Phil Vischer tried to reanimate the third VeggieTales episode: Are You My Neighbor? (including The Hairbrush Song) in 1998 because there were some things in the OG episode he wanted to update. But with how much work he had towards making Jonah, the project was dropped. The only evidence of it ever happening was the audio of the opening countertop sequence which can be found in certain easter eggs and behind the scenes of VeggieTales DVD's.

Not for me. I remember 90s VeggieTales having a very distinct style of animation. They emphasized key frames and squashing and stretching the characters for comedic effect.

Another thing I'm realizing about veggietales (rack shack Benny and the Esther episode in particular) - I think they had a big role in instilling virtues of integrity and resistance to "dumb fads." Not just fashion trends etc but also primed me to more easily identify mob-mentality, view it with a more skeptical eye. this has been valuable in so many areas of my life, ranging from career/fiscal calculations to political discourse to personal authenticity. (Ironically it might've contributed to my current stance on US Christianity, which is "this needs fixing," at best.)

Gotta say the whole things too, he legally changed his name to "A Pimp called Nezzer"

29:33 I honestly _really_ appreciate the changes made to Mr. Nezzer in this sequence. It makes him seem like much less of a mad man when in the original he comes across more like a cackling villain who was rooting for their deaths, then just has a complete 180 turn in the end. But here, he's quiet, he almost seems disappointed as he goes to walk away from the furnace without a word. Then when the light of God beams down to protect them, he looks _terrified,_ as if he knows he just upset the big guy in the sky and it gives him something of a reality check, his expressions when they come out of the furnace being filled with fear, apprehension, and deep regret. It really helps sell Mr. Nezzer's turn much better than the original in my book, and I really like it. Overall this is fantastic work remastering the original, but I felt the need to praise this part specifically.

I’m floored. Where do I even start with this? Like, talk about an incredibly satisfying reimagining of the original film, shot-for-shot, my gosh.. The subtlety in expressiveness, the pacing, the new life breathed into the characters (even background characters!), the friggin’ SCORE man! It’s like, so distinctively Gourd, and yet still stays gauged in the headspace of, yea, this is totally how classic era Big Idea would have done it. Like, it isn’t just an homage, It’s practically a spiritual successor. I found myself backing up and rewatching frames, geeking out about all the references, recognizing all the soundbites and where they originated, all the nods to past episodes. But also, being legitimately struck by how even the TONE of the scenes, by way of tweaking a characters expression from the original, or rearranging the shots, or reassigning set pieces, or even sometimes overtly NOT following the format of the original storyboard to elicit a different mood entirely. I think that might have been what I enjoyed most about this; I’m watching a practically shot-for-shot remake of ‘Rack, Shack and Benny’, and yet, this is still very much NOT ‘Rack, Shack and Benny’. It didn’t need to be, and you can tell it didn’t really want to be either. Y’all just leaned into that! I found that very cool and very endearing. Gourd, dude, this was really something special.

Yeah, and in the original version of the episode, the part where Benny (Larry the Cucumber) sings the line “We used to be so happy.” I was like “But you all seem happy when you sang that, so it kinda takes the realism out of the environment.” But here when he sang that line, even with Rack and Shack sang “We used to laugh and run” “But there’s no time to play ‘cause we gotta work all day and it isn’t very fun”, even when it comes to the animation, they sound very miserable, which fits the vibe of the moment. I was like “YES!! Now, I’m invested! They should feel miserable, as mean and cruel as it sounds, but when they sound so annoyed and miserable, they should have that same energy and not be happy about it”. Does that make sense?

This much how community cares and loves about Veggietales, and I am proud of that.

The lables being in Cuneiform seing that the original took place in Babylon shows how much passion went into this.

They did see it. Check the pinned comment.

The jazz guitarist pea chuting out of the floor in Mr. Nezzer's office on cue was so much funnier than it had any right to be. I'm hard pressed to find things to celebrate here that haven't already been said a bunch of times over by everyone else, but this is just fantastic. It goes so far beyond anything I expected, and is easily one of the highest quality fan projects I've ever seen. Bravo to the whole team, bravo all around.

The best part of this is putting all the extra future characters that didn't exist when this first was created. Just the presence they add brings so much life into it.

