LarryBoy (Netflix TV series)

LarryBoy is an American 2D-animated Christian web television series created for Netflix by Mike Nawrocki and produced by Big Idea Entertainment and DreamWorks Animation Television. It is a spin-off of VeggieTales, a Christian-themed video and film series starring anthropomorphic vegetables. The series follows Larry the Cucumber as he balances his double life as a billionaire superhero while protecting the citizens of Bumblyburg. Each season consists of 13 22-minute episodes and contains a different story arc.

Premise
Bumblyburg has been littered with danger for a long time, and billionaire Larry the Cucumber has decided that enough is enough. This leads to him donning a pair of plungers and becoming the superhero LarryBoy. Accompanied by his trustworthy butler Alfred, LarryBoy goes around fighting villains of all kinds. When he's not patrolling the city, he works as a janitor at the Daily Bumble in an effort to keep track of what's happening in the city. But he still has a few lessons to learn since he hasn't been working as a masked vigilante for long, which is why he occasionally attends a superhero class at the Bumblyburg Community College.
