King George and the Ducky - S1.E11
Overview
King George And The Ducky is the 13th episode in the VeggieTales animated series. It was released in April 11, 2000 on VHS, and on May 20, 2003 on DVD. Subtitled "A lesson about... Selfishness", it teaches viewers that they must think of others before themselves. The message is conveyed through a story based on the Biblical account of David and Bathsheba from Second Samuel.
Although the VeggieTales adaptation remains relatively true to the source, Bathsheba is represented by a rubber duck, thus replacing the sin of adultery with the less difficult crime of theft. But the essence of the story remains intact as the King covets something belonging to his neighbor and takes it for his own and the selfish act is later condemned by a wiseman/prophet.
The subsequently released Duke and the Great Pie War is a prequel to this episode.
This was the first episode to use the Maya animation package instead of Softimage.
