VeggieTales in the House is a fun computer-animated TV show for kids. It was made by Big Idea Entertainment and animated by Bardel Entertainment. This series is a spin-off from the popular VeggieTales videos and films. It features many of your favorite talking vegetables!
The show first came out on Netflix on November 26, 2014. It ran for about three years, ending in 2016. After that, a new show called VeggieTales in the City was released in 2017.
The original creators of VeggieTales, Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki, lent their voices to the characters. Phil Vischer voiced Bob the Tomato, Archibald Asparagus, and others. Mike Nawrocki voiced Larry the Cucumber and Jerry Gourd. Other talented voice actors like Tress MacNeille and Rob Paulsen also joined the cast.
