Sunday morning values, Saturday morning fun! It’s a tale of good versus evil with beans! Lord of the Beans follows the fantastic journey of a Flobbit named Toto Baggypants (Junior Asparagus) who inherits a most unusual and powerful bean. With the help of his mentor Randall and a spirited group of friends, Toto embarks on a mission to discover how he should use his gift. On their quest, the group encounters many challenges, including crossing the mountains of Much-Snowia, and facing the dreaded Lord Scaryman – who seeks the bean for misguided, selfish reasons. Will Toto discover the purpose of his giver, or will the scary dude and his Spark army capture the bean and wield its awesome powers?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
VeggieTales dominated evangelical VHS culture in the 90s-00s, making this a genuine artifact of millennial Christian childhood.
Mike Nawrocki voiced half the cast while directing, which explains why everyone sounds vaguely like Larry having different bad days.
