Larry the Cucumber stars as MacLarry – a misfit inventor who is stuck in the middle of the silliest battle ever between two tribes of perpetual pranksters! When the biggest prank of the century is unleashed, the feuding tribes are in danger of being overcome by the stinkiest cheese in the land! Will MacLarry realize that his God-given talents may be just what is needed to save them all from the loathsome Limburger??
If you are as anxious I was to see the movie you will want to check out the trailer.
It’s pretty funny too!

The opinions in this post were my own and were not influenced by any other parties.
Recently Veggie tales sent me an advance DVD copy of “Maclarry” to watch with my family for Summer Family Movie night. We put on our pajamas ordered a large cheese pizza then we all snuggled under the blankets on the couch.
Now don’t act surprised.
How can you watch a movie about stinky cheese and not eat any cheese?
Exactly….
The movie is short.
Only 45 minutes so it’s a great before bed movie.
There are no scary scenes, lots of great songs and lots of laughs along the way.
With a 6 year old and an 8 year old this movie is excellent cconversation starter regarding how to “get along” (perfect with younger siblings)
Love LOVE love that!
Here’s what the kids thought of the movie:
Niffy nunu: hadn’t seen or watched a Veggie tale movie in a few years {she’s 18} but when I asked her what she thought she shared that she liked it and thought it was cute.
I heard her snicker when Querty kicked in. We were both surprised to see an updated Querty!
Mr.D: He thought it was awesome!! He is really into inventing and creating right now so there were quite a few scenes that peaked his interest. As soon as the movie was over he wanted me to put it back on.
Giggles: When I asked her what she thought she told me that she learned that “God made her special” and that “teasing is mean.”
Punky: May be a little young for the “getting along with other” message since she is only 2 but she has been repeating “Eww..stinky cheese!”ever since the movie ended.
Thankfully we can watch it over and over again so I know whens shes ready the message will sink in.
Here’s what I thought of the movie:
Plus this movie came “just in time”. With only 4 weeks left before school resumes I think we all need a refresher course on “getting along with others”.
Can’t wait to curl up and watch this movie again…
Confession…I'm 23 but I love the Veggie Tales movies! It's just so cute and wholesome.
These are the cutest movies! So cute!
I just love Veggie Tale movies…so great for kids!!This one looks really cute!
The kids loved Veggie Tales when they were younger and we even had the chance to tour their studios!
My little one is almost 3 and she loves it!
We've never seen Veggie Tales, but my three year old might be interested in it now. We'll give it a try.
I've never seen a Veggie Tales – but sounds like they teach some good values, will have to check them out!
I love having my kids watch wholesome programs like Veggie Tales! They teach such great values. -Amy D
This will be perfect for my two kids age 6 years and 2 years old. They loved to watch movies!
I love the Veggie Tales message and lessons in their movies. With five kids from 17 to 6, we need a repeat of the getting along message frequently. This looks like a good investment. 🙂
Looks like a really cute movie!! 🙂
These characters look adorable! Thanks for introducing me – I bet that my kiddos would love it. 🙂
I love the fact that these are funny and yet have messages of traditional values. Great stuff.
My kids love Veggie Tales too…we'll be looking into this one!
My kids LOVE Veggie Tales, can't wait to get this one now 🙂
The Veggie Tales are a big hit at our house. When my twins were little they would only go to sleep while watching a Veggie Tales movie!
My husband is a big Veggie Tales fan – I think he used to watch it as a kid!
My son is a HUGE Veggie Tales fan and would love this movie.
OMG! My husband is a huge Veggie Tales fan – and a fan of Mac & Cheese. He would absolutely love this – and I'm sure that he doesn't have this one!
