Larryboy - The Cartoon Adventures - Ego Crushers

Larryboy, the superhero alter ego of the cucumber made famous by VeggieTales, takes animated center stage in this couplet of morally sound yet nonpreachy sagas. The good citizens look to Larryboy for help, and he's willing, but wants all the credit. His ego not only diminishes the contributions of others, but shrinks them physically. Will he share the glory before he's reduced the entire town to a plate of baby vegetables? In the 22-minute title story, devious carrot the Alchemist and Mother Pearl--his evil onion of a mommy--plot chemical sabotage on the citizens of Bumblyburg.

In the seven-minute "Cuke of All Trades," the cucumber of steel helpfully agrees to watch two neighboring shops at once, with predictably disastrous results. Young DVD watchers will delight in the extras, which will teach them to draw the mother and son villains, take a pop quiz, and "read" a Larryboy storybook. (Ages 4 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs
