Summary: 5-star movie, 4-star bonus features
Review: Sure it's different from other Veggie Tales, but it's technically not Veggie Tales...it's Larry Boy. It's supposed to be different, and as mentioned, geared for older children.

I do agree that the short was disappointing to say the least...all the fly did was land on his nose, and Larry became obsessed in wishing to destroy him...not a good lesson for kids...

...However, the message of not holding onto one's anger or things will get progressively worse is a very good one, especially if your child has a problem with this. On a couple occasions after a rough day in school, I'd let my son watch this and the very next day he had totally turned it around, proudly stating that no angry eyebrows got him.

Kudos to Big Idea!

Summary: I for one am glad to have this in my son's video library.

Summary: At least the new theme song is cool!
Review: The cartoon is not what we were hoping for. I was disappointed
also to hear that Alfred in the Larry Boy Rumor Weed is now using his regualr name of Archibald. What happened to the musical numbers? Why change what works so well? At least the new theme song rocks. "What the world needs now is a hero" is a great tune. I agree that the fly cartoon added on is totally unneccessary.

Summary: A Different Larryboy
Review: The faces are different as is the type of animation. My son, who is a huge Larryboy fan, didn't like the "new" Larry. I also think this video lacks some of the wholesome emphasis of the other Larryboy and Veggie Tales.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You must get it!!
Review: The first day we got the cartoon, my son watched it twice. My 14 month old loves veggie tales and I personally like what they teach. Angry is something that every family has to deal with and this cartoon will make it easier to teach my son how to handle your anger. I've become a BIG fan of veggie tales - and will continue to purchase there cartoons for my son.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun, fun, fun!
Review: The traditional animation look of the new Larryboy is wonderful! It reminds me of classic UPA ("Underdog", "Mr. Magoo", etc.) -- kids and adults will love it. Read a news release about this video and was interested to see that Big Idea partnered with veteran cartoon studio Cornerstone Animation to reprise this nostalgic animation style. The moral message is delivered effectively by the magic of top-quality animation. My family loves the new Larryboy!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What happened?
Review: This video was a complete disappointment. What happened to the snappy dialogue and the clearly Christian orientation of the previous videos? There was no mention of God or the Bible; the format was clearly aimed at an older audience familiar with classic cartoon conventions (and not very accessible to my preschooler); and LarryBoy has totally changed--rather than setting up the other characters to fix their own messes, he now fixes their problems for them (in true superhero style)--and somewhere along the way he lost his inimitable, gentle-hearted, and bumbling manner. Nowhere was this more clear than in the final "short", which showed him manically trying to kill a fly who happened to land on him. That "short" undermined the whole message of the main segment: to let go of your anger.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Golden Age look!
Review: TRUE fans of animation will hail and appreciate this adaptation of the VeggieTales franchise. The style is reminiscent of 1960s TV animation, but with fuller more emotive acting on the part of the characters. And the short "Fly By Might" has a wonderfully classic feel...only an excellent animation director could pull off 7 minutes of animation with NO dialogue. Congratulations Cornerstone Animation and Big Idea. A triumph!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good and bad changes
Review: Veggie Tales are great! This movie improved Larry-Boy in that he was more of a super hero type. Unfortunately, he lost his pure Batman-ness and got confused with Superman, confusing the history somewhat and possibly preventing a cucumber's visit from [the destroyed planet of a vegetable sounding faintly like] Krypton.

One BIG improvement was the addition of other super heroes. Electro-melon was perfect.
