VeggieTales - Where's God When I'm S-scared? (1993)

Numero Uno VeggieTales

this first in the Veggie series was produced on an absolute shoe-string...copies were being made on an as-needed basis as orders came in, and the animation shows that. but! you can't go wrong with three great songs (God is bigger than the boogie-man, the water buffalo song, and oh no!) that stick in your head. you will find yourself singing them just as often as you catch your kids singing them.
the "monsters" jumping out of junior's drawers and the visit by frankencelery allow for a look at night-time fears in a way that children can understand and enjoy without becoming too frightened. telling kids their fears are taken care of by God because He's big and will protect them and the way that bob explains what those scary things really are should help youngsters to learn to overcome those bedtime nasties. singing the God is bigger song with them as part of a routine at night can help to reinforce this message.
i don't have any kids and my nephew got me hooked on veggietales when he showed me jonah (still my favourite movie, but i think my favourite "short" story is either king george and the ducky or little joe.) my nephew was 18 at the time, so don't write these off as simply cute children's videos. you may very well find them to be a great addition to your own video library (i own almost all of them.) these are stories with a God-centered message that is not terribly blatant, offer a Biblical truth, and entertain all at the same time.
as a maiden effort, this video gets 5-stars from me. i wish it would have been around when i was a child and afraid of the dark. i know i couldn't have produced anything this entertaining on my pc and with only two or three other people's assistance.
oh, btw larry--i'm still waiting for my water buffalo! August 18, 2008

To scary for 3 years old

I think for a Christian movie, it gives a good idea about the stories in the Bible. Although, some of your movies are becaming disturbing and it has caracters or scenes that should not be in a Christian kids movie.
Other than that most of your movies are the best think I could find for my kid. For what it is out there is just, incredable. June 3, 2008

Stories with Morals

are wonderful. I wish I had this video as a kid because it would have saved me from having to check under my bed to look for the boogie monster. The guys at Big Idea are my heroes because they address issues that are really important to kids. This is their first video ever and it still looks great. I would highly recommend it for anyone's children. May 8, 2008
