Anybody else like these christian
direct-to-video shows? 
How funny ā I was just about to make a thread on this
very topic. 
I do, indeed, love VeggieTales, and have been watching them
ever since I was a kid, from Whereās God When Iām S-Scared? to the some of the
most recent of videos.
I remember when my grandma got my sister and I the very first episode of
VeggieTales: We thought it was the weirdest, yet funniest, thing we had ever seen. We must have played
The Water Buffalo Song at least ten times on our first viewing. (snigger)
Iāve been a fan of Big Idea Productions ever since, even when the studio had to shut down from
bankruptcy. Iām a member of Phil Viscerās Jellyfish club/distribution and look
forward to each and every veggie video that he and his crewman shell out for us fans every year.
Here is
my tally:
Favorite show: [i]The Ballad of Little
Joe[/i]
Favorite character: Larry/Larryboy
[b]Favorite
silly song:[/b] āI Love My Lipsā
Funny stuff. The fact
that Iām a Christian adds to the fun, as I love how they portray their messages in a biblical, yet hilarious,
fashion. And I also must admit that I had a little bit of a crush on Larryboy when I was youngerā¦ 
Weāll believe it or notā¦ I just saw [i]Moe and the Big
Exit[/i], Big Ideaās latest production! (It came out today in christian stores everywhere) And the
good news for you, Mitch, is that itās a āsequelā to [i]The
Ballad of Little Joe[/i]! Liked it, but must admit that there quality has gone down a bit. (Ever
since Classic Media purchased Big Idea Inc.)
Favorite Show:
Larry Boy and the Rumour Weed
Favorite Character:
Junior Asparagus
Favorite āSilly Songā: [i]The Pirates who
donāt do anything[/i]
Yep, I think being a Christian (Iām Catholic) and having read the Bible
a little bit makes everything ten times funnier!
Oh, and they showed a trailer for [i]The
Pirates who donāt do anything:A Veggie Tales Movie[/i]. (Itās do out in theaters 2008) 
Yeah
Iām a big fan of Veggietales to. Yeah I got/saw Moe and the Big Exit today to. Itās not the best veggietales
yet but it was good. BTW: The Pirates who donāt do anything: A Veggie Tales Movie comes out Jan. 11, 2008.
I used to love these. I love the music, the story and the
lessons. Larryboy as the best.
Veggietales=The
Awesome. Period.
Iām sorry to say that I donāt like
VeggieTales. Never have.
No offence but,its kinda
kiddish.

[/b]- Yeah, I see your point! However, VeggieTales teach great values to kids everywhere. Their
animation is also increasingly better. And: it was the first Computer Animated
Series, I believe
Iāve never seen them so I cant really comment. I was a
little too old for them when I first heard about em. It looks amusing for kiddies. And that smiling tomato would
have made me laugh, iām sure.
Lightning and Sally : Although I donāt like Veggie-tales ( never really sat down and watched
it , besides , I donāt really have a religion , I just celebrate christmas and hannukah [ my stepdadās jewish ]
) I must say this for the fans of them ā¦
So , people think Pixar ( and ecspecially at the moment , Cars
) is kiddish . But do we care ? ā¦ no ! Because we love it ! Woohoo ! 
[b]glp
[/b]- Agreed!
I just
saw an episode of Larryboy last week. I thought it was okay, but I missed the 3D version of LarryBoy.
The Star Swordsman - Did you see the cartoon version? 'Cause my dad worked on
those. Iām not that crazy about them myself, especially considering that a different studio helped to produce
themā¦I believe.
But yeah ā 3-D Larryboy is much better (and cuter). 
My favorite
Larryboy episode was the Rumor Weed one.
Mitch - Your dad
worked on those?! Oh yeah, heās an animatorā¦right! So did he work for Big Idea or
some outsource animation company?
Anyway, Thatās pretty cool!
Backin you up
TSS! Rumour Weed rocks!
The Star Swordsman - Iāve
gotta agree with you on that ā Rumor Weed was the best.
Gasduude - Yep ā he worked for the studio (donāt remember which company)
that produced the Larryboy cartoon series. Iām not exactly sure whether or not he worked on all the episodes,
but I do know he did some storyboards on the Angry Eyebrows one ā he did the part
where Larryboy is attempting to get onto Evil Alvinās ship orā¦something. (snigger) And I remember that he had
to watch some of the VeggieTales cartoons (3-D) so that he could get a feel of the characters, and he chose to
watch Larryboy and the Fib from Outer Space. So I got to watch a VeggieTales video
back then and listen to dad laughing at the movie at the same time.
I enjoy the Rumor Weed song and the LarryBoy theme song
too.
Hey guys, look what I found:
Eheh ā itās Tim Hodgeās official
website! Seems pretty new actually, as though he just got it up (according to the little āWhatās New?ā
button in the left-hand corner of the front pageā¦).
For those of you who donāt know, Tim Hodge
currently works for the guys at Big Idea, and did the voice for everyoneās favorite
catepillar salesman, Khalil, in Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie.
After all these
years of watching VeggieTales, I just now found out that Mr. Hodge is a storyboard
artist! Who knew? Now Iāll have to ask a friend of my dadās if he knew Tim Hodge while working on
Mulanā¦
The one cool thing about having parents in the animation business
is that you get to know everybody in the universe. I havenāt met Tim Hodge yet, but
heyā¦ (snigger)
My cousins watch it but I can never bring myself to
watch it- that, and I never see it on. Also, Iām not big on religion. (donāt be hating!) ^^;
