My Top Ten Least Favorite Things About the New Veggietales Series

I made myself watch a few episodes on YouTube, and it's not too bad, but I still prefer the old VeggieTales over the new one. The new design isn't the best, and it's hard to tell which character is which.

The first Silly Song I saw was "Golden Egg," and I couldn't even recognize some of the characters, like Laura Carrot or Petunia. Plus, the French Peas look a bit stereotypical now, as they have mustaches. To add to that, the French Peas now have pink noses, which don't match their color like in the old show.

Okay, his name is now Ichabeezer, and his personality is unlikable, unlike in the old series where he was more likable. I think he's supposed to be Mr. Nezzer with a new design (on the VeggieTales - It's for the Kids wiki, it said Ichabeezer is his replacement).

Apparently, DreamWorks doesn't allow people of a certain race to voice characters of another race, and the person who originally voiced Mr. Nezzer was African American. They also say Ichabeezer is Mr. Nezzer with a new design, though Phil Vischer says he's a different character. I looked this up yesterday after writing about it.

Yes, I loved Larry as a kid and still do today. I watched the Silly Songs on YouTube and felt some serious childhood nostalgia (probably overdid it, because now I'm back into Larry). But I saw a clip of a LarryBoy episode on VeggieTales' official YouTube channel, and I didn't really like the new look - especially the LarryMobile.

It looks like it was made with cheap animation, though I'm sure Universal Studios and Illumination Entertainment could create a better LarryMobile even if they used low-budget animation software, like they did for Despicable Me. The new LarryMobile looks NOTHING like the old one.

One of the songs I've seen (and will never watch again) - you can look it up on YouTube by searching for "VeggieTales in the House Silly Songs" (without quotes) - is "Silly No More." This one is a bit strange. It's the only song I've seen so far that I didn't like, and I've only watched four episodes.

I saw one where they get trapped in a store overnight, one where Ichabeezer's dog runs away after he pays more attention to a new puppy he found, one where Larry's cousin visits, and one where Junior's dad and a pea's dad try to find the best pet for a school pet event. I also saw "A Club Divided."

But the "Silly No More" video was weird, and the only song I found odd. Well, maybe Ichabeezer's song about his dog was a little weird too.

I'm not sure if Jimmy and Jerry's personalities were off in the episode where they get trapped in the store overnight, but I have to admit one thing: I found no problem with Mr. Lunt, Bob, and Larry.

Yes, there's a piece of living meat in a show with fruits and vegetables. Plus, the character can be kind of annoying - maybe a bit more than "kind of." I found out his name is Bacon Bill on Wikipedia.

Okay, I don't have a problem with the Silly Songs themselves, but they're not as funny as the old ones. Most of the old Silly Songs managed to get a laugh or chuckle out of me. The new ones are a little strange, except for "Golden Egg."

"Golden Egg" sounded like a song you'd hear from the old VeggieTales series, depending on how you look at it (since everyone is different). But "Golden Egg" didn't really make me laugh. So I guess you could say it sounded like a VeggieTales song that wasn't a Silly Song? I'm not sure.

Apparently, Archibald is now the Mayor. In the episode where they get trapped in the store, it's said that he never helps clean up the town and makes everyone else do it. Does that seem like Archibald to you? I don't think so, but I guess you never know.

When in the old series did they ever eat lots of sardines? Like seriously.
