This honestly warms my heart to hear this backstory, as to how Veggietales came about... Cause... Even before I became religious for Jesus Christ, I watched these shorts so much when I was a kid. I honestly wish I had seen this episode though first... Cause... I had a LOT of bad dreams when I was a kid, to where my mom brought me to doctors to try and help me over it. The nightmares ruled me so much when I was a kid, and eventually was unable to tell when I was asleep or awake, absolutely terrified one night because of it... God bless these people for such a wholesome and heartfelt mission like this, it's just heartbreaking to realize that it's been bought out by DreamWorks of all companies... Which... While they made "Joseph King of Dreams" and "Prince of Egypt"... They are absolutely awful with the stuff they push in front of kids... :( I wish they didn't end up losing their company...
YAS!!! Finally! Someone reuploaded this bts video! Ever since YT took it down I was ticked off, ever since I discovered it I watched it over and over and over again. It's such an inspiring story of how Phil built the VeggieTales empire from the ground up.
Don't get me wrong I am not a VeggieTales hater but why on earth would a theme park named after the video series be built? Do you know how long it would take to build the theme park?
Phil Vischer stated in his autobiography that there were plans for a VeggieTales theme park, but Big Idea’s financial problems and eventual bankruptcy caused the plans to crash and burn
32:07 32:20 Like seeing the videos of where’s god when I’m scared followed by all the other 90’s episodes on video (mainly like the video versions of them when they were re-released by Lyrick studios and I mostly still like them on DVD from their first released DVDs). Also out of all of them, my favourites are where’s god when I’m scared, god wants me to forgive them, are you my neighbour, rack shack & Benny, Dave and the giant pickle, the toy that saved Christmas, very silly songs (on the complete silly song collection), Larryboy and the fib from outer space, Josh and the big wall, Madame blueberry, the end of silliness (on the complete silly song collection), Larryboy and the rumour weed, king George and the ducky, Esther the girl who became queen, Lyle the kindly Viking, the ultimate silly song countdown (on the complete silly song collection), Jonah a Veggietales movie, the star of Christmas, the wonderful world of auto-tainment, the ballad of little Joe, an Easter carol, a snoodle’s tale, sumo of the opera, Bob and Larry’s how to draw (randomly counted in), veg-o-Rama jukebox (due to having the three song episodes on the complete silly song collection), Duke and the great pie war, Minnesota Cuke and the search for Samson’s hairbrush, lord of the beans, Sheerluck Holmes and the golden ruler, Larryboy and the bad apple, Gideon tuba warrior, Moe and the big exit, god made you special, the pirates who don’t do anything, Saint Nicholas, twas the night before Easter, princess and the popstar, the penniless princess, the league of incredible vegetables and the little house that stood.
Phil was talking about this commercial in particular. (Sunbeam Express Meals) (1988) RU-vid Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sgznPxXkaic.htmlsi=JW0cbKYi4rQHtrEw That's what inspired Phil Vischer to create VeggieTales due to the commercial's 3D computer animation and its use of lattice deformation technique (i.e., squash and stretch) on the salt and pepper shakers like it came from the Warner Bros. cartoons from 1930s-1950s.
