The entire VeggieTales cast, as well as new characters, will be joining the daily adventures as well. “Bob and Larry are excited to be showing their house to everyone at your house,” said Leslie Ferrell, president of VeggieTales. “They are rolling out the red carpet to welcome familes everywhere to their new neighborhood filled with silliness, fun and faith.” VeggieTales in the House will be joined by shows based on existing DreamWorks properties, including Puss in Boots and King Julien. Netflix’s first original series for kids, Turbo FAST, launched Christmas 2013. “We are having a ton of fun creating this new content for Netflix,” said Margie Cohn, head of television at DreamWorks Animation. “There is so much richness to be found within each show world and a wealth of comic opportunity to entertain fans of DreamWorks in new and surprising ways.” “I am pretty sure this is the
first time the word ‘beloved’ has been applied to a cat, a lemur, vegetables
and snails in the same sentence, but DreamWorks Animation has an incredible
knack for creating characters that kids around the world adore,” said Cindy
Holland, Netflix vice president of original content. “We’re very excited to
launch the new episodes of Turbo FAST in the coming weeks and the three new
series by the end of the year.” |
