VeggieTales is an American Christian computer generated musical children's animation and media franchise created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki under Big Idea Entertainment. The series sees fruit and vegetable characters retelling Christian stories from the Bible, with episodes presenting life lessons according to a biblical worldview. The franchise originated as a video series, with episodes distributed primarily direct to home media, first in 1993 on VHS, and later on DVD and Blu-ray through to 2015. The television series VeggieTales on TV! ran on NBC from 2006 to 2009, and two Netflix series debuted in 2014 and 2017. Two films were released: Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie and The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie. The success of the animations helped establish a franchise of related media, including music, stage productions, and video games.
