    Computer animated veggies...who would think of something kids hate to eat and apply morals to them, to make the best Christian videos ever? BigIdea 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.

    5/5 STARS

    Fried Chicken Joke and Slavery

    You will see in the movie the Isrealites instead of saying that they do not want to be slaves to Philistines this:

    Jimmy Gourd (Isrealite): Um - do you guys have any fried chicken? I've got a real hankering for fried chicken.

    I am horrified to see this in a children's movie. Especially one that is supposed to be teaching Bible lessons. It is wrong. Slaves did not ask for fried chicken.

    I have banned VeggieTales from my house. I do NOT tolerate racial remarks.

    Context is important. Being threatened slavery, and then asking if the people have fried chicken? This was not an unintentional remark.

    A Really Good "Bible Heroes" episode

    It's the start of LarryBoy, is an adaptation of an actual Bible story, and has a good Silly Song. Let it pass!

    Another triumph for Big Idea Productions

    The creators of VeggieTales have consistently put out some of the best Christian children's entertainment I have seen in a long time. "Dave and the Giant Pickle" is no exception.

    The Biblical story of David and Goliath is told using great computer animation and a cast of (what else) vegetables. Junior Asparagus plays Dave, the youngest of Jesse's sons. While his brothers often pick on him because of his size, Dave realizes that "little guys can do big things, too" as he ventures forward to face Goliath, a giant, Philistine pickle with boxing gloves.

    Most of all, this movie is a perfect lesson in self-esteem. Children and parents who watch this movie are reminded that "God made them special and He loves them very much."

    I would recommend this video, and the rest of the VeggieTales collection, for every family's collection.

    • Trivia
      Mike Nawrocki wrote a song for this video called "I Love My Tongue" in which Larry would sing about loving to yodel. But he thought it sounded weird and changed it to "Love My Lips". He also didn't want people to think the song was about speaking in tongues. However, the idea of yodeling was later used in VeggieTales: The End of Silliness? More Really Silly Songs! (1998) in "The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps".
    • Goofs
      When Dave tells Goliath he will fight him, Jerry is standing between Tom and Jimmy. In the close-up, Jimmy and Jerry have switched places.
    • Quotes

      Pa Grape: It's very nice that you wanna help. But saving the country is a big thing. You're a little guy! Big people do big things and little people do little things. So - stay with the sheep.

    • Crazy credits
      The film's title does not appear until the end.
    • Alternate versions
      During the Silly Song, as Archibald presents Larry with the Rorschach test, one of the images is of a human being. In the original 1996 VHS release, it's a headshot of Sonny Bono. Following Bono's death in 1998, it was changed to a caricature of Big Idea animator, Robert Ellis. The DVD version uses neither Bono or Ellis and instead uses a caricature of Mike Nawrocki.