Words literally cannot describe how amazing this was. This made the original feel a lot more bigger and grander, like a broadway musical or sorts...the remixing of the music, the score, the added details, the animation, the extra voice acting, the sound design, the EVERYTHING overshadows the original! An amazing remake of an amazing episode from an amazing show! Bravo to everyone involved!!!

No one (from what I'm seeing) is talking about the BRILLIANCE of having 19:14 scene change from a huge outside auditorium to an inside break-room type setting! I understand having it outside, to show the sheer scale of the bunny, but moving it inside makes it a LOT easier for Lundt to pick out the few workers that aren't following the norm. Plus having the guards bring them to the front, rather than them being allowed to stay in the back of the pack, makes it feel like Nezzer has much more control of the situation (with the added LOVE of the 'guards' being more executives that you've already seen in the previous scene). This was an amazing re-mold and I hope y'all make more (if the inspiration strikes)!

I liked this change too it was so much better

The fact that these guys went the extra mile to recreate the entire episode, and even remaster the soundtrack is something else, man!

Man, this is incredible! Love all the extra world-building too! The fact that Junior's bedroom is full of bunny memorabilia is hilarious and shows how much of a foothold that Nezzer Chocolate has on the area. The factory actually feels like a workplace now too! There were so many fun extra animations and flourishes that just made this an absolute joy to watch. I gotta make sure to share this with all my family and friends in church!

The fact that people who aren't Christians anymore still like the show should tell you how good these people were at storytelling. I wish they taught other things too like math or history or something...

34:57 I know those grunting noises! They're from the Larryboy PS2 game and it's when Larryboy stretches his plunger ears to fling across the field.

i can't believe you didn't add Background Pea #36 from Huckleberry Larry, 0/10 But seriously, working on this for the last year has been a great experience! I'm glad everyone is enjoying it, and getting to see everyone's reactions to moments I've been enjoying for months was really fun!

This is just superb. What sets this apart is the incredible animation that evokes the Maya era of VeggieTales (circa 2000s) which is the era I grew up watching. Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I like in the opening tune on 3:12 and 3:19, Junior and Larry were animated as if they’re about to sing their lines.

We are Almost there, but proves the precure fandom cant do this (PC Fandom Uses MMD)

As someone who drifted away from faith in my adult years, my appreciation for Veggietales as a kids’ show has stayed strong, and I see just as much passion in this as I do the early VT episodes. You guys did a wonderful job.

Also, I noticed some references throughout RS&B Remolded: 1- a pea falling from Laura’s delivery car is a reference to the same pea falling from the tree house in “Madam Blueberry”, and his scream sounds just like the one from “King George and the Ducky”. 2- in the Dance of the Cucumber silly song, Junior and his dad were wearing exactly the same shirts as they did in “Jonah: a VeggieTales movie”. 3- speaking of that movie, towards the end of this remolded episode, another pea was shown exiting the elevator, and that pea is one of them from Ninevah and also spoke exactly like Khalil the Caterpillar, also another reference from the movie. 4- a few of those standing posts in the middle of the factory, though with the colors altered, are exactly the same ones from King Darius’ castle in “Daniel and the Lion’s Den”. 5- the back of Mr. Nezzer’s office looks almost identical to King Xerxes’ throne room from “Esther the girl who became Queen”. 6- Blind Lemon from “Duke and the Great Pie War” was also featured as a music player for Mr. Nezzer and his songs. 7- when Rack Shack & Benny stepped out of the furnace, a piece of music score is played in background with them doing so, and that piece of music score is exactly the same one as played in the end of “Larry-Boy & The Fib From Outer Space”. Phew! That was a lot of references to disclose! Lol

Dude attempts triple homicide. Says: "Woops, my bad." And fam be like: "No prob, bro." Seems legit.

As a guy who grew up with Veggietales as a child. I was amazed by this fantastic remake of one of the best classic episodes. The remake music adds more depth into the tone to make it more engaging. I also found the animation fantastic, it resembles the 2000s style but with more depth and details with the characters designs and the background elements too. Almost like it was made for a theatrical movie. I really love the fact that the factory diversifies its cast where it’s more than just peas as the employees. If Phil Vischer himself saw this remake, he would be proud!

