Logo for the newsletter.
Status: Partially Found
What’s the Big Idea? was the official newsletter of Big Idea Productions, creator of VeggieTales and 3-2-1 Penguins!. This newsletter included updates on upcoming episodes, interviews with Big Idea employees, and fun activities for kids. Parents would sign up for the newsletter by sending their mailing info to:
“What’s the Big Idea?”
P.O. Box 617697
Chicago, IL 60661
However, in its last year of issues, this address was changed to:
P.O. Box 200
Young America, MN 55397
Eventually, this was replaced by The Super Fantastic Veggie Fan Club in November 2001, which itself was discontinued in 2003.

Availability
As of 2021, four issues of the magazine can be found. Many random pages can also be found on Jody Nielsen’s (a former Big Idea illustrator) official website.
On May 19th, 2020, Twitter user JediAnnSolo posted pictures of some miscellaneous issues including editions made for the releases of LarryBoy and the Rumor Weed and King George and the Ducky, along with one for the Christmas season. After LMW user JKDoodles113 asked her about possibly sharing scans of the issues, she later responded that she would like to take the time to scan the issues after cleaning them.
On August 31st, 2021, JediAnnSolo released all four issues she owned, as well as a few issues from The Super Fantastic Veggie Fan Club.
