    Super cool tour! I'd honestly would have loved to see "The Bob and Larry Movie" become a reality. But, sadly it is what it is, especially with "VeggieTales in the House" and "in the City" around. I wished that Big Idea Productions was still like this today. Don't you?

    "Are we bouncing higher or lower than Shrek?"

    Considering this was just before they went bankrupt, and considering Jonah's box office results, I'm willing to bet it was lower.

      And if that wasn't enough they and the original crew were all kicked out for the recent podcast. Although aside from social media it seems like the series has been dormant lately, so hopefully they'll let the series rest instead of letting it continue and potentially derail itself even further from the original vision. Either that or get a new passionate team for a new take with new characters (sorta like what Muppets Tonight tried) although as this point it would be better to simply let it be (after all 3-2-1 Penguins knew when to end).