My favorite background character you added was the Chill Executive. For the sake of the comment, I'll call her "Chill" . We first see her at 14:49. Chewing gum. She pops her bubble in benny's ear as she continues to listen in. It is a subtle way to get the sharp unfeeling mood of the Board compared to the ambitious Nezzar 15:17 Benny Blocks the view of the Chill Executive behind him and they have a brief interaction. Benny: "That's... the bunny?" Chill: "Hey, Stretch, do you mind?" Benny: "Oh! uh... Sorry. " Chill: "Thank you." 32:37 Chill makes an appearance in the back still keeping in character. Cool as a benny (Cucumber) but noticeably loosened up more. Almost like her expression reads: "Finally, a little light in this place." Other note: It wouldn't feel right having chill antagonize the protagonists directly like seize them, chase Laura, etc. But the indirect ways with Benny were perfect! Chill was the most laid back of the board, always observing and conserving energy. Her contributions to the story were indirect, but it felt natural, like someone under the rule of a king making their own conclusions but kind of like an Anti-Laura, playing it cool, and spectating. Almost like she got enough information about Benny and the rest to make some interactions. If Cell phones were a thing in this story, 100% she'd be texting. LOL. Just one example of how layered a background character can be! Well done Gourd!

Woah great observation!!!

I went into this critically as both an animator and someone with a special interest in Veggietales who's watched the original episode probably a hundred times and have it memorized down to the motions the characters make. This is SO good. I loved the little and big changes you made, from the style of the setting and design to re-timing some of the jokes w/ dialogue. This is absolutely incredible and honestly I think this is closer to what this episode would have been if it were made in 2024 instead of 1995 (which I guess is what it is, but I mean like..... with the OG team and stuff). You guys must have worked so hard on this and it paid off spectacularly!!!

Woah. The furnace scene has like 20x more menace in what was already a pretty dark moment for a kids show. Making the cart dropping a deliberate choice and not an accident (like in the original where Laura unplugs the machine but the pin just falls out anyway) contributes to that massivley, along with removing Nezzar's evil laugh and replacing it with a cold hard stare. Well done!

Every bit of this is outstanding, but I especially want to point out the audio. It sounds super clean, not a hint of the original graininess. The added echo when characters talk in the factory and the background noise were fantastic additions. Do I even need to mention the music? The renditions of the original songs are so amazingly done, and the usage of motifs in the background music was perfectly done throughout. As someone who’s learned to appreciate good sound design, this is a treat for the ears. Seriously, this is phenomenal work. A fantastic “testament” to the best Christian media series ever made.

The amount of added details in this! The background instrumentals that give this a much needed cinematic feel, the added in pauses like when the boys get dropped into the furnace! Mr. Nezzer doesn't even do his maniacal laugh at their demise! He just walks away like he just threw out the trash, that was so much more chilling! I just... Can hardly even begin to speak about how much love and care was put into this! By far my favorite detail is Shack's cute little dance at 31:29 🥰😍 He puts so much *SWAG* into it, just adore it!

I love this rework! The visuals, the new outfit designs, the new music arrangements, and the extra characters such as Jimmy, Jerry, Archibald, Madame Blueberry, Scooter etc.! Since the team of Animaniacs fans already an animated music video of The Hello Song, they should make music video versions of Several Drops of Rain and I’ll Take an Island.

Bob singing the intro for us one last time got me pretty emotional. The soundtrack here was incredible, and the animation was perfect. Great job, everyone!

when i think of a VeggieTales PASSION project, this is exactly what I think of. You captured exactly what a fan of this amazing franchise would want to see perfectly, from the Take 38 remake, the AMAZING remake of the theme song and Silly Song, the score that I prayyy Kurt Heineke gets to hear, the movements, animation, lighting, sound design, and all that is so great about this iconic franchise and episode. The score that played throughout , was so different, but so full, and so VeggieTales at the same time. This project showed an understanding of VeggieTales to a T, which only makes Phil Vischer’s mark of approval, that much more satisfying to see! Perfect episode choice, and perfect but original remake, excellent work!!! Ohhhhh what you all could do to “Fib from Outer Space”😮‍💨. But please rest now, enjoy the fruits of your labors, and take time for yourselves…but please make another one 😂. Congrats to this amazing team for this amazing re-mold!

This is one of the most incredible feats of animation I’ve ever seen from a fan community, hands down. The remastered music and new ambient background tracks. The quality of how well it matches the VeggieTales style. The use of all the side characters. The seamless integration of old voicelines and new background actors. Nezzer’s outfit in the Bunny Song. The sheer feeling of seeing George updated in the newer animation. The new visual and sound based gags (that pea yelling is like the Wilhelm Scream of the Veggeiverse) and so much more just bring this together so perfectly. Bravo, to everyone involved in this project. Bravo.

