LarryBoy and the Cape-Coat Caper is the eleventh episode and the first Larry-Boy episode of The VeggieTales Show, which teaches a lesson in telling the truth.

Summary[]

When LarryBoy's biggest super-fan, Callie Flower, accidentally wrecks the LarryMobile, she makes a not-so-good choice and lies, making up a story about how the accident happened. Callie's lie causes trouble for LarryBoy and the residents of Bumblyburg lose faith in their superhero. Callie sees the hurt she has caused and tells the truth about the accident. Callie learns a valuable lesson straight from God's word: always tell the truth!

Remarks[]

Nintega Dario LarryBoy Fan Art

Nintega Dario's fan art used in the episode.

  • This is the third LarryBoy-centric episode to be based on telling the truth. The first two were Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space! and The Missing Jetpack, respectively.
  • A few of the newly-introduced characters recycle character models from previously established characters:
    • Scallini is a re-colored version of Scallion #1.
    • Adele Pepper reuses Mirabelle's character model without any noticeable changes.
  • The episode uses the typical theme song for the series, which is set in Mr. Nezzer's theater. However, this episode takes place outside the theater.
  • On the theater poster for "The Sound of Mushroom", Laura Carrot is seen in her original design, most particularly her Princess Poppyseed outfit from Princess and the Popstar and Lenny and the Lost Birthday.
  • The legal Driving age isn't until 16 years old.
  • As Alfred calls Callie in the LarryMobile, his image displayed shows his monocle on his left eye, when in the episode, it is resting on his right eye.
  • In Callie's bedroom, some of the posters are just covers of previous LarryBoy episodes without the text.
    • Also, one of the posters of LarryBoy displayed in her room is fan art by Nicolas Granola (nicknamed Nintega Dario online). Whether or not this was a mistake by the crew of the episode has yet to be confirmed. (see image)
  • The same recording of Callie screaming, "My camera!" is used twice.

Goofs[]

  • Like many episodes released previously, there are shots where characters' noses are misplaced, floating beneath their eyes.
  • On a billboard in Callie Flower's bedroom, certain stick-it notes with text are shown in reverse.
  • Adele Pepper's first line is not pitch-shifted.
  • There are a few mistakes made in the credits:
    • They state that Mayor Blueberry makes an appearance in the episode. However, her character does not appear, although she is mentioned by LarryBoy. It is possible that she was going appear in the episode but was taken out due to time constraints.
    • They also mistakenly credit Miss Minchin as Miss Achmetha.

Inside References[]

  • Models from previous LarryBoy episodes make appearances (with some small changes), including:
  • Laura and Callie walking out of the theater at the beginning is a nod to the first two LarryBoy episodes.
  • The movie posters outside the theater feature one of the Romans from MacLarry and the Stinky Cheese Battle, as well as Princess Poppyseed from Princess and the Popstar and one of the cheerleader peas from a few previous episodes.
  • The audio recording of LarryBoy's exclamation when he notices that Scallini has vanished is taken from Patience Takes Practice.
  • One of the vehicles that Callie nearly runs into with the LarryMobile is the white shuttle bus from 'Twas the Night Before Easter and Merry Larry and the True Light of Christmas.
  • Callie's room is a recolored version of Laura's room from Celery Night Fever.
  • The hats in Caps for Chaps are reused from different VeggieTales episodes.
  • The newspaper LarryBoy reads is the same one Mr. Lunt was reading in the previous episode.
  • A portrait of Ephraim Apply from LarryBoy and the Bad Apple and one of Jacques' inventions from Blunders in Boo-Boo Ville can be seen in the Bumblyburg Science Museum.
  • The way Callie would take in a Gruff voice for disguise would be similar to what happened in The Ballad of Little Joe when Joe talked to his brothers in a Gruff voice.
  • As a running gag, Scallini calls LarryBoy "JerryBoy" throughout the episode. This is a likely in-joke to a picture of Jerry Gourd wearing LarryBoy's costume.

Real-World References[]

  • As Laura and Callie exit a movie theater, behind them are posters for films titled "Peas" and "The Sound of Mushroom", parodies of the films Grease and The Sound of Music, respectively.
  • LarryBoy's line "My car!" was uttered by Jon in Garfield Gets Real.
  • Callie Flower talks into a device named Eugenia, a parody of the virtual assistant Alexa, found in many products by Amazon.
  • This episode shares some similarities with the DuckTales reboot episode "Let's Get Dangerous" (which aired a month and four days before this episode was released), as they both involve a superhero dressed in purple getting involved in a situation with a young girl.
