VeggieTales

VeggieTales is an American series of English language children's computer animated films featuring anthropomorphic vegetables. Developed by Big Idea, the films convey moral themes based on Christianity, often compatible with Judaism, spliced with satirical references to pop culture and current events. VeggieTales was created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki, who also provide many of the voices. Originally released in direct-to-video format, the series debuted in December 1993 and started being released on tape, then onto dvd, and during that time, from Saturday September 9, 2006 to September 11, 2009, they made a show of it on television, where they would choose 2 episodes and put a new theme, beginning and end, and that would be the show. It was shown on Qubo which is on the NBC network, but then Qubo made it's own channel. As of 2009, the TV Show is also shown on Gospel Music Channel. On September 11, 2009, the show was removed from the Qubo lineup. The series was still being released on dvd throughout the whole time, but they stopped with the VHS Tapes on November 15, 2005. VeggieTales has also been released as books, music CDs and branded items such as toys, clothing and seeds for vegetables and flowers. The main characters' names are Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber.