I love the outfit designs and the general reskin of the setting, the mafia vibe was a really fun touch 😄

Well, there’s a slight difference between the two. When you wear an oven mitt on your head, the sleeve that you insert your hand into is longer so that way you don’t see anything. But a shoe, if it’s clean and disinfected, is different. It’s kinda like a hat. Sure you put your crusty feet in it normally, but Larry wears a shoe in the “Love Your Neighbor” episode like it’s a hat to him. He can see more clearly wearing a shoe on his head than an oven mitt.

It goes without saying that this is beyond amazing i legit wanna cry from how good it looks and honestly reminds me of the fact that the bunny song is still stuck in my head rent free after all these years

Finished my second full watch, here for another. Wow. Most incredible piece of content I’ve ever seen come out of this fandom; easily the best thing I’ve seen all year. Seriously, I would venture to say Gourd is a genius. The direction was incredible- he had a clear vision, stuck it through and made a timeless piece of art. I was lucky enough to see it in progress over the past year or two- the boards, the concept art- even the unfinished animation was all amazing!!! And now it’s complete. Shoutout to all the animators who poured time into this project. The music is beyond stellar, can’t wait to listen back to them again. My favorite moments were Junior’s dance in ‘Stand’ and the photo gag in the silly song. Honored to have been able to do the Percy/other vegetable moaning noises. Seeing my name in the credits made my heart jump. I could type another paragraph about all the foreshadowing, references and details, but I won’t. Love you all, this is incredible. Thank you Gourd.

Simultaneously 5 years old on my grandma’s couch and 26 years old wondering how they managed to activate my sleeper agent training to sing the Bunny Song.

It's such a small thing to notice, but the detail with Larry's sousaphone and the correct valves being pushed at the beginning was such a nice touch!

We've come full circle. VeggieTales started with a small makeshift team with Phil and Mike at the wheel. Now the people who grew up watching it all are repeating the process.

I really, REALLY love how you guys gave the whole thing a fresh mid 2000's look to the whole episode, with a fuller soundtrack, background details, extras etc, My only real complaint is that I feel like some of the eye expressions were lost in the transition (or rather transformation), especially with Bob. The whole "Sitting vs Standing" gag doesn't land so well without Bob's more cartoony movement and expressions. The tabletop scenes also feel more like Bob is more concerned with Larry than being annoyed at him. That said you did make up some of it with how Bob acted in the Silly Song portion; whoever animated the part with Bob collar-grabbing Larry without hands deserves... Well they did it for free, so I can't say a raise, but you get the idea. Hopefully you guys see this comment before this video gets COPPAed. But I wish to congratulate everyone involved on a job well done and advice on if you decide to make another remake in the future. (Dave and the Giant Pickle maybe?)

As somebody who’s seen the OG so many times, I find it fascinating about what was changed, added, and cut.

16:22 this scene always makes me laugh because of what Big idea studios did. The original lyric was “I don’t love my mom or my dad just the bunny,” but it had to be changed because angry parents wrote to Big Idea about their kids singing it all the time and demanded a change. Of course, they listened and when they rereleased the DVD version it became, “I don’t love my soup or my bread, just the bunny.”

Another line that was changed for the same reason was "I won't eat no beans, and I won't eat tofu" which was originally "I won't go to church, and I won't go to school." This is why, in the original animation, the three protagonist's jaws fall to the floor in shock and disbelief when that line is said.

I’ll try and keep this rambling brief because I will be here so long if I do so but this is easily one of the best projects to come out this year. There’s so much this project does to not only actively better the original but also help recontextualize certain characters and moments. The whole Think of Me scene comes to mind as an example as it makes me cry so hard. That was made far more tender and just adorable thanks to not only the new arrangement but the setting/ new character animations/costumes. Speaking of which, those and everything with the timing/ restructuring of everything make me so happy as it makes every scene all the more special, it breathes live into previously flat or standard moments. The score is no joke one of the best I’ve heard from a fan project Id say ever, all the leitmotifs really help tie it all together. In general the sound editing was ON POINT. Everyone involved with this did a fantastic job and it absolutely shows. This feels like such a love letter to not only the original episode but to the franchise as a whole.
