VeggieTales - Moe & The Big Exit



Have you ever seen an American buffalo climb a tree?
MOE AND THE BIG EXIT is basically a retelling of the story of Exodus from the Bible, but set in a Western format. It's also a homage to the Lone Ranger and a sequel to one of the more popular Veggie Tales in recent years, THE BALLAD OF LITTLE JOE.

Following the usual Veggie Tales format, MOE AND THE BIG EXIT begins with Bob preparing to read a letter from a child asking for help in understanding a lesson learned at church. However, Larry interrupts Bob and asks him if he remembers THE BALLAD OF LITTLE JOE. As Larry is already dressed in Western garb, it becomes clear that he is hinting at something. Larry then reads a letter from a viewer who asks to see a sequel to LITTLE JOE. Bob is able to read his letter before Larry announces he has the perfect story to tell. Thus begins the story of MOE AND THE BIG EXIT.

A group of singing carrots sitting around a campfire gives a recap of THE BALLAD OF LITTLE JOE and one of the members of the group narrates the tale...

Heigh Ho Sliver Away!
It's a return to Dodgeball City for the newest entry in the VeggieTales video series. This one is a follow up to THE BALLAD OF LITTLE JOE in every way. In fact, it even starts with a recap of that story. And, since that was the story of Joseph, it naturally follows that this is the story of Moses.

Moe (Larry the Cucumber) is a descendant of Little Joe who was lucky enough to be adopted by the mayor's daughter when the rest of the young were sent up the river. As a result, he lives a life of luxury while his kin are forced to work building the Grand Canyon. All that changes when he is forced to defend a worker struggling with a heavy load. Moe takes off for the Rockies. But after several years, God appears to him as a burning tumbleweed and tells him to go back to Dodgeball City to free the rest of his kin. Can he follow directions to do it?

I rewatched LITTLE JOE recently, and it really built my expectations for this video. While there were fun parts, it...

funny
