We’ve been watching VeggieTales’ newest movie, Noah’s Ark, on repeat at our house for the past couple of weeks, and they sent us a couple of DVDs and Bobs to share with you guys!
Ali loves this movie because she gets all the humor (or most of it – but they always put those nuggets in there for us parents.)
Noah loves this movie because he can read the title, since it’s the one word in the universe that he can read.
And I love the movie because the main character (Shem) is voiced by Wayne Brady, and it brings back fond memories of our pre-kid days when we used to watch hours of “Whose Line is it Anyway?”. Every time the movie starts, I have a strong urge to find Whose Line on Netflix and binge watch it all night long.
(Except that I don’t do anything all night long. But we’ve already discussed that.)
Obviously, the movie has been a huge hit in our house, and has even inspired some rather artistic diary entries by Ali.
Which, in turn, inspired me to use this as an opportunity to let her have a fun day of school centered around the movie – and slip in a writing project at the end.
Because that’s what us homeschool Moms do. We exploit fun and turn it into school.
Ali and I just studied about how to write a book report in her English curriculum, so I explained to her that she could, in the same way, write a movie report. I sat her down in front of the movie, gave her some paper and a pen to take notes on the things that she wanted to write about, and then after the movie, we discussed her findings and constructed a movie report together. She then wrote it out for you guys.
So, I give you, Ali’s very first Movie Review.
Giant squids and honeymoons and Easter Egg Hunts. If uppity movie reviewers would just finish their reviews with “I like this movie because it is funny!”, the world would be a better place.
If you’d like to win one of the two DVDs and Bobs that I have to give away, simply comment on this post! You have until March 18 to enter, and the two winners will be emailed and announced on my Giveaway Winners Page on March 19.
Best of luck!
Disclosure: We were sent a copy of Noah’s Ark to review and enjoy, but Ali’s opinions are her own – as are mine.
Love your photography!
I’d love to have Bob the Tomato! I already have Laura the Carrot, because, obviously. :) I do love Veggie Tales and I have a framed photo of Wayne Brady in my home.
Yes, I do in fact like to talk to tomatoes, and I am quite fond of waltzing with potatoes, but a squash does not make me smile. It makes me throw up a little in my mouth.
My daughter (3) loves her some VT! Thank goodness it is on Netflix.
My children don’t eat many vegetables, but they sure consume plenty of VeggieTales!!! We would love to win a copy of the newest one.
We would love to have a copy of the movie and Bob to add to our Veggie collection.
Yay Veggie Tales! I would love to see the new Noah. I am expecting my first child in July and have every intention of raising her on Veggie Tales! Plus the Bob plush toy would look adorable in the nursery! Thank you for your fun giveaways and I loved Ali’s review.
My 4 kiddos would love to win Bob and the movie! We love us some veggie… I mean fruit tales!
Love following your site and the pictures, brings me back to Birmingham every time. I love and miss that city. Been gone way too long.
Nothing sweeter than a toddler dancing to the veggietales theme song!
We love us some Veggie Tales!!!!! Thanks for always keeping me entertained with your blog! Love!!
I love Ali’s movie review! You both must have worked hard since it’s so clearly written and follows the plot line. I, too, love her ending of the review :) Jake still loves Veggie Tales and we would love to get a chance to see this new movie! Thanks so much for the giveaway!!
Loved Ali’s review; she has quite a knack for writing. Great job Ali!!
I wanted to comment on Ali’s excellent work, but please don’t put my name in the draw, sadly we are well passed the Veggie Tale phase in our household now.

This would be great in our house! My kids love Veggie Tales and my kindergartener is in a class play about Noah’s Ark next week!
Veggies are a huuuuge hit at our house. (Wonderfully they do a good job parenting when mama is out sick on the couch
My daughter is just starting to get into Veggie Tales!
Oh we love Veggie Tales! I hadn’t heard this was out yet!
Sure…enter me in the drawing, please.
I would love to win this for my 3 year old!
We love Veggie Tales!
Nice job on the movie review! We are currently in the middle of writing a book report and learning proper presentation skills. K’s not too excited about it. Maybe I should let her review a movie. That sounds much more interesting!
i would love to win a copy!
My kids love Veggie Tales. Nice movie review!
We love veggie tales? Except the one about Moses made my oldest sob hysterically at a school event when she was 2. She feared for his life. Oh and thank Ali because my oldest can not stand to do book reports. The kid is 7 and reads at a 5th grade level and so she has enrichment reading which requires her to do a weekly book report. Which translates to Mom beating her head against a table as the 7 year old goes on and on about how unfair it is that SHE has to write a book report. In the time that the whining takes, she could write 10 book reports. So I am going to share that there are other children that write them and enjoy them.
thankful for alli’s review! I had TOTALLY forgotten that part about the squid eating the hot air balloon!
i just like you. You’re FUNNY. And our boys rock their BOWL haircuts!!!!!!
Loved the review. Ali did a great job. My boys would love to have a copy of this movie!
I’d love to give this movie to my little cousins!
We love Veggie Tales!
I would LOVE to win this for my 2 1/2 yr old grand-daughter. And her 8 month old little brother. Love, LOVE your blogs.
I would love to win a copy! We love Veggietales!
We all love Veggie Tales here, would love to win for my 2 year old daughter
My 3 year old loves Noah’s Ark (and Veggie Tales). :)
Aw, those Bobs are super cute and I’d love to have my kids watch the movie. I myself probably will do other chores since Ali’s review has pretty much summed it up for me. :)
We always enjoy Veggie Tales. Haven’t seen this one yet, though. Ali wrote a great review!
That would be a great movie to receive just in time for Easter. Thanks Ali for letting us know the topic of the Funny Song.
Love veggie tales. They have great biblical stories that are great for kids. this would make a great addition to the easter baskets
