NASHVILLE, Tenn. and NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Families craving more adventures of Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber, Junior Asparagus, and the rest of the gang will soon get their fill as a fresh-picked batch of VeggieTales® episodes heads to Minno.

“We love shows like VeggieTales® that are fun, faithful, and can be shared with the whole family.” – Erick Goss, Minno

A kids’ media and tech company dedicated to helping families experience Jesus every day, Minno has teamed with VeggieTales® to bring the additional content to its streaming audience. Release dates are as follows:

January 25, 2022: VeggieTales ® episodes new to Minno

  • 11 episodes focused on the Fruit of the Spirit added to Minno’s 50+ episode catalogue. Titles include: “God Wants Us To Make Peace,” “A Lifetime Supply of Joy,” “The Power of Love,” “Patience Takes Practice,” and “Being Gentle Makes You Great.”
  • Themed playlists of Minno’s entire VeggieTales® catalogue centered on “Girl Power,” “Bible Stories,” “Storybook Classics,” and “Action Stories”.

February 1, 2022: Minno’s “Silly Songs MixTape!”

  • Only available for Minno members – “Minno’s MixTape,” which is comprised of 31 individual VeggieTales® Silly Songs.

  • Additional episodes released regularly.

“We are excited to bring these additional VeggieTales® episodes to our Minno Members and help families discover new VeggieTales®,” says Erick Goss, CEO and co-founder of Minno. “Christian families are challenged when looking for media options that reflect their faith and values. They have unlimited options but very few good choices. We created Minno to change that. We love featuring shows like VeggieTales® that reflect storytelling that is fun, faithful, and can be shared with the whole family.”

The additional episodes will be supported by companion activity guides developed in collaboration with the VeggieTales® and Minno teams. These off-screen companion resources will begin rolling out throughout the Spring to support the Fruit of the Spirit episodes, helping parents engage kids in conversations that matter and fun that engages their imagination.

“The additional episodes feature stories of the Veggies helping to revive Mr. Nezzer’s dilapidated theater,” says Leslie Ferrell, SVP Big Idea, Content Group Universal Pictures Content Group. “Each show focuses on one of the Fruit of the Spirit – like love, joy, or peace – and is filled with hilarious on-stage performances and backstage antics.”

“VeggieTales® is such a special show for most families,” adds Goss. “It’s a privilege to provide our Members the opportunity to experience VeggieTales® and see new and cherished memories being made. We love providing content across our platforms that helps families experience Jesus every day.”

Minno welcomes new members to its app, which is accessible in all app stores, at both annual ($69.99/yr) and monthly ($6.99/month) membership levels. For more information, visit www.gominno.com.
