The first VeggieTales video was released in 1993 by Big Idea Productions, and was the U.S.’s first completely computer animated video. Since then, the VeggieTales videos have sold well over 35 million copies. In addition to the videos, there are also books, games, and the ubiquitous plush toys which accompany nearly anything beloved by children.
Reportedly, the characters are vegetables because of the limitations of early computer animation technology; it would have been difficult and expensive to give them arms and legs. (However, they are usually able to hold objects as if they had hands and they typically “walk” by bouncing.) The lack of appendages is sometimes made into an internal joke. Later videos do not share this limitation: for instance, one of the supporting characters in Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie is a many-legged caterpillar.
Many great Bible board games such as Don’t Sink the Ship, Jonah, the Overboard Adventure Game and Seek and Match board game are availiable online.
