Mike Nawrocki, VeggieTales co-creator and voice of beloved Larry the Cucumber is making a long time dream, a reality.
With the help of renowned Disney animator Tom Bancroft (known for his work on Disney movies like “Mulan,” “The Lion King,” and “Beauty and the Beast“) and the art production mastery of Steve Taylor, Nawrocki is working on a new animated series called, “The Dead Sea Squirrels.”
“I’m thrilled to see the ‘Dead Sea Squirrels’ coming to life,” Nawrocki told the Christian Post. “The beginnings of the idea came to me over a dozen years ago. So, to get the opportunity to write a book series and now to move into animation — it is a longtime dream come true.”
The first six episodes are based on Nawrocki’s book series of the same name.
“The Dead Sea Squirrels” tells the story of Merle and Pearl Squirrel, two first-century squirrels from Israel “who’ve been preserved in sea salt in a cave alongside the Dead Sea,” according to the website.
