To be honest I really like VeggieTales In The House sure is not as good as the original VeggieTales but it was miles better than Sonic Boom because it has Lessons while could've been a bit better it does help me to get a job, the songs really slaps, I didn't mind the redesigns, I like the cartonny feel of the animation, biblical verses, they got the guts to have characters their flaws, the voices are pretty good, the new characters are really interesting especially Ichabeezer while replacing Mr. Nezzer is questionable at best he has a good character development and he has a good heart. I just miss the show very much I really Netflix series characters returning but I'm afraid that's not going to happen because of TBN revival series while a mixed bag but it doesn't feels like the continuation of the original series feels like a 20 year old reunion reboot which already seen many times.
At first when I heard about Veggietales getting a new look, I was worried at first. But when I saw it for the first time, I instantly liked it. This is a great step for the Veggietales franchise and I love the creators' idea of streaming it on Netflix. Now kids and people like me that loved watching Veggietales growing will getting to take it anywhere and anytime. I love it when they made this cartoon more of a slapstick and not that dull. I even like it how the veggies are looking more alive and fresh (especially with the "creepy" eye colors). Season one was alright but it need more zing to the show and more clever writings. Well anyway, the show was great and I hope they continue making this because I believe that this a great way to keep Veggietales alive and hopefully we see Bob and Larry as the next cartoon icons.
I hate VeggieTales in the House because it makes all of the characters look and sound too different. The casting department was too cheap to cast more than one replacement male and female actor for all the original characters not voiced by Mike or Phil! You can hear that problem in almost all of Tress MacNeille's female character voices, for example. Junior Asparagus, a young boy character, sounds too boyish, and not girly enough like the way Lisa's Junior originally sounded, Laura sounds uncomfortably high-pitched, and Madame Blueberry's new voice doesn't even try to have a French accent. The only female veggie whom Tress MacNeille can have sound close to her original voice is Petunia Rhubarb. Even with Phil and Mike voicing their own characters again, you can tell VeggieTales in the House has terrible voice direction, particularly in Archibald's voice. I liked having Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki reprise most of their characters in this series because that at least gave VeggieTales in the House some of the same identity that the original VeggieTales had, but it is very sad that, while they still get a credit for VeggieTales in the House being based on characters created by them, they don't write any VeggieTales in the House episodes of their own. However, Tim Hodge and Brian K. Roberts still got to direct some episodes, so they might be decent and resemble the spirit of the original film series more.
Like many VeggieTales fans who dislike in the House & City, and possibly Noah's Ark, we believe VeggieTales in the House/City takes place in an alternate universe from the veggies who acted out or experienced all of the stories in the original video series. From Where's God When I'm S-Scared up to Beauty and the Beet, as well as The VeggieTales Show, because all of the veggies have different designs and live in a little city below the countertop, which was only used to host Noah's Ark in this new world. Even if you can get past the bizarre new cheap animation style and different character voices, the writing is just not there. VeggieTales in the House & City has the bizarre energy of Fanboy & Chum Chum, which does not bode well with the original VeggieTales, and most of the time, Larry is an idiot and the stories are very uncreative and it is easy to guess what the lesson will be by the third minute of eleven. Furthermore, I feel very bad for Phil Vischer with VeggieTales in the House being more "de-Goded" than the qubo TV broadcasts of stories from VeggieTales videos in 23-minute episodes. Occasionally, a Bible verse will be read, but in an off-the-walls show like this that purged the religious aspects of VeggieTales, it doesn't feel the same to end every episode with the same "God made you special and He loves you very much" closing line from the original show.
Still, there are some things that I do enjoy and miss about VeggieTales in the House. It is much more watchable than the Japanese and Chinese spin-offs of Lilo & Stitch, The 2016 Powerpuff Girls, and My Little Pony: Pony Life, which are all bad spinoffs or reboots that butcher their Intellectual Property's predecessor very hard. I realized that there are some salvageable aspects of VeggieTales in the House since Callie Flower was good enough to come into the prime VeggieTales universe in The VeggieTales Show. Motato, Gary Garlic, Mr. & Tiny Pea, Shem, Granny Asparagus, Officer Wedge, and Ichabeezer are all other entertaining characters I may like to see redesigned one day in The VeggieTales Show. I still have a bit of respect for VeggieTales in the House for trying some new things. Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki definitely did not like Dreamworks and Netflix butchering their property with less intelligent writing, but maybe they enjoyed the new experience it gave them because, they had never voice acted in a half-hour Nickelodeon-type series. Phil Vischer pitched VeggieTales to Nickelodeon in 1991, but Nick was not interested in early computer animation one decade before Jimmy Neutron. I liked hearing their classic character voices in a slice-of-life setting, but in the House certainly could have used some better writing that felt more like VeggieTales even in their weird wacky city. VTitH is also worth watching because Phil and Mike also both voice a new recurring character, Phil Vischer is Granny Asparagus and Mike Nawrocki is Officer Wedge. I also liked having Rob Paulsen, who voiced Finnegan J. Beet from Beauty and the Beet, use the same voice for Ichabeezer in VeggieTales in the House because the same grouchy voice suited both characters. I was also surprised at how much I liked some of this show's new characters, like Motato, Tiny Pea and Callie Flower.

The show looks like an anime rip-off. Here are some things: 1. Bob and Larry has eyebrows and tongue. 2. Larry looks like a pickle. 3. Petunia sounded like a teenager. 4. Madame Blueberry sounded too British, not French. 5. Junior Asparagus sounded like Jimmy Neutron. 6. Laura the Carrot sounded like female version of Timmy Turner. 7. Archibald looks too skinny and his British accent sounded like he had a frog in his throat. 8. Jean Claude and Philipe looked like circus freaks. 9. Ichabod "Ichabeezer" Money Nezzer sounded like Carl Wheezer, who went for a drink at a bar. 10. Jimmy has cravings or some sort. His brother, Jerry, is too stupid like Sheen from Jimmy Neutron. AND THEIR TEETH LOOKED LIKE VAMPIRE TEETH!!!!!
And that's why, Big Idea should replace Dreamworks with Paramount Pictures/Animation. They love racist stuff.

My two older children grew up with the older version of VeggieTales. They are not big fans of the new opening, but I'm sure it will grow on them. Although they were hesitant to watch it after the opening, they have given the new show a chance and seem to like it. My 7 year old loves it! As one of the previous reviewers points out--it is not the original VeggieTales. However, it is not bad just because it is not the same. There is nothing wrong with bringing a family friendly series to a new generation. Great job, Big Idea!!
It is refreshing to see Netflix has picked up a series with a positive message for kids (and adults).
