Larry the Cucumber has a problem.He's broken something of his dad's.In fact, he's considering running away from home so he doesn't have to face his dad.Fortunately, Bob the Tomato has a solution for him, our story for this episode.In Kansas, Darby (Jr. Asparagus) is bored with life on his father's floss farm.He wants to go to Ha's, an amusement park in the area.When his father says they can't go, Darby runs away with his pig, er dog, Tutu.But before he gets far, he is swept up and taken to Munchieland.From there, he sets out to follow Yellow McToad to Ha's, along the way making friends with a Scarecrow (Mr. Lunt), a Tin Man (Larry the Cucumber), and a Lion (Pa Grape).But what will happen when he runs out of money?Will his father forgive him?
We also get a new silly song, "Monkey."By the time it is over, you will definitely know the difference between a monkey and an ape.Just don't take it as far as Larry does.
I guessed that Phil Vischer wrote this episode, and I was right.This is an absolutely hilarious show.Many of the jokes will probably go over the heads of the intended audience.In fact, they will go over the heads of anyone who hasn't seen the movie version of Wizard of Oz.Even the songs are spoofs of the songs from that movie.But if you have seen the film, the puns will constantly crack you up.There is only the one story in this episode, but trust me, there's enough going on for 50 minutes.They even introduce a few potential new characters.
Even with the spoof of Oz, the story also tells the story of the Prodigal Son.Not sure how that works?Trust me, the two actually work very well together.And the ultimate moral is that God loves us very much.Nothing new for the Veggies, but a great new way to remind us.
So if you're like me and anxiously await every video the VeggieCrew gives us, rest assured you will love this installment.
