As an official Family Christian Blogger, I received a copy of the Noah's Ark VeggieTales Movie to review. All opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links. You can read my full disclosure policy HERE. Thank you for supporting Life is Sweeter by Design.
I was really excited for the opportunity that Family Christian gave me to preview the new Noah's Ark VeggieTales Movie. We have watched many VeggieTales movies over the years and my children have enjoyed them all!
Noah's Ark is a beloved story from the Old Testament in Genesis. The first thing my daughter said when I told her what we were going to watch was, “I love the story of Noah's Ark”. I think the story is very intriguing to children and I was glad that the VeggieTales creators decided to make it into a movie for children.
The characters in Noah's Ark are as lovable as always. You have Noah and his family. Noah is played by a bearded pea. Noah's wife, Naama, was played by a pretty blueberry. Noah's son, Shem, is kind of the star of this movie…he is played by a broccoli stalk!
The meaning behind this movie is: A Lesson in Trusting God. I think the theme of trusting God came through very clearly in the movie. Although my daughter is almost 9 years old, she was quickly drawn into the story of Noah's Ark. I think it was easy for her to understand how hard it can be to trust God sometimes.
Although the majority of the movie is based strictly on the story from Genesis….there were some liberties taken and some “drama” added into the movie. In the very beginning Bob and Larry are talking and they mention that some parts of the story are how they “imagined” it would have been for Noah and his family. I am not necessarily criticizing the writers for adding to the story, but I want parents to know that there was some literary creativity used. One example is when Shem decides he wants to try to get off the Ark before the water has receded. Shem comes up with his own plan and is not listening to God's direction. Although something like this may have occurred, it is not recorded in the Scriptures. I think it is important to remind children that they always need to go back and read the story for themselves in the Bible so they know the truth of God's Word!
Overall, this was a cute and enjoyable film. The ark was really creative because it was a giant orange slice! It is family friendly and has great music. My two-year-old doesn't pay attention to the TV unless a lively song is on! She stopped several times during the movie to look over at the TV and dance along to the fun songs! I really liked the song in the beginning of the movie that is sung by Shem and his wife called, The Best Things in Life Come in Two's!
My eight-year-old really liked Noah's Ark, but it didn't make it into the number one spot. Her number one favorite VeggieTales movie is still The Princess and the Pop Star! (that's a girl for you :))
The ending was really nice. Bob and Larry kind of sum up the movie and also finish off with a Bible Verse. This is a nice way to help children grasp the full meaning of the movie and how it all ties together in the Bible!
Family Christian has an adorable VeggieTales Noah's Ark Play Set that would be so fun for kids to play with after they watch this new movie!
I think this is a great movie to add to your family's collection of Bible-based DVD's for children! If you are looking for a last-minute Valentine's Day gift for someone special, be sure to check out Family Christian's great selection!

Aw, I just LOVE veggie tales. I grew up watching all those movies, and my siblings and I still burst out in those songs sometimes. Thanks for the great review!
Noah’s Ark is dsch a great story I am sure my daughter would love this! She’s been watching VeggieTales on Netflix and her favourite so far is Esther, The girl who became queen.
I have been trying to explain the story of Noah and his ark to my 2 year old as she has the fisher price little people version of it but she just loves the animals. I bet this would totally put things into perspective for her. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never actually heard of Veggie Tales! It looks very sweet though 🙂
My kids have watched Veggie Tales before. Glad you kids enjoyed this movie.
Watched this show at a friend’s house as a kid & thought it was really funny!
The movie looks so fun, and it’s a great little giveaway too! Thanks!
I love the veggietales, I used to watch them a lot years ago with my kid; this looks really fun!
We loved this movie!! My little guy kept asking for Veggie Tales all week after he watched it, it so far is the only one he has been able to sit all the way through!
I am most definitely a VeggieTales lover even into my adult years. So many great stories of faith and character formation.
My nieces and nephew love VeggieTales!
How neat that you got to watch the movie early. I will keep an eye out for it. God bless! 🙂
I’m looking forward to watching this with my little guy.
I love Veggie Tales! They bring so much life to bible stories and make them kid-friendly!
