We’ve not seen “Narnia” yet, but we do have a new family favorite. Yep, a family favorite….from Zander – Mike we all enjoy this one: Veggie Tales, “Lord of the Beans”.
Lord of the Beans is a satirical look at “Lord of the Rings” and throws in various other spoofs as well. We are huge Tolkein fans so this appealed to our funny bone. LoB however, does pack a message. It follows the fantastic journey of a Flobbit named Toto Baggypants who inherits a most unusual gift. With the help of his mentor Randalf and a spirited group of friends, Toto embarks on a mission to discover how he should use his gift. On the journey he has to cross Mt Much-Snowia, encounters Lord Scaryman and sporks, and continually asks “Why have I been given this gift”. Obviously (if you’ve read the Tea Time thoughts) you’ll see that this message would resonate with me personally.
I’ve been asked if the message is stronger than the most recent fare from Veggie Tales and I’d have to say yes. We really liked this one – and it seemed like the “old ones”.
That’s it – our touch of culture for the week.
