A Creator Creates Again

When Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki conceived of VeggieTales, it was a fairly radical departure for children’s animation. Talking and singing vegetables telling updated Bible stories? We all know kids don’t like to eat vegetables, but will they enjoy watching them singing silly songs (”Where is My Hairbrush?”) and answering viewer letters?

Kids loved it. Adults loved it. In fact, it’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t enjoy the silly humor and pop culture references strewn throughout the videos, which have sold millions of copies.

Despite financial and infrastructure problems of the original company Big Idea, VeggieTales remains as popular as ever, but without Vischer at the helm.

What’s so admirable is that he’s started over again creatively.

Phil is great and the jellytelly stuff is really fun. I hope he gets it to a wider outlet, most people just dont know it exists.

Smart guy.  intriguing concept.  We’ll see if he can make it work.  smile  (Those statistics that he recounts on the Intro always stagger me and I just have to wonder…!)

In Christ,
