The enormously popular Veggie Tales series of shows and movies about computeranimated garden vegetables that learn about Bible stories and Sundayschool lessons also spawned a series of albums, ranging from Veggie Tales: Veggie Tunes to Veggie Tales: On the Road with Bob Larry. Part of a family media company called Big Idea, Veggie Tales was the brainchild of Phil Vischer, who wanted to create family entertainment with a set of strong moral values. He began Big Idea and Veggie Tales in 1993, working with friends and artschool grads until the first Veggie Tales episode, Where's God When I'm SScared?, was completed just before Christmas that year. By 1995, 130,000 Veggie Tales videos were sold; a year later, over 750,000 had been purchased. By 2001, more than 20 million copies of Veggie Tales videos had been sold. The Veggie Tales albums earned similar success.
