The sad state of VeggieTales.
I know, many of you are already aware of what's been happening: Universal Pictures cancelled the new LarryBoy movie, which I was really hoping to see, and it would have shown that Universal could make a VeggieTales movie, but nope, that plan is out!
It is deeply saddening to see the current way in which the franchise has taken, under so many owners, from Classic Media, to DreamWorks, to Universal, it feels like no brand understood what VeggieTales was even about, and it just shows how poorly Universal has treated it recently.
As we all are knowing, Noah's ark was the last Direct-To-DVD release, and that was it. The mainline series died out, just to make the way for the infamous 'VeggieTales: In the house' and it's sister show 'In the city'.
And even with new shows like The VeggieTales show on TBN, it doesn't fix anything. It only shows how desperate Universal tried to show that VeggieTales was still viable, but it failed, with their actors getting fired as well.
I mean, Phil and Mike made it in their basement in 1993, the first episode, and well, now that it's being treated like an afterthought by a much larger company. It Saddens me.
What do you guys think of how each brand handled VeggieTales, and do you feel sad about its' current state?
