I would love your opinion of SuperBook. Robots in Bible times. Instead of complaining what was wrong about the videos, why not take that time to discuss the principles the video is trying to teach? Just a thought.

It has been a looooong time now, but I remember Jonah and the whale. The only thing similarity to the real Bible story was that there was a character named Jonah, he ended up in a fish and there was a town called Nineveh. That is what concerns me.
I personally wish they would just make cute cartoons about moral kid things and not try to tell "Bible stories" that have nothing to do with the Bible. Little kids get in their mind, after watching the same DVD a hundred times, that they learned a Bible story. If they don't go to church or go to a church that doesn't teach the Bible, but just preaches, they will have lies in their heads instead of truth.
It took me over a week to get one child to believe me over the DVD that the story of Esther that they saw was not in the Bible. Sad. Again, it could have been a cute story, if they had not implied it was in the Bible.
So, I guess I would say that I won't show these to any kids I keep. They imply that they are telling a Bible story and what they show is not even close to the truth.
Just my opinion I can see from what I have read here.

Maybe what I wrote was taken wrong? I thought someone was asking opinions, and I just gave mine.
The children I knew that watched these videos did NOT go to church on a regular basis. The parents were just wanting them to have positive entertainment and they thought they were getting Bible stories fed to their kids.
Later the kids argued with me when I read a children's Bible story book that had the real stories in them. Because they had watched Veggie Tales a hundred times, they became "truth" to them and the books were just plain wrong. LOL
So my concern with them is that they DO take REAL Bible characters and basic stories and then make up stories that have nothing to do with the Bible. In "my opinion" they could have just made up nice stories and left the Bible out of it.
"I feel" it is confusing to even kids that go to church to have a parent read the true story of Jonah, for instance, and then sit them in front of Veggie Jonah that visits a king that slaps people with fish and has a choir sing to him in the belly of a fish. It would be preferable "to me" for them to just do the same story and NOT use the name Jonah and Ninevah.
Now, with all that said, I am NOT saying they are bad. LOL It is just MY opinion, and wish, that they would leave the Bible out of their movies and that is all.

Interesting. Most of the kids I know are capable of sorting out fictionalized stories from the "real" ones (for sake of argument, we'll call the Bible stories "real". ). So, how did those kids argue with you? "No, no, you left out the part where the French Peas on the wall made fun of the veggies marching around the city! Get it right!"

LOL, they just kept telling me that the book was wrong. They really thought they knew better from watching the Veggie Tales. Finally I got my sister, that they spend more time with, to tell them that the book was really true.
Again, I am not against the Veggie guys, I just have an opinion that differs from others. It doesn't bother me to be different. I would have more appreciation for them if they just left Bible characters out of the story line, unless they are going to tell the truth about what happened to those characters.
