The VeggieTales Show

**The VeggieTales Show** is a revival series of the original VeggieTales, produced by Universal and TBN (*through their animation division Trilogy Animation Group*). The series most notably brought back many original crew members including Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki, along with bringing back the original designs of the characters after they were redesigned for VeggieTales in the House and VeggieTales in the City. The series debuted on iTunes on October 15th, 2019, and on DVD on October 22nd, 2019 with the Christmas special, *The Best Christmas Gift. It later premiered on TBN on December 25, 2019.* Yippee TV became the exclusive streaming service of the series two months later, premiering episodes monthly starting in February 2020.

The show focuses on Bob, Larry, and their friends leaving the kitchen countertop and producing shows in Mr. Nezzer's live theater for an actual audience.

The show also focuses on Jimmy, Wubbzy, Timmy, and their Nick Jr. friends leaving their shows and producing shows with the veggies in Mr. Nezzer's live theater for an actual audience.

## Fun Facts

* The original VeggieTales designs and models have been revived for this series, with a couple of visual differences:
	+ Mouth animations are now built into character models, can open wider, and are also able to close completely.
	+ Some characters, including Larry, have different textures.
	+ Mr. Lunt no longer has his golden tooth from the original series. Instead, he's got a full set of normal teeth like he did in *VeggieTales in the House* and *City*.
	+ Most of the time, the characters' lower eyelids are a bit higher up than usual.
* This is the final series that Phil Vischer, Mike Nawrocki, Lisa Vischer, and Kurt Heinecke will have any involvement in, as Phil confirmed that all four of them were laid off after requesting more involvement, and the former three's characters will be recast.
* Because of the e-mails by the VeggieTales customer support, the series might have been originally planned to be released sometime earlier than 2019.
* The show was originally being animated by Prana Studios, who also worked on *Planes: Fire & Rescue* and multiple other projects, before moving to 88 Pictures when Prana went out of business.
* Some episodes will take place outside of the theater, according to Phil Vischer, including Larry-Boy episodes.
* The series will go more in-depth with the Gospel and the New Testament, with more obscure Bible stories.
* Some episodes will have Silly Songs, but due to the 23-minute running time of the episodes, others will not and will have different shorter segments instead.
* Oscar and Bruce Onion are the only characters in the show to appear without speaking roles.
* The characters from the Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. shows *The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius*, *Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!*, *The Fairly OddParents*, and *Dora the Explorer* to appear in the show with the veggies and work at Big Idea.
* The 7 original voice actors from *Dora the Explorer* are making a reprise their roles as the voices of Dora, Boots, Backpack, Benny, Isa, Tico, and Baby Jaguar for this show, while Jake T. Austin reprised his role as Diego Márquez instead of Gabriel Alvarez and Andres and Felipe Dieppa.
