bilbopooh's Full Review: VeggieTales - Dave And The Giant Pickle
Every kid has felt at some point in time like he was under-appreciated and wasn't being given the chance to do all the big, important things he saw his parents doing. Dave and the Giant Pickle shows kids that they're not alone in feeling this way; in fact, the "little people" have had a tough time being taken seriously throughout all if history. More importantly, this video shows that children can make just as big a difference as adults.
Based on the Biblical story of David and Goliath, this video places Junior Asparagus in the role of Dave, the brave young shepherd boy. When all his older brothers go off to fight the Philistines, he is left alone with his father to care for the sheep. When given the opportunity to take food to his brothers, he gladly takes up the journey, only to discover to his dismay that his people are cowering in their tents before the huge Philistine which one of them is supposed to fight.
With grim determination, Dave convinces King Saul to allow him to fight the giant armed only with a slingshot and his faith in God. What transpires next shows once and for all that little guys can, indeed, do big things too.
With the fantastic animation typical of this series, Veggie Tales puts a new spin on an ancient story -- a true story -- and draws mesmerized children into the world of the Bible. The songs are great, and the Silly Song is absolutely hilarious. On older videos (distinguished by a different cover) look for a picture of Sonny Bono in Dr. Archibald's set of Inkblot cards. Other allusions in this story include Batman, Airplane, and Jurassic Park. (If you like Larry Boy, check out his two videos, Larry Boy and the Fib from Outer Space and Larry Boy and the Rumor Weed.) Once again, Veggie tales has taken good Christian values and made them fun and accessible for children living in this fast-paced world.
