Watch VeggieTales: Moe and the Big Exit

Set in the Wild West during the late 1800s, VeggieTales: Moe and the Big Exit is an animated family movie that tells the story of Moe, a vegetable cowboy who enters the town of Dodge Ball City in search of a better life. However, things don't go as planned as Moe's journey takes him on an unforgettable adventure. The film opens with cowboy Moe the Onion entering Dodge Ball City, only to find out that the town is controlled by the ruthless Cactus Gang. The gang, led by the notorious Cactus Buzzard, forces the town's inhabitants to work in the local mine under inhumane conditions. Moe becomes the only hope for the people of Dodge Ball City as he learns about a prophecy that foretells of the coming of a hero who will lead them to the Promised Land.

Moe is voiced by Mike Nawrocki, who co-created the VeggieTales series. As expected from the VeggieTales franchise, the characters in Moe and the Big Exit are vegetables, providing a touch of humor and whimsy to the story. For instance, the Cactus Gang members are all cacti with cowboy hats perched on their heads. Like other VeggieTales movies, there's a mix of humor and heart in this movie, making it enjoyable for both kids and parents.

Together with a band of unlikely heroes, including a pork chop and a Larry the Cucumber in a mustard-stained western suit, Moe sets out on a journey to find the Promised Land, which they discover lies on the other side of a massive river dividing the West. Along the way, we see Moe and his friends encounter various obstacles, including a giant pickle and a group of pickpocketing peas. The journey is a test of their faith and friendship and leads them to confront their greatest fears.

Phil Vischer voices the character of Cactus Buzzard in Moe and the Big Exit, the ruthless villain who wants to control all the land in the West. He's a tough and imposing figure, with his feathers in place of hair and his sharp beak as deadly as a knife. Lisa Vischer lends her voice to the character of Miss Kitty, a kindhearted cat who befriends Moe and his friends, and Cydney Trent voices the role of Mildred, who is one of the workers in the mine and one of Moe's few true believers.

What is notable about Moe and the Big Exit is the music. Like most VeggieTales films, there are many catchy tunes and songs that accompany the characters on their journey. The songs are all original and span several genres, from country music to gospel. The music is an essential feature of the movie, capturing the story's heart, humor, and emotion, and will have you tapping your foot along to the beat.

Moe and the Big Exit also embraces biblical themes and lessons, with the film telling the story of Moses leading his people to the Promised Land. The lessons in the movie offer an opportunity for families to discuss biblical narratives and values, making this movie aimed at teaching valuable life lessons to young children. The movie's message is to have faith and patience, even when the road seems tough, and that God will bring you exactly where you need to go.
