As long time Veggie Tale fans and the other creations of Phil Vischer it is no surprise that we love the movie Galaxy Buck: Mission to Sector 9 which just released on DVD this week. We were fortunate to receive an advanced peek at the film, and the kids couldn't be more thrilled.
What could possibly go wrong?
Buck Denver is "just" a phone operator at a call center when he's convinced that he isn't doing BIG enough things for God. The poster in his cubicle tells him so. Completely self-driven he sets out on a mission to Sector 9 with his co-workers; never mind that he's never actually piloted a ship in space before. On his journey to this "uninhabited" planet, Buck learns a valuable lesson about helping others and what exactly it means to follow God and obey the rule of love.
About the movie:
Buck Denver has a simple dream - to save the galaxy. Working for the Galactic Mission Board, Buck dreams of carrying God's love to every corner of the Milky Way! Except he doesn't have a starship. Or a crew. Or even a captain's license. He just needs a chance. But when that chance comes and Buck finds himself leading a real mission into deep space, things don't go at ALL like he imagined! If he's doing what God wants him to do, why is everything going wrong? From VeggieTales® and What's in the Bible? creator Phil Vischer, Galaxy Buck: Mission to Sector 9 is a wild, galactic adventure that teaches kids a powerful lesson about trusting God with everything - even our dreams!
Run time: Approximately 40 minutes
The kids and I previewed the movie together, and they all enjoyed it very much. As soon as the film ended both the four and five year old shouted, "Watch it again! Watch it again!" The ten year old enjoyed it as well. She said, "That was a good movie." As a parent, I appreciate the lesson and the platform it provides me for talking with my children about what it means to obey the rule of love.

Nancy - That's a wonderful idea! Science experiments are so much more fun when more people are involved, and I love learning together with other families. My kids do, too! ;)
Annette - I love giving gifts to people too. My kids are coming along in this. Currently, I have one baker. She's already planning who she wants to bake her prize winning cookie recipe for as gifts.
I like to show love by trying to help where it helps that person most.
