Veggie Tales in Farsi!
داستان سبزیجات (translation: The Story of Vegetables) is the Persian dub of VeggieTales.
Several Persian dubs of the series were prepared: The first dub in 2005 for Iranian churches, a second one in the late 2000s in Tehran, Iran at Glory Entertainment and a third one in the mid-2010s at Qualima for the newer VCDs. Furthermore, a dub consisting of The Star of Christmas and Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue were also produced in an unknown year possibly at the same studio after the third dub, but with a completely different voice cast than the previous two dubs. The fifth and current dub is done at SAT-7 Studios and currently airing on SAT-7 Pars.
Although the first and fifth dubs were licensed and authorized by Big Idea, the second, third, and fourth dubs were produced illegally without the authorization of Big Idea (as with numerous television shows dubbed into Persian).

Fun Facts[]
- The first dub features the same number of episodes that were dubbed in Arabic at Arascope in 1998, but uses the 2000s international masters and also has Qwerty's screen plastered from Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space! for any textless use of Qwerty's verses.
- Are You My Neighbor? was also left out of the 1st Persian dub, likely for the same reasons as with the Arabic dub, but when the 5th dub of the series was being produced for SAT-7 Pars years later, Are You My Neighbor? was newly dubbed in Persian all of a sudden.
- In the 2nd Persian dub of the show, Bob's voice sounds like a pirate. This does not count for most episodes.
- While the original music and sound effects are used throughout the various episodes, a vocal remover is used in an attempt to remove the original voices. The English dialogue can still be faintly heard in most episodes. Additional changes such as new sound effects and vocal cues from characters are used as well.
- Bob and Larry's opening dialogue before the Theme Song is left out in Lyle the Kindly Viking.
- The music for The Star of Christmas is completely changed and has some sound effects missing, such as Millward accidentally bumped the shelf in which the church bells slide to the basket that lifts up.
- In Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler, the pea guards' French dialogue is translated into Persian.
- In Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah's Umbrella, some changes are made:
- The music for the VeggieTales Theme Song is changed, and have added some sound effects.
- The score during the Moose Lake Children's Museum scene is completely changed as well.
- The audio for Mexican Ice Cream and Rise and Shine are replaced with some piano music.
- The reprise for Rise and Shine also uses a different piano music as well.
- Sippy Cup also uses a different music after Mr. Lunt says "Let me check with the records".
- The second dub's sources were taken from the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment DVD releases of the show.[citation needed]
- The English title on the video cover for Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space! has the word "outer" mistranslated and misspelled as "othr".
- Most of the cover art for the Persian videos feature characters from different episodes or characters who don't appear in the episodes at all.
- In the SAT-7 Pars dub, it is very likely that Larry, Junior Asparagus, and Liam Young have the same voice actor.
- This is the only dub to have the Larry-Boy Theme Song in the beginning and The W's version of The Rumor Weed Song at the end in Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed.
