Larryboy: The Cartoon Adventures is an American children's direct-to-video series which is a spin-off of the computer animated series VeggieTales created by Big Idea Entertainment and Cornerstone Animation. The first video was released in 2002. Unlike its predecessor VeggieTales, LarryBoy was animated in Adobe Flash. The series was short-lived and includes only four videos. From September 2006 to September 2009, NBC aired the four videos on its Qubo block alongside other VeggieTales videos.
The series revolves around the character Larry's superhero alter-ego Larryboy as he tries to manage his life as a superhero while going undercover as a janitor for the Daily Bumble newspaper in Bumblyburg.
The Larryboy: The Cartoon Adventures only carry over four characters from VeggieTales: Larry the Cucumber, Bob the Tomato, Junior Asparagus, and Archibald Asparagus.
The series was nominated for a Golden Reel Award in 2003 for Best Sound Editing in Direct to Video, but lost to The Adventures of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina. Furthermore, according to the creator Phil Vischer, fans of the original VeggieTales series criticized the series for its cheap-looking animation. Mixed with Big Idea's bankruptcy at the time, the series ended after the release of only four videos.
All of the videos were released in VHS and DVD formats. The four videos were also released in one addition in both the Bumblyburg Super Value Pack (2004) and The Larryboy: Power Pack (2009).
