Pirate Cucumbers

Here's the trailer that came out awhile back for the next VeggieTales movie, the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. The official website is cute but there's not a whole lot there yet.

The next VeggieTales video (episode 33), coming out in October, is titled the Wonderful Wizard of Ha's. It's written by Phil Vischer, whose creations are the best material by far in the Veggie-verse. When Phil Vischer does the writing/directing, VeggieTales can powerfully communicate the truth of about God for children (as seen in his masterpiece, A Snoodle's Tale). When Vischer is not involved creatively, which is not always the case anymore, the veggies seem somehow less deep or perhaps less inspired.

If an occasional Veggie-video isn't enough for you, you can read Phil Vischer's books, blog, or his new day job, Jellyfish Labs. We can also hope that the new company that bought the company that bought Big Idea and VeggieTales will pick up some of the projects that were dropped when Big Idea was sold off (I'm a fan of 3-2-1 Penguins!).
