LOTB Thread #1: Lord of the Beans

LOTB Thread #2: Any VeggieTales Fans Out There?

Funny, funny movie. I'm guessing this thread is for the more serious aspects of the film, though....

Not really, it's for all aspects of the film, both funny and serious (well, maybe "earnest" is a better word). I put it in Movies after doing a check for reviews here because I thought it fit here, being a movie review thread. I see my comment about not having stumbled out of Mirth is coming back to haunt me now since I didn't look in that forum.

Now I simply must see that, but I have to admit that Veggie Tales gets old....

I think that it had the same meaning and the same lesson that LOTR had just in a funnier way. Not only was the actual movie funny but the commentary was hilarious, and had a lot of origanal jokes. I also loved the way they changed the names of all the characters and added in Leg-o-lamb's brother as a part of the fellowship.

The funniest part of the movie was "Silly Songs with Larry" when he was an Elvish impersonator.

I am a VeggieTales fan and unashamed of it, and I loved "Lord of the Beans." Some of the ways it rips off LOTR are obvious (like Randalf and Toto's first conversation and the names of the members of the Fellowship of the Bean), but some are really clever and multi-layered (like the army of Sporks and Ear-A-Corn's Silly Song).

Also, Kurt Heineke is a great composer who has previously provided score sound-alikes for veggie rips of "Rocky" and "Indiana Jones." His score isn't exactly Howard Shore-sounding, but his Shire theme is very similar, and he does the 5/4 beat for the Sporks, which I really appreciated as a soundtrack fan.

You may love VeggieTales or you may hate it, but for any LOTR fan, Lord of the Beans is worth at least a screening. And as someone mentioned above, watch the Veggie Commentary too. Larry and Mr. Lunt are crazy.
