VEGGIETALES

'''VeggieTales''' is a series of children's computer animated films featuring humorous, anthropomorphic vegetables and conveying moral themes compatible with and often based on Christianity and Judaism. ''VeggieTales'' was co-created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki and is produced by Big Idea Productions. ''VeggieTales'' has also been released as books, movies, and many other branded items such as toys and clothing. Additionally, the series has been adapted for television broadcast and also is shown in English language format.

History

The first ''VeggieTales'' video was released in 1993, and was the U.S.'s first completely computer animated video widely distributed in VHS format.^[1] Since then, the ''VeggieTales'' videos have sold well over 50 million copies. In addition to the videos, there are also books, games, and toys. Big Idea went bankrupt in 2003 after they released ''. The company was bought out of bankruptcy by Classic Media, L.L.C. in 2003 and was moved to Franklin, Tennessee in 2004. In January 2007 Big Idea, Inc. was purchased by Entertainment Rights PLC when ER acquired Classic Media LLC.
Most ''VeggieTales'' videos follow a set pattern. The presenters (Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber) set up a moral situation, often arising from a letter from a viewer at home. There is then a discussion among several of the main characters as to how this is best answered. Inevitably, they get to the point where they "roll the video". There is usually an intermission for a "Silly Song with Larry", and at the end the presenters return to wrap up the moral lesson with an applicable "memory verse" as delivered from QWERTY, the computer. Generally, Bob is the straight man to Larry's sillier character. Larry usually gets the best of the sometimes overly serious Bob.
The internal stories themselves are often based on biblical, literary, or popular stories, sometimes transferred to a different setting (for example, ''Madame Blueberry'' draws inspiration from ''Madame Bovary''; ''Sumo of the Opera'' teaches about perseverance by retelling ''Rocky'' mixed with ''The Karate Kid'' and ''The Mikado''; and ''Dave and the Giant Pickle'' retells the story of King David's encounter with the Philistine Goliath in First Samuel.)
''VeggieTales'' often replaces content in the source material that the producers deem inappropriate for children (such as violence and sexuality) with something innocuous. For example, in ''King George and the Ducky'', a retelling of the story of David and Bathsheba, the object of the king's desire is not a woman but a rubber duck, and rather than setting up the original owner of the duck to be killed in battle, the king sends him to a food fight where he acquires a temporarily incapacitating case of post-traumatic stress disorder. Likewise in ''The Ballad of Little Joe'', a retelling of the story of Joseph, Potiphar's wife tries persuade Joe to steal a bag of gold, rather than attempting to seduce him as in the biblical account.

Videos and theatrical films

Big Idea has released 33 ''VeggieTales'' episodes to date. Of these, three are Silly Song collections, three are holiday specials, and one a drawing tutorial. The remaining episodes generally follow the standard format where a moral issue is posited in the opening countertop sequence followed by one or more "films" that address the issue. In addition to these episodes, there are five compilations that combine previously released material, and one feature length movie.

VeggieTales Live

'', scheduled for release on January 11, 2008.]]
''VeggieTales Live'' is a series of stage shows based on the VeggieTales videos.
Over the years there have been about 5 different versions of the shows. Some versions of the show have toured across the U.S. and other have been made for theme parks like Dollywood and Silver Dollar City.

TV airings

Veggietales episodes and the movie have aired on different stations. Below lists the places it has aired:

★ PAX TV aired the VeggieTales Christmas Spectacular which was The Toy That Saved Christmas, along with an extra "hosting" portion where Bob and Larry and trying to find the tape of the show. The entire PAX TV special is on the Holiday Double Feature DVD and The Toy That Saved Christmas DVD.

★ PBS aired The Star of Christmas along with Barney's Christmas Special and Arthur's Perfect Christmas. The show was uncut.

★ TBN has aired Jonah: A VeggieTales movie on TBN, and it is on the promotional commercial for Smile of a Child. TBN has also aired The Veggietales Christmas Spectacular and The Star of Christmas.

★ qubo In September 2006, ''VeggieTales'' and its companion programs, ''3-2-1 Penguins!'' and ''Larry-Boy'', ^[4] made their broadcast television debut as part of the new educational block for children, 'qubo', which is on NBC, ION Media Networks and Telemundo.

