Rating: 6.5
Overview
Oh, my! Determined to present something "classy" for a change, Archibald Asparagus has taken over VeggieTales! Assisted by those rascally French Peas, Archibald aims for new heights in veggie programming by attempting to produce "the world's first all-vegetable staging of Shakespeare's Hamlet," the first-ever "Classy Songs with Larry," and for the grand finale, the world premiere of what he believes to be Gilbert and Sullivan's lost musical: Lyle the Kindly Viking! Of course, working with the French Peas as assistants is a recipe for disaster and in the chaos - and hilarity - that ensues, Bob, Larry, and Junior all learn a great lesson about sharing. Archibald, on the other hand, mostly just learns to never again work with the French Peas. Don't miss Junior Asparagus as "Lyle the Kindly Viking" in this hilarious VeggieTales musical adventure! Your whole family will sing - and laugh - along as they learn that "sharing gets us more of what we really want - friends!"

Center
Primary
The film champions universal moral virtues such as kindness, non-violence, and self-acceptance, presenting a moral fable where individual character transforms a community. Its focus on apolitical ethical lessons rather than partisan ideologies leads to a neutral rating.
This animated film features anthropomorphic vegetable characters, which means traditional human racial or gender representation is not directly applicable to its casting. The narrative focuses on a general moral lesson about kindness and acceptance, without engaging in explicit critiques or portrayals of traditional human identities or specific DEI themes.
Secondary
The film directly promotes core Christian values such as kindness, forgiveness, and self-sacrifice through its narrative and character development. It presents these virtues as inherently good and beneficial, aligning the narrative with the dignity of the faith's teachings.
This VeggieTales film, aimed at a young audience with Christian moral lessons, contains no discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on themes of kindness and acceptance without engaging with queer identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film features original characters created for the VeggieTales universe, such as Lyle the Kindly Viking. There are no instances of characters who were previously established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender.
The characters in VeggieTales are anthropomorphic vegetables and do not possess human racial characteristics. Therefore, the concept of a 'race swap' as defined does not apply to this film.
