Those who are complaining about the new Veggietales series are stuck in the past and obviously didn't learn enough life lessons from the original series. Why on earth would you so vocally tear down the hard work of good people with meaningful intentions, especially when the production value of the new short episodes has gone way up, and nothing is preventing you from reliving your fond memories with the original material which is also freely available on Netflix? Veggietales is still producing programming similar to its classic material. However, for this series of shorts, they are doing something new. You can't fault them for this, unless the end result is really bad. But it's not! In fact, it's very, very good.
Look, as a fan of Veggietales from their beginning, I'll admit to being a little leery with the formula being tampered with, and the design changes which admittedly don't work as well in still images. But, when fully animated and rendered, the new designs actually hold up very well.
As far as the content, the pace is quicker, the editing is zippier, the overall feel is perhaps even a bit loonier. But, the heart and great moral lessons are all still there. And, their theme of "God made you special and loves you very much" is still present. So, it's hard to understand why anyone would so passionately protest against the updated version.
My kids and I absolutely love the new series. It's full of life and fun... and it maintains all the great values of the original series. But, it is also more accessible to modern audiences. I can't really fault the producers for working to broaden their audience, and I'm not sure why anyone else would either.
