Always having a basic Christian theme. The humor is entertaining for children, as well as adults. This movie is no exception. My 6 year old loved it! My 4 year old thought it was a little scary (but he thinks all veggie tales and disney movies are scary, andything with a “bad guy”).

Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah’s Umbrella addresses the issue of confidence around friends and teaches children to do the right thing and not worry about possible ridicule.
In this episode, Larry the Cucumber stars as Minnesota Cuke, the curator of the Mooselake Children’s Museum. A rich man named Humfrey Muffet sends Cuke on a quest for Noah’s Ark. Muffet wants the Ark for his Bible-themed goldfish pond. Cuke, along with his friends Martin, Julia and Professor Rattan, work to locate the Ark and learn of the existence of a supposedly powerful “Noah’s Umbrella.” Following clues, Cuke journeys to the pyramids in Mexico and later to Turkey and overcomes tests and hardships. Rattan’s evil twin brother named Wicker knows of the quest and tries to find the location of the umbrella and Ark before the others. The accompanying silly song for this episode is titled “Sippy Cup.” Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah’s Umbrella is an Indiana Jones inspired episode, much like the earlier VeggieTales adventure, Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hairbrush.
Minnesota Cuke is overly concerned about what other people think of him. The show relates the following message: “God promises He will give us the confidence to do the right thing,” despite what others may think. It is important to have faith in God’s plans, just like Noah had great faith when he built the Ark. The applicable Bible verse discussed at the end of the film is Proverbs 29:25 – “Being afraid of people can get you in trouble, but if you trust in the Lord, you will be safe.”
This faced-paced episode full of adventure and suspense will keep kids interested. Like the other VeggieTales episodes, the adventure includes plenty of creative and witty remarks. For example, one of the cities Cuke visits is called “El Pez,” the ancient city of candy dispensers. For those interested in incorporating bilingual studies, parts of the episode feature Spanish words and phrases, especially the song “Mexican Ice Cream.” And, to my delight, the song “Arise and Shine” plays a big part in the show. I have a feeling VeggieTales has another hit on their hands!

Great for all kids any age! My three year old son has been in love with these movies since he was six months, and now his one year old sister is following after him loving these movies! And its even fun and educational for adults and parents. A great way to introduce God into their lives! Highly recommended.
