This post about VeggieTales: Noah’s Ark was made possible with a review copy from Grace Hill Media.  All opinions are our own.

My family has enjoyed watching VeggieTales shows for more than a decade.  My youngest son and I get a bit excited when a new one is released, too. So, we were thrilled to have the chance to review VeggieTales: Noah’s Ark.

About VeggieTales: Noah’s Ark

In NOAH’S ARK, Shem and Sadie return home from their honeymoon to find that Noah (played by Pa Grape) has begun, at God’s direction, to work on a massive ark, which his wife Naamah (played by Madame Blueberry) and sons Ham (played by Larry) and Japheth (played by Bob) are helping construct before the start of 40 days and 40 nights of rain.

But Shem doesn’t understand Noah’s unshakable faith in God, particularly when animals start arriving two-by-two – while the rain is nowhere to be seen. When the deluge does come, Shem begins to understand Noah’s determination to preserve humanity’s future … and the importance of trusting in God.

NOAH’S ARK also features a brand-new “Silly Songs With Larry” segment, in which Larry dons a safari outfit as he goes on a quest for a gigantic, golden egg.

Less than three weeks after the DVD and digital download release of NOAH’S ARK, the VeggieTales excitement continues when five all-new episodes of VeggieTales In The House, the hit animated series, debut exclusively on Netflix – bringing the total of VeggieTales In the House episodes to 15 as the series continues its first season.

Our Thoughts on VeggieTales: Noah’s Ark

Overall, we enjoyed this latest addition to the VeggieTales ‘family’ of shows.  We did note that they are using a new form of animation which has the family characters looking a little different. This new animation can be seen in VeggieTales In The House on Netflix. However, that didn’t stop Noah’s Ark from being a fun retelling of a familiar and beloved Bible story.

One of the things that my youngest found interesting is the shape of the ark for this version of the story. And, it has him wanting to create structures that resemble other fruits and vegetables.

I thought that Wayne Brady did a wonderful job as Shem as did Jaci Velasquez as Shem’s wife, Sadie. What I’m not sure about is if the songs in this new style production will have the same staying power as many of the original (as in first decade) VeggieTales.
