The thing I resent about the entire series is that it rips off current hits as much (and as well) as porno films that also rearrange the title and the story line for titillation’s sake.
When, O When will Christians realize they will do better with something original than with “borrowing” someone else’s ideas?

The point of using current film titles is to amuse children, NOT to titillate. How can you possibly relate something so innocent to porno films?
Have you ever even watched a Veggie Tales cartoon? They put the message of God and Bible stories into a form that children are drawn to and enjoy. The fact that they take existing stories and tweak them into versions for children that put living in the light of God into everday terms is amazing. Expecting everything they do to be “original” rather than borrowed would preclude them from using Bible Stories as well. How can they possibly tell the story of God and how God wants us to live without using Bible stories?
I think it is great that in addition to adapting Bible Stories (Like King David and the Rubber Ducky) they utilize what is going on in the world today and take classics like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde and turn them into children’s cartoons with a spiritual message amazing. If you truly resent them so much, why wast your time with it? You certainly don’t need to bother those of us who enjoy the shows with your confused opinion. Just stay away and make everyone happy, including yourself.
And learn the difference between titillation for the sake of selling porn and making jokes to amuse children. It’s a very important distinction.
By the way, would you rather they made a CHILDREN’s cartoon about King David and his Adulterous affair with Bathsheba and then passively Murdering her husband by forcing him to the front lines of a war, OR a cute story about a rubber duck? Take a minute to think about the audience they are trying to attract and you might understand their motivations.
