VeggieTales: Lyle the Kindly Viking

March 2001 •English

Oh, my! Determined to present something "classy" for a change, Archibald Asparagus has taken over VeggieTales!

Of course, working with the French Peas as assistants is a recipe for disaster and in the chaos - and hilarity - that ensues, Bob, Larry, and Junior all learn a great lesson about sharing. Archibald, on the other hand, mostly just learns to never again work with the French Peas. Don't miss Junior Asparagus as "Lyle the Kindly Viking" in this hilarious VeggieTales musical adventure!
