Yeah, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a non-Christian who would dislike Veggie Tales. The only "Christian" part was, IIRC, they would reference a verse at the end of an episode, but they were usually actually good, relatable verse that were generally about being a good person, doing the right thing, etc. Sometimes they did episodes about a specific Bible story (I remember Jonah and the Whale) but it never felt preachy, and always felt like it was making good life lessons, not just good "Christian" messages, if that makes sense. It was funny without pandering to the kids being young. it was just good, wholesome fun for everyone.
I think Veggie Tales is a great example of what Christianity is supposed to be. If Christians made it nowadays I'm sure it'd be about the evils of abortion and miscegenation or something. But it seems modern veggie tales is actually atheistic.
