LarryBoy: A VeggieTales Movie/Trivia

Here are some trivia facts about LarryBoy: A VeggieTales Movie.

Trivia

 * The film was created to thank many VeggieTales and LarryBoy fans who requested it.
 * Because the film serves as an origin story, its events begin less than two years prior to the events of LarryBoy and the Fib from Outer Space, and therefore also takes place before any of LarryBoy's appearances in the VeggieTales franchise. As a result, Jimmy and Jerry still work at the Bumblyburg Science Lab, the Larry Manor and the LarryMobile have the same designs they had in the aforementioned episode, and the LarryMobile doesn't do much yet.
 * The movie includes elements from LarryBoy: The Cartoon Adventures, such as Awful Alvin being the main antagonist and Bob being the editor in chief of the Daily Bumble. Some characters from the show even make appearances in the background if you look closely enough.
 * The episode LarryBoy and the Angry Eyebrows hinted that LarryBoy and Awful Alvin knew each other beforehand. This film reveals their history.
 * The criminals who appeared at the beginning of the film were Motato and his radish army. It is revealed that they were just starting out in a life of crime. Later, they join forces with Awful Alvin.
 * The writers considered creating a new villain, but decided to use Awful Alvin instead due to fan support.
 * At one point in the film, Awful Alvin does his Villainous Dance of Villainy.
 * There are moments in the film where LarryBoy battles against tornadoes and parking violations as a reference to his character bio on the original LarryBoy website.
 * When Scooter tells LarryBoy that something came from outer space, it begins the events of LarryBoy and the Fib from Outer Space.
