Review of VeggieTales: Josh and the Big Wall

"VeggieTales: Josh and the Big Wall!" is n animated short film from 1997, so this one has its 20th anniversary this year and it was made by Chris Olsen and Phil Vischer, who (especially the latter) worked on many other VeggieTales as well. This one runs for 35 minutes, so don't fall for 30/31-minute versions that end abruptly without the film being over. The subject here is a really known and important one, so I expected a solid VeggieTale with decent significance, but sadly I was disappointed. The contents frequently seemed way too much aimed at small children compared to other VeggieTales and as a consequence the story-telling, significance and also voice acting failed. It is by no means a failure and still a somewhat decent watch at times, but the weaknesses here are just too frequent for me to recommend this. i also felt the music was not on par with other VeggieTales films. Certainly a missed opportunity, I give it a thumbs-down and it's worth checking out only for the very biggest fans of the series. The charm and magic that frequently comes with the VeggieTales characters is missing completely here.
