About VeggieTales

VeggieTales is a kids' video series that teaches timeless values like honesty, kindness, and forgiveness in a delightfully wacky way! Hosted by Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber, each video in the series teaches a life lesson -- without ever being preachy. These hilarious stories feature top-quality computer animation, infectious songs, and lovable characters.

In a world full of kids shows that teach your kids to be better toy buyers or kick boxers, VeggieTales is a show that helps teach your kids to be better kids. This unique blend of Sunday morning values and Saturday morning fun has made VeggieTales one of the most popular kids video series in America.

VeggieTales is created, written, and produced by Big Idea Productions. In an age of media mega-mergers, Big Idea is a small, independent, family entertainment company based in the Midwest. We hope to help parents everywhere by building a company filled with storytellers and artists who are committed to using their gifts and talents to teach kids timeless values like honesty, kindness and forgiveness.

Big Idea's mission is to positively impact the moral and spiritual fabric of our society through creative media. We believe that the media our kids consume (TV, film, music, video games) has a strong influence on what they believe and how they behave. Sadly, many programming choices have had a negative impact on our culture. We're committed to making movies, videos, books, games -- and yes, Web sites -- that have a positive impact.

At the heart of each VeggieTales video is a nugget of truth that is rooted in the Bible. These include such timeless values as honesty, thankfulness, kindness and forgiveness. But these videos aren't preachy. In fact, they've been called "clever, quirky," and "deliciously silly" by journalists.

At the heart of VeggieTales is this one-of-a-kind mix of wacky humor and gentle reminders to kids -- and parents -- that God made them special and loves them very much. "Sunday morning values, Saturday morning fun" ... we think that's a big idea!
