Posted by  ·  Be the first to comment

Now a firm favourite with children, parents and teachers, Phil Visher's creation of salad and vegetable characters first launched in 1993 with the movie ‘Where’s God When I’m Scared’.

Now on its way onto your TV screen, the latest Bible inspired movie, 'Robin Good And His Not So Merry Men' is the new addition to more than 45 faith based story and song DVD animations.

 

Bob and Larry - The Veggie Stars

Released while Pixar’s groundbreaking ‘Toy Story’ was still in the studio, Phil Vischer's revolutionary VeggieTales debut film was the pioneer of a new genre of full-length, computer-animated movies.

Starring the irrepressible Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber, over 19 years of Phil Vischer's stories and silly songs just about every item of fruit and vegetable have appeared to make VeggieTates the greatest story ever grown.

'God made you special' message

Originally for children aged 3 to 8, the popular series developed its content to reach older children and adults with its simple overall message that "God made you special, and He loves you very much!"

Expanding to meet the ever growing worldwide demand for wholesome, high quality family entertainment, the VeggieTales brand includes offerings in just about every printed and digital medium.

 

The Greatest Stories Ever Grown

In March 2012, Veggie Tales latest DVD 'Robin Good And His Not So Merry Men' releases with the tale of Robin Good and his mission to raise funds from the rich to give to the poor. But when donations fall, Robin's band of friends desert him and Robin Good turns to the bad in a story about handling grief.
