Fried Chicken Joke and Slavery

You will see in the movie the Isrealites instead of saying that they do not want to be slaves to Philistines this:

Jimmy Gourd (Isrealite): Um - do you guys have any fried chicken? I've got a real hankering for fried chicken.

I am horrified to see this in a children's movie. Especially one that is supposed to be teaching Bible lessons. It is wrong. Slaves did not ask for fried chicken.

I have banned VeggieTales from my house. I do NOT tolerate racial remarks.

Context is important. Being threatened slavery, and then asking if the people have fried chicken? This was not an unintentional remark.

Trivia
Mike Nawrocki wrote a song for this video called "I Love My Tongue" in which Larry would sing about loving to yodel. But he thought it sounded weird and changed it to "Love My Lips". He also didn't want people to think the song was about speaking in tongues. However, the idea of yodeling was later used in VeggieTales: The End of Silliness? More Really Silly Songs! (1998) in "The Yodeling Veterinarian of the Alps".

Goofs
When Dave tells Goliath he will fight him, Jerry is standing between Tom and Jimmy. In the close-up, Jimmy and Jerry have switched places.

Quotes
Pa Grape: It's very nice that you wanna help. But saving the country is a big thing. You're a little guy! Big people do big things and little people do little things. So - stay with the sheep.

Crazy credits
The film's title does not appear until the end.

Alternate versions
During the Silly Song, as Archibald presents Larry with the Rorschach test, one of the images is of a human being. In the original 1996 VHS release, it's a headshot of Sonny Bono. Following Bono's death in 1998, it was changed to a caricature of Big Idea animator, Robert Ellis. The DVD version uses neither Bono or Ellis and instead uses a caricature of Mike Nawrocki.