TV Format

The "VeggieTales" TV series follows a similar format to the videos. The show opens with Bob greeting the kids and inviting them over to his house. Then he, Larry, and other veggies (Archibald Asparagus, Junior Asparagus, Mr. Lunt, Pa Grape, and Jimmy Gourd) sing the show's theme song as they hop to Bob's front door. At the end of the theme song Pa Grape makes a comment about Archibald's new sweater. (There's a different comment in each episode.)
The show opens to Bob's living room where Bob says "Hi Kids! Welcome to VeggieTales!". Followed by Larry saying "On TV!" The two wait for the mailman, Jimmy Gourd, to deliver their letter. When Jimmy comes, he happily sings his Mail Song, which Bob and Larry both find tedious. Then instead of handing the letter the Bob and Larry, he insists on cramming it through the mail slot.
Bob and Larry read their letter and try to decide how to solve the viewer's problem. One of their neighbors comes in and attempts to solve it. One of three things happen. Archibald will read a story from his Big Book of Oddities (which he got from Oprah's Book Club), Pa Grape will show an old film, or Mr. Lunt will appear as Paco the Storytelling Mule (a stick puppet) and tell a story. The result always proves disastrous, as the story or film makes no sense. Bob intervenes with a story from a VeggieTales episode to solve the problem. (Some episodes include Silly Songs with Larry). Afterwards Bob and Larry wrap things up by reiterating the story's lesson and thanking the kids for coming to his house.
In some episodes the format is slightly altered. In the Sheerluck Holmes episode Bob had to speed things up since the show would run long, causing him to interrupt Jimmy's Mail Song. There was also no neighbor interference.
=== "qubo" controversy ===
The ''VeggieTales'' episodes have been edited for broadcast to remove all references to God at the request of NBC's standards and practices department. (Although, for some reason, the religious references have remained intact in the closed-captions accompanying each episode.) The removal of specific religious references has drawn criticism from the Christian conservative watchdog group Parents Television Council, which has blasted NBC for the edited ''VeggieTales'' episodes. ''VeggieTales'' creator Phil Vischer has also expressed discontent with the edits, stating that he was not informed that religious content would be removed from the series until after the qubo deal was finalized, and he would have refused to sign the contract if he had known of this beforehand. "I would have declined partly because I knew a lot of fans would feel like it was a sellout or it was done for money," he explains. Still, Vischer adds that he understands NBC's wish to remain religiously neutral, commenting, "''VeggieTales'' is religious, NBC is not. I want to focus people more on 'Isn't it cool that Bob and Larry are on television.'"^[5] Due to numerous parent complaints, however, NBC finally relented and decided to stop cutting all references of God out. So when the second batch of episodes were sent to the network (starting with ''King George and the Ducky''), all biblical references were left intact.

Continuing Characters

''VeggieTales'' has a continuous back story that all of the cartoons are actually teleplays, performed by various vegetables and fruit that live together on the same kitchen countertop. Some of these characters have "real names", and take on various roles in the teleplays, although they will also frequently appear as themselves. Most of these "regulars" were established in the very earliest videos.

Bob the Tomato

★ 'Bob the Tomato': Host of "VeggieTales" and the straight man of the comedy troupe. Bob usually appears as the narrator or as himself, although he occasionally plays a role in the teleplays. His lead role as "Cavis Appythart" in ''The Star of Christmas'' and ''An Easter Carol'' has been his largest part to date. Bob is voiced by ''VeggieTales'' founder Phil Vischer, who sees Bob as his alter-ego.

★ 'Larry the Cucumber': Co-host of "VeggieTales" and the comedy star of the series. Larry is often cast as the lead in the teleplays. His superhero alter ego, Larry-Boy, has a spin-off cartoon series called ''LarryBoy - The Cartoon Adventures''. Larry is the regular star of a "show within the show", "Silly Songs with Larry". Larry is voiced by Mike Nawrocki.

★ 'Archibald Asparagus': A very British stuffed shirt, who is constantly trying to bring "high culture" to the otherwise lowbrow humour that ''VeggieTales'' represents. He somewhat grudgingly plays the title role in the cinematic release ''. Patterned after the Monty Python's Flying Circus character "The Colonel" (a stuffy army officer played by Graham Chapman who occasionally appeared out of nowhere to order the end of a sketch), Archibald often takes Larry to task for being too silly, especially in the early videos. On the video ''Lyle the Kindly Viking'', Archibald is given the opportunity the host the show, but much to his chagrin, the show devolves into sophomoric parodies of Shakespeare and Gilbert and Sullivan. However his constant pleas for culture seem to be rubbing off on the rest of the gang, resulting in some very "respectable" videos such as ''The Star of Christmas'' and ''An Easter Carol'', an adaptation of the Charles Dickens' classic, ''A Christmas Carol''. Archibald is also voiced by Vischer.

★ 'Junior Asparagus': Five-year-old Junior Asparagus is one of the most active co-stars of the ''VeggieTales'' series. Junior is a typical playful child, but also is wise beyond his years. Junior takes the lead role in several videos, including ''Where's God When I'm S-Scared?'', ''Dave and the Giant Pickle'', and ''Lyle the Kindly Viking''. Junior has a loving relationship with his parents, who also appear in several of the videos. Junior is voiced by Lisa Vischer, wife of Phil Vischer.

