Any rumors caught your ear lately? Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot start spreading rumors, which spread over Bumblyburg like a weed - threatening to engulf the whole town. Larry-Boy arrives and convinces them that God doesn't want us to tell stories that hurt people; He wants us to spread nice words.
Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot learn how easily rumors can be started when they tell one about Alfred. Before they know it, their little story is spreading all over Bumblyburg like a weed! Only Larry-Boy can save the day, he hopes. This video, along with the rest in the VeggieTales series, is full of laughs for kids, but at the same time manages to pack much humor that adults will connect with as well.  You will never grow tired of this video!
"Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed" is a 35-minute animated short film from 1999, so only two more years and this one has its 20th anniversary. The name of writer, director and cast member Phil Vischer maybe tells you already that this is another Veggie Tale, one of the longer ones actually. The title tells you that the focus is on rumors this time and we have a true antagonist in here: the rumor weed, an initially tiny plant that keeps growing bigger and bigger the more rumors are spread. I like antagonists and I think the weed was probably among the better aspects of this film for sure. But the goody guys were just really boring. And the story, or I should say the lesson perhaps, was not good enough for this runtime either. 20 minutes may have been sufficient. As a whole this was one of the weaker Veggie Tales I have seen, even if it is among the more known. It also lacks considerably in the music department. The songs are just not that good to be honest. It's a shame because I feel the subject is one of the best from the series, thus the popularity perhaps, and it would have deserved a much better take. This time Vischer's honorable approach and good meaning are not enough. Thumbs-down from me and I don't recommend checking it out.
