Before the release of their feature film, ''Jonah: a VeggieTales Movie'', BigIdea made plans to make another feature film called '''''The Bob & Larry Movie'''''. The movie was planned for a 2005 theatrical release, however, it was soon scrapped due to BigIdea going bankrupt in mid-2003, and the fact that it had human characters (which were too complicated to animate at the time). ''The Bob & Larry Movie'' was later replaced by ''The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: a VeggieTales Movie'', which was released in January 2008. ''The Bob & Larry Movie'' would’ve been distributed by Artisan, the distributor of ''Jonah''. According to BigIdea founder, Phil Vischer, they had about 10 people working on the movie before cancelling it.

Judging by an interview with Bob and Larry from 2005, it is possible that BigIdea was still thinking about making ''The Bob & Larry Movie'', or instead making ''The Pirates who Don't Do Anything'', which they eventually ended up making.

Before the release of their feature film, Jonah: a VeggieTales Movie, BigIdea made plans to make another feature film called The Bob & Larry Movie. The movie was planned for a 2005 theatrical release, however, it was soon scrapped due to BigIdea going bankrupt in mid-2003, and the fact that it had human characters (which were too complicated to animate at the time). The Bob & Larry Movie was later replaced by The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: a VeggieTales Movie, which was released in January 2008. The Bob & Larry Movie would’ve been distributed by Artisan, the distributor of Jonah. According to BigIdea founder, Phil Vischer, they had about 10 people working on the movie before cancelling it.

Judging by an interview with Bob and Larry from 2005, it is possible that BigIdea was still thinking about making The Bob & Larry Movie, or instead of making The Pirates who Don't Do Anything, which they eventually ended up making.
