VeggieTales: Rack, Shack, and Benny (1995)


Rack, Shack, and Benny was released in October 10, 1995 on VHS and re-released on DVD on February 8, 2009. Subtitled "A Lesson in Handling Peer Pressure", it teaches viewers that they should resist peer pressure and stand up for what they believe. The video retells the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego being thrown into the fiery furnace from the book of Book of Daniel. In this Biblical Story, King Nebuchadnezzar II requires that all his subjects bow down before a false idol. But three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, refuse and are thrown into a furnace. Miraculously they aren't harmed, and Nebuchadnezzar recognizes the power of their God. Rack, Shack, and Benny keeps true to the original story but places it in a chocolate factory where the owner Nebby K. Nezzar offers three of his employees (played by Larry, Bob, and Junior) a promotion if they worship his most favorite thing in his life; a statue of a chocolate Bunny.

The Silly Song is The Dance of the Cucumber.
