For over two decades, LarryBoy, the cucumber-turned-superhero with plungers on his head, has been a beloved figure in Christian family entertainment. Now, Big Idea and Kingstone Studios are teaming up to bring his first standalone theatrical adventure to life in 2026. If your kids have ever belted out a VeggieTales silly song or quoted Larry’s “I am that hero!” catchphrase, this news is worth celebrating. Let’s unpack what we know about the LarryBoy movie, its release plans, and how your family can prepare for its release!
The upcoming LarryBoy movie marks the third feature-length film in the VeggieTales universe, following 2002’s Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie and 2008’s The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything. While plot details are still under wraps, the film’s original working title, LarryBoy Begins, hints at an origin story for Bumblyburg’s caped crusader. According to Big Idea’s Leslie Ferrell, the movie will deliver the same “faith-friendly storytelling, zany humor, and catchy silly songs” that made VeggieTales a household name.
The LarryBoy movie release date is currently slated for 2026, though production updates have been sparse since the initial 2023 announcement. Delays aren’t uncommon in animation, the original Jonah movie took three years to complete, so families might need to practice patience. Rest assured, we’ll update this space as news breaks. In the meantime, introduce your kids to LarryBoy’s earlier adventures by watching the classic LarryBoy and the Fib from Outer Space! on Yippee.tv.
Since 1993, VeggieTales has used humor and heart to teach biblical lessons to over 75 million viewers. The new VeggieTales movie continues this legacy, offering a rare blend of clean entertainment and Christian values in a theatrical format. As Kingstone Studios CEO Art Ayris notes, “VeggieTales is the absolute gold standard for faith-based children’s animation.” While the film’s exact script remains secret, parents can expect themes like courage, honesty, and relying on God, core values explained in our VeggieTales character guide for Larry the Cucumber.