★ 'Laura Jay Carrot': Junior Asparagus' best friend. She has two younger siblings, Lenny Carrot and Baby Lou. She can be whiny at times, but when her friends are in trouble, she tries to do all that she can. She used to be voiced by Kristin Blegen but is now portrayed by Jackie Ritz.

★ 'Percy Pea': One of Junior's friends, and is a bit odd. He also appears coming out of Movie Premiers with his little brother in Larry Boy.

★ 'Jimmy and Jerry Gourd': A secondary comic duo. While Bob and Larry can be considered animated versions of Abbott and Costello, Jimmy (orange gourd) and Jerry (yellow gourd) might more closely resemble Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. Both appeared together in ''Are You My Neighbor?'' (their debut); Jimmy is a member of the boy band Boyz in the Sink (''The Ballad of Little Joe''). Jimmy and Jerry are played by Vischer and Nawrocki respectively.

★ 'Madame Blueberry': A French-accented berry, and a spoof of Madame Bovary or possibly Madame Du Barry, who plays roles that generally reflect an aberration who doesn't have any kind of Christian morals (such as greed or jealousy). Often she possesses a hidden agenda of some sort. Her first appearance was in the title role of Madame Blueberry herself, though in subsequent appearances played other roles (Miss Kitty in ''The Ballad of Little Joe'', Miss Pickering in ''The Star of Christmas'', and Nona in ''Duke And The Great Pie War''. She is often portrayed by Jackie Ritz, although there have been a variety of actors who have voiced her character.

★ 'Nebby K. Nezzer': A large zucchini with a southern accent. His name is a play on the name of the ancient Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar. Mr. Nezzer is often cast as the antagonist (for example, his debut as the evil chocolate maker in ''Rack, Shack, and Benny'', the greedy Viking chief Olaf in ''Lyle the Kindly Viking''), but always learns a lesson at the end. He has, though, played protagonists, such as the Wizard Randalf in ''Lord of the Beans''. A variation on his character is Wally P. Nezzer, the evil toymaker in ''The Toy that Saved Christmas'', who was said to be Nebby K's brother. Wally P. Nezzer is distinguished from Nebby K. by his larger nose, and appears only in ''The Toy that Saved Christmas''. He is voiced by Vischer.

★ 'Mr. Lunt': A decorative gourd who grew up in New Jersey and speaks with a Mexican-Spanish accent. He often appears as Mr. Nezzer's assistant, and they debuted together in ''Rack, Shack, and Benny''. Mr. Lunt also frequently appears as part of "The Pirates who Don't Do Anything", and even once got his own Silly Song ("His Cheeseburger") and starred in another ("Belly Button"). Mr. Lunt is voiced by Vischer.

★ 'The French Peas': Spoofs of the taunting French soldiers from ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail''. Their first appearance is in ''Dave and the Giant Pickle'', taunting the Israelite army in order to get them to send a champion to fight "Golliath" the pickle. The main two peas are Jean Claude and Phillippe (voiced by Nawrocki and Vischer, respectively), who narrate The tale of ''Madame Blueberry''. The other French peas fill in as Joe's brothers in ''The Ballad of Little Joe'', and as extras in many other episodes. Most of their roles require them to play negative or mischievous characters. All the peas are voiced by Vischer and Nawrocki (with the exception of Christofee Pea, who is voiced by Chris Olsen). In "Gideon: Tuba Warrior" (2006) the peas author the silly song featured as "Ukulele Karaoke with Bob."

★ 'Pa Grape': Appearing initially as a country yokel, Pa has evolved into a wise patriarchal character. A messianic Jewish character, he has espoused Christmas and faith in Jesus, though he sometimes sports a Yiddish accent, even once exclaiming "oy, vey"! His wife, Ma, and two teenage children Tom and Rosie appeared along with him in their debut, ''God Wants Me To Forgive Them!?!'' Tom has appeared only twice since then and Rosie hasn't appeared at all, though Pa himself appears quite often, frequently as one of The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. To date, Ma has only resurfaced in thirteen years after her debut in Moe and the Big Exit. He is voiced by Phil Vischer.

★ 'Petunia Rhubarb': A rhubarb who first appeared in ''Duke and the Great Pie War''. She later appeared in ''Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson's Hairbrush'', ''LarryBoy and the Bad Apple'', and ''Moe and the Big Exit''. She is often cast as the role of Larry's love interest. She is voiced by Cydney Trent.

★ 'QWERTY': A living computer that delivers memory verses from the Bible. Named after the first six letters of standard keyboards.

★ 'The Scallions': A trio of scallions who appear in supporting roles and who have never been given names (as pointed out in the Silly Song "Larry's High Silk Hat" from ''Lyle the Kindly Viking''). They are voiced by Phil Vischer, Mike Nawrocki, and at one time Mike Sage.
