The VeggieTales Show
The VeggieTales Show (often marketed as simply VeggieTales) is an American Christian animated television series created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki. The series served as a revival and sequel of the American Christian computer-animated franchise VeggieTales. It was produced through the partnerships of TBN, NBCUniversal, Big Idea Entertainment, and Trilogy Animation, and ran from October 22, 2019, to April 1, 2022.
Vischer, Nawrocki, and Lisa Vischer reprised their respective roles as the voices of Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber, and Junior Asparagus, with Kurt Heinecke returning to compose the show's music score. They are joined by the creative team led by show-runner Todd Waterman.
This was the first VeggieTales production to be entirely outsourced following DreamWorks Animation's closure of Big Idea's headquarters in 2017, and the last production to involve the Vischers, Nawrocki and Heinecke before their departure from the franchise in 2021.
The show focuses on the VeggieTales characters putting on Broadway-style shows in Mr. Nezzer's theater that retell Bible stories and parody mainstream Pop-culture. Each episode begins with a question in the form of a letter from a kid, and then Bob and Larry respond to that question by putting on a show. Bob the Tomato attempts to use the show to accomplish his dream of becoming the next Mister Rogers. According to Vischer, "the thing that drives Bob crazy is when Mister Rogers does Mister Rogers, everything goes perfectly. Nothing ever goes wrong on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. And Bob wants that for his show, but he can never achieve it." Each show never goes the way that Bob had initially planned, resulting in complete and total chaos.
Phil Vischer says "It's really all about Bob and Larry wanting to put on a show for kids. They want to teach things to kids. Bob wants to help kids, Larry wants to help Bob."
Most of these episodes act out stories and lessons from the Bible. Among the show's episodes are a nine-episode arc about the fruit of the Spirit, and stories focusing on LarryBoy and the League of Incredible Vegetables. According to Phil Vischer, the first season consists of 18 episodes in which he would write the first ten and Nawrocki would write the last eight. The series provided VeggieTales content through 2022.
Phil Vischer stated in a radio interview that no new characters will be created for this television program. In addition to series regulars, characters from VeggieTales spin-offs have appeared, including Callie Flower from VeggieTales in the House and Awful Alvin from Larryboy: The Cartoon Adventures. The VeggieTales Show brings back Mr. Nezzer, as the owner of the theater in which the show takes place, who has been absent from the previous two television shows.
When DreamWorks bought Classic Media and Big Idea Entertainment in 2012, all VeggieTales productions produced at Big Idea were to be controlled and overseen by DreamWorks. As a result, DreamWorks launched production of the Netflix original series VeggieTales in the House in late 2013 and announced that it would shut down production of the original VeggieTales direct-to-DVD series after the release of its 58th episode entitled VeggieTales: Noah's Ark in 2015. DreamWorks replaced the original creative crew that had been working at Big Idea Entertainment for nearly two decades with an entirely new team of nearly 75 artists led under the direction of Doug TenNapel. VeggieTales creators Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki were given no control over the creative content of VeggieTales in the House and were only allowed to provide the characters' voices. Since DreamWorks ordered 78 22-minute episodes for VeggieTales in the House in 2013, production of the last 13 episodes wrapped up in the summer of 2017 and DreamWorks' team left Big Idea Entertainment to work on new animated series for Netflix such as Trolls: The Beat Goes On! and Dragons: Rescue Riders. DreamWorks then sold Big Idea Entertainment's headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee once production concluded. While the last season of VeggieTales in the City premiered on Netflix in the fall of 2017, marketing employees continued to work for Big Idea Entertainment.
