VeggieTales: The Wonderful World Of Auto-tainment!(en)

Larry the Cucumber's vision of the future includes automated robotic hosts telling jokes with random punch lines and musical numbers in which the performers and themes are chosen entirely by chance. As Bob the Tomato quickly points out, the jokes of the future aren't very funny because they don't make sense. Worse, technical malfunctions in the Ventrilomatic hosts actually promote emotional instability. Nonetheless, Bob admits that Larry's vision of the future contains some very cool adaptations of classic songs like Gilbert and Sullivan's fast-talking "Modern Major General" and Binky the Aardvark's solo performance of Mozart's The Barber of Seville. Larry's vision of the future also includes an amusing animated short about greed called "Lunch." Junior Asparagus calls Bob and Larry back to the present with a final song celebrating God's unconditional love.

Claude François comme vous ne l'avez jamais vu(fr)

Three years of research and perseverance enabled the filmmakers to uncover exceptional and completely unseen archive footage of our father in concert. More than 40 years later, it was beyond our wildest dreams! Far from the formulaic image of “Cloclo” on television, we suddenly see a different artist, a showman, an extraordinary dancer giving his heart and soul, sweating, his eyes filled with his music. We realize that at least two generations are unaware of his true artistic dimension. Through these audiovisual treasures, he alone tells us about his career, his influences, and shares his passion for music and his craft. If we had to show our children just one documentary about our father, it would be this one!
