There have been two spin-off series: Larry Boy and Penguins 3-2-1, and this summer about a million kids will attend VeggieTales church camps, where they will learn about Jonah and the whale. This should prime them nicely for Jonah: a VeggieTales Movie, which is slated to hit more than a thousand movie screens in the fall.
