Hey everyone! Big news for VeggieTales fans—especially those who love our favorite suction cup-eared superhero, LarryBoy! I heard that Big Idea Content Group announced a brand-new LARRYBOY theatrical movie coming soon! And according to IMDBPro, the title of the new movie is LarryBoy Begins. That’s right, It looks like LarryBoy is finally making his big-screen debut!

“VeggieTales has always been the gold standard for faith-based kids’ animation,” says Art Ayris. “And there’s no better way to bring that magic to theaters than putting LarryBoy and all those classic VeggieTales characters front and center again.”

The VeggieTales franchise is the most successful faith-based children’s series ever, with over $1.7 billion in retail sales. And Big Idea has already released two theatrical films—Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie back in 2002 and The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything in 2008—earning over $39 million at the box office combined. This new LarryBoy Begins film will continue that legacy with the faith-friendly storytelling, wacky humor, and silly songs fans have come to love.

The cast features familiar voices, including Mike Nawrocki as Larryboy, Kirk Cameron as the Barber, and many others voices returning to bring new and old characters to life.

“LarryBoy is a fan favorite and who doesn’t love a superhero with plungers on the side of his head?” says Leslie Ferrell, SVP at Big Idea. “Fans have been asking for more, and now they’re finally going to get it. We’re excited to bring a movie the whole family can enjoy.”

While the plot is still under wraps, Producer Dan Merrell is leading the charge with a team of talented writers, ready to give LarryBoy his first big-screen adventure.

“I’ve loved LarryBoy for decades,” says Merrell. “I can’t wait for longtime fans and new audiences alike to experience a fresh VeggieTales film that honors the classics while delivering some fun surprises.”

🎙️ I am looking forward to seeing LarryBoy to swing into theaters in LarryBoy Begins, plungers and all! So Veggietales fans, be on the lookout for updates and a theatrical release date.
