Was there a little Monty Python influence in The Duke and the Great Pie War?
I wasn’t involved in Pie Wars directly, but Monty Python references have been sprinkled liberally throughout the series. How did you know that the regular VeggieTale characters could so easily adapt to any story line? We don’t know, but it sure is fun trying. Occasionally we’ll hit a dead end and have to drop a story, but more often the contrast of the known character forced into a particular role helps drive the comedy, as when Mr. Lunt was forced to play Ophelia in our retelling of Hamlet. Is there a character more near and dear to you, and if so, why? My favorites to perform are Mr. Lunt, Archibald Asparagus, and Pa Grape. They each play off different parts of my personality, and let me be much less inhibited than normal social standards would generally allow. All the films seem to entertain both kids and adults, was that your plan? I was trying to write shows that I would want to watch with my kids. If the writing wasn’t fun for me, why bother? How are the story lines developed for
