“It’s an exciting time at Big Idea and we are thrilled to be kicking-off VeggieTales 15th Anniversary celebration at this year’s Licensing Show,” said Greg Fritz, SVP Marketing Big Idea. “Our expanded licensing and merchandising program provides us with a wonderful opportunity to bring the unique VeggieTales brand of humor, Silly Songs and life lessons to an even wider audience.”

Where’s God When I’m S-Scared? DVD Release
On September 23, Big Idea and Word Entertainment will release a special 15th Anniversary DVD of VeggieTales’ first-ever animated video title, “Where’s God When I’m S-Scared?” The DVD features two delightfully wacky adventures that help kids learn valuable lessons about handling their fears. In "Tales from the Crisper," Junior Asparagus watches a movie that's a little too scary for him and Bob and Larry arrive to sing a rollicking song teaching that God is bigger than anything he might be afraid of. The second story, "Daniel and the Lion's Den" stars Larry the Cucumber, playing the role of Daniel in ancient Babylon, who finds himself in deep trouble thanks to the King's conniving wiremen scallions. In the end, he learns that even in the lion's den, he's still in God's hands.

“God Made You Special” Live Tour
Bob, Larry and the VeggieTales crew are hitting the road again! The all-new “God Made You Special” Live Tour kicks-off this fall. The 10 week tour travels to more than 40 cities throughout the US and Canada from September—November.

Publishing
