Season 2 of DreamWorks Emmy-nominated series VeggieTales in the House premieres on September 25 with 11 new episodes, exclusively on Netflix. Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber meet more lovable new characters including Tina Celerina, Callie Flower, Gary Garlic, Beau Rockely and Roonie the Olive Hound. The Veggies adopt a pet guppy, invent a secret flavor of ice cream, sing silly new songs, and superheroes LarryBoy and Junior JetPack join forces. We are delighted to present an exclusive sneak preview.
From VeggieTales® and What’s in the Bible? creator Phil Vischer, Galaxy Buck – Mission to Sector 9 is a wild, galactic adventure that teaches kids a powerful lesson about trusting God.
“‘Galaxy Buck’ is a new take on a classic space adventure where we send intrepid explorers to boldly go where no man has gone before but they are adventures about faith,” said Vischer. “The purpose of ‘Galaxy Buck’ is really to teach kids what walking with Jesus looks like. We deal with themes like ‘I want to do something big for God’ and ‘I want to change the world for God.’ We’re trying to teach kids that while God will ask us to do things for Him – some of them big – even more important than that is just walking with Him. This is where the fruit of the Spirit comes from. It doesn’t come from working for God but walking with God.”
“Galaxy Buck” follows the journey of Buck Denver, an employee of The Galactic Mission Board, which exists to send explorers to carry the love of God to every corner of the galaxy. When Buck and his friends find themselves in the midst of an unexpected and important mission, they learn valuable lessons about their purpose in God’s big plan.
The series will feature new and innovative filmmaking techniques from Vischer, whose “VeggieTales®”sold more than 50 million videos, and the team at Jellyfish Labs. With miniature sets hand-carved primarily by Vischer, “Galaxy Buck” will combine CGI animation, miniature sets and live-action for a visually rich experience for viewers. As with the entire “What’s in the Bible?” cast, Vischer will continue to write and voice each character in the series.
The “Galaxy Buck” series is produced by Vischer’s studio Jellyfish Labs in partnership with Creative Trust, which previously collaborated on the successful “What’s in the Bible?” series. The first “Galaxy Buck” film will debut via digital format on JellyTelly.com in October and be available on DVD through retail stores the same month in partnership with Capitol Christian Distribution.
