Encyclopedia
The Wonderful World of Auto-Tainment! is the 19th episode in the VeggieTales
series. It was released on May 20, 2003 on DVD
and VHS
. It is a variety show (with a theme song similar to Disney
's The Wonderful World of Color) in which the Veggies sing songs from various sing-along albums in a format that conforms to Larry's idea of what the future of entertainment will be like. In Larry's estimation, entertainment will be fully automated. Using devices such as the "Wheel of Veggies" and the "Swarming Balls of Disorder", random performers will be paired with random musical numbers. Even jokes will be randomly generated.
This was the only VeggieTales video not to have a central moral theme, and the first VeggieTales episode to be made by Big Idea after its acquisition by Classic Media
in mid-2003.
