VeggieTales Classics

VeggieTales Classics is a line of previously-released episodes of VeggieTales for both VHS and DVD. Yippee TV became the exclusive streaming service of classic episodes of the series in 2019.

The term only applies to episodes from 1993 to 2001, although The End of Silliness? is also the only episode of the 1990s that did not get a VeggieTales Classics re-release (despite having been initially released to DVD as part of The Complete Silly Song Collection DVD set in 2004 and getting an individual DVD release in 2007). However, it does appear under the VeggieTales Classics line in some international releases.

Fun Facts

Trivia

• The February 2003 reprints of "Rack, Shack and Benny," "Josh and the Big Wall!", "Lyle the Kindly Viking" and "The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown" were promoted as "The Ultimate VeggieTales Collection", which was advertised several times on Cartoon Network.
  • It also includes a sneak peek at "The Ballad of Little Joe".
• The February 2004 reprints of "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?", "Dave and the Giant Pickle" and "Lyle The Kindly Viking" have sneak peeks for "A Snoodle's Tale" and "Sumo of the Opera".
• Various episodes in this line have had many sound changes and picture adjustments compared to their original releases (exceptions include "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?" and "God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!", which used the 1998 masters, however the former didn't get remastered until its 15th anniversary DVD re-release in 2008, while the latter however has the 2004 theme song plastered over the 1998 one but only on its DVD release, as well as "Lyle the Kindly Viking", as that had already used the 2001 theme song beforehand).
  • Most of these episodes have had sound changes, such as the repositioning and/or alteration of the dialogue/sound effects and the instrumentation of several songs being repurposed/remastered in contrast to the originals. These versions mostly derive from the VeggieTunes albums (especially the 1998 reprint of the first VeggieTunes album).
  • In "Rack, Shack and Benny," "Josh and the Big Wall!" and "Dave and the Giant Pickle", the brightness, contrast, and color adjustments were overdone.
    • Additionally, "Rack, Shack and Benny" has one animation error fixed at the end of "Stand!" (this doesn't apply to the song's appearance on the DVD release of "Very Silly Songs!", however), but even bizarrely still has the slower framerates on the three factory shots remastered from the first few copies of its original 1995 release when these shots had already been rendered in faster framerate beforehand in other re-releases and the later copies of the original 1995 release.
  • "Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space!" and "Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen" are strangely missing some sound effects.
  • The 2003 reprints of "Madame Blueberry" and "King George and the Ducky" had some voices and sound effects different on the 5.1 surround sound audio (aside from the 2001 theme song using the 2003 audio, which the 2.0 stereo track already used the 1998-2002 audio of the theme song).
    • Additionally, on the 5.1 surround sound audio of "Madame Blueberry", the music continues playing and abruptly stops before the treehouse got smashed.
  • In the 2004 DVD reprint of "The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown", some sound and/or graphic changes were reanimated.
    • Additionally, in "Dance of the Cucumber", "The Water Buffalo Song", "The Song of the Cebu", "Love My Lips" and "The Hairbrush Song", the brightness, contrast and gamma adjustments were adjusted.
  • The March 2006 DVD reprint of "Are You My Neighbor?" also has minor sound changes in contrast to the original release and other re-releases while the 2006 VHS is just the 2000 Word Entertainment reprint.
    • Additionally, the DVD release for said episode strangely has jagged framerate in a lot of scenes.
• "Very Silly Songs!" was initially released to DVD as part of The Complete Silly Song Collection DVD set in 2004 before getting an individual DVD release in 2006 (as part of VeggieTales Classics) and 2007.
• The 2006 reprints of "Are You My Neighbor?" and "Very Silly Songs!" are the only ones to not be distributed by Warner Home Video, but instead by Word Entertainment.
