release it because it is technically owned by Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation. It will hopefully be produced in the near future." According to Vischer, the film would have begun with a brief synopsis of how talking vegetables were involved in world history, which would be described as a "rare, but recurring phenomenon". One example would have shown tomb paintings of a pharaoh consulting with a leek. Bob the Tomato would be working in local TV news hosting a segment called "Farm Report", while Larry the Cucumber would work as a tester at a chicken hat factory (on account of the fact that his head was chicken-sized). Bob would make a report on the factory, and first meet Larry through several antics involving the chicken hats. Bob the Tomato would also be renting an apartment in a nightstand of a human boy named Dexter. Untitled VeggieTales film (TBA): At the National Religious Broadcast 2019 Convention in California, Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki announced Vischer and Universal Pictures are developing a new VeggieTales movie. DreamWorks Animation will have no known involvement in the movie. Vischer confirmed that the film will not be The Bob and Larry Movie, but will be similar to Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, centered around a Bible story. In early 2019, Universal Studios committed to funding the development of a script and will later decide whether or not to produce the film based on the script. Vischer then devoted a year and a half to writing the screenplay. On July 8, 2020, Vischer announced on the Holy Post Podcast that he had completed and turned in the first draft of the screenplay a few weeks prior. He was given notes and was given the go ahead to revise and write a second draft before the official pitch to studio executives. On December 29, 2020, Phil Vischer announced on his monthly Patreon live stream for his Podcast that he had completed the final draft of the screenplay and Universal Studios was currently in talks with a co-production partner for the film.
