Veggie Tales - LarryBoy And The Rumour Weed

Reviewed by Tom Lennie

Another in the Veggie Tales Classics Series and one of several Larry Boy DVDs, this, like its predecessors, has a particular moral - in this case teaching not to gossip but to speak positively about others. I found the animation colourful, imaginative and engaging. My eight-year old nephew did too - he saw the DVD cover on the table and pleaded to be allowed to watch it. He then sat engrossed in front of the TV all the while it was on. One unusual audio enhancement on this product is the employment of a 32-piece string section and an 80-man choir. Play-time is 35 minutes, which is probably long enough attention-span for most kids, and there's a host of bonus features, including some interesting behind-the-scenes info and some added interactive fun. 'Larry Boy And The Rumour Weed' is another real winner. Thumbs up from myself and from Master Fraser.
