Join Little Joe and his rootin' tootin' French pea brothers on an adventure that will take them from an abandoned mineshaft all the way to Dodge Ball City--with Little Joe's faith being tested every step of the way! It's a Wild West yarn that teaches us to keep the faith when facing hardship because, in the end, god can work all things out for good. Yee-haw!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the first VeggieTales feature to use Maya CGI for crowd scenes, blending it with their classic stop-motion — a technical gamble for a cucumber western.
The Dodge Ball City setting and saloon tropes deliberately mirror 1950s TV westerns, filtering Americana nostalgia through Sunday school curriculum — pure Gen X/Millennial childhood programming.
