VeggieTales

VeggieTales is an American computer-animated children's series featuring anthropomorphic vegetables who retell Bible stories and teach moral lessons.

Created in 1993, the show became a cultural touchstone for evangelical Christian families, known for its humor and musical numbers.

Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber are the main characters.

The name has become shorthand for wholesome Christian children's entertainment: I grew up on VeggieTales.
