Has anyone heard anything about the release date of Huckleberry Larry?

According to Wikipedia it was due out in Spring 2008, but looks like it has been pushed back to July 15, 2008.  That’s a long time since the last one.

IMDB is listing a release date of May 1, 2008 for The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie.

I guess this would make sense, but it makes you wonder what’s going on at Big Idea.  They usually do three videos a year, and Huckleberry was supposed to be pretty much done when the movie came out.

From the Cover:

Have you ever felt too small to do a really big job? That’s what a little shepherd boy named Dave feels when his big brothers head off to defend their country, leaving Dave behind with the sheep. “Big people do big things, and little people do little things,”they tell him. They’re in for a surprise, however, when they find out their foe is much bigger than they thought! This telling of the classic biblical story of David and Goliath teaches kids that “with God, all things are possible.” It makes no difference whether you’re 9-feet tall or 2-feet tall — with God’s help, even little guys can do big things!

So, Phil Vischer is at it again, and he needs your help.  He’s launching a new online television network called Jelly Telly, and he’s looking to populate it with Christian entertainment.  This is not associated with Big Idea or VeggieTales, but it is a place where a Christian message can be brought forth.

And he wants our help– first in prayer and then with video footage of good role models.

So why are we doing this?  Simple.  Kids need to see what God’s love looks like in action.  If they watch a lot of television, they see pop stars, sports stars and celebrities.  They see kids driving around Hollywood in nice cars - recording albums and buying clothes.  They don’t see a whole lot of missionaries or Christian relief workers or, even more vital, kids just like them sacrificing their time to show God’s love to others.  So this sort of thing will be a major focus of JellyTelly.

Sounds like a great project– any takers?
