Stretching around 200 acres or more of land, the Varner Brothers Studio lot was positively enormous.
From the multitudes of leviathan stages and buildings, cast vegetables and crew vegetables went about their days filming, whether it was the newest "Planet of the Grapes" installment, or a hilarious episode of a new TV sitcom.
"This is incredible..." Larry gasped, excited beyond all compare.
"Hiiii!" A chipper young gourd woman smiled, driving a long tram vehicle. "My name is Babs, by any chance, are you the VeggieTales cast?"
"Yes we are, ma'am.." Bob the tomato smiled at the young woman, along with Larry.
"Delightful! Well, please hop in and I'll give you all a full tour of the studio!" Babs smiled.
Once everyone was in the team, Babs started the ignition and the tour commenced!
"Here at Varner Bros, we make all sorts of films that anyone, young or old can recognize, such as "Cretaceous Land"..."
The cart drove past an enormous yard being used for filming the movie. Suddenly, two leek children, a gourd, a female asparagus, and a male asparagus emerged from a Dino-themed vehicle.
"WELCOME..." the elderly gourd spoke in an English accent, twirling his amber mosquito cane. "...TO CRETACEOUS LAND.."
(*DU-NU-NU, NUN, NUN...DU-NU-NU, NUN, NUN...* went the soundtrack)
A herd of animatronic brontosaurus's were seen traversing the field, making low noises—much like cattle.
"I-I-I c-can't-can't believe it," spoke the male asparagus, stuttering. "—that-that crazy son of a fish, he-he did it!"
"They're so...real." The female asparagus gasped in awe.
"...The Flobbit, the Desperation of Smug..."
"—YOOOOU SHALL NOT PAAASS!!" A zucchini playing Randalf the White yells while multiple vegetables in motion-capture suits cower before him.
"HEY, ANDY!" The gourd director called out. "MORE SLOBBER!"
"You got it, mate!" An English-accent celery responds, then begins growling in a very feral manner, so as to create sounds for the CGI monstrosity he is portraying.
"...and for all you 90's kids out there, it's "Intergalatic Preserves".." Babs smiled. "They're making the sequel as we speak, after 20 whole years!"
(Hip hop instrumental)
"—C'mon just SWERVE,
An' welcome to the PRESERVES!
Er'body get up,
It's whatcha' heard, y'all,
We gotta get them preserves,
Y'all,
In-ter-ga-lac-tic Pre-serves,
Here's yo' chance, it ain't
The last to get a re-serve,
Alright!"
A carrot animator could be seen sketching rapidly as a basketball-playing asparagus dribbled to a pea man in a mo-cap suit, in front of a green screen, while a VFX artist worked on a large computer screen as well.
The kids and cast looked at the large screen to find that the mo-cap man had been replaced with a traditionally-animated cartoon rabbit.
"I LOVED this movie when it came out!" Larry exclaimed. "I can't believe they're making a part two!"
The carrot animator placed his pencil down and looked at a photograph of himself in black and white, along with a bunch of other "Tooney Lunes" animators in 1951. He gave a sigh and replied;
"Whatever happened to the good Ol' days?"
"—AND WE'RE MOVING RIGHT ALONG!"
The gourd guide continued, a massive smile on her face while driving the cart away from the depressing scene.
"And here is your building where you'll be working!" Babs opened up the tram doors as everyone got off. "The direction should be arriving momentarily, and while you're here, if you need anything, just go right over there to the office of M.J. Jenkins, C.E.O of Varner Bros and our most famous director! By the way, he started out as a young man working here on the popular 1974 TV show, "That Darn Kid"!"
"FOR REAL?!" Larry exclaimed. "It's HIM?! I gotta get his autograph!"
"But Larry, you're the star of the film!" Bob replied. "We can't have you leaving when the director's coming any second now!"
"Well," Larry admitted. "We don't really need the kids to be with us for a few scenes later, we could send them to go get an autograph from Merlyn!"
"Perfect!" Bob smiled, then looked at Annie. "Annie, I need you to make sure the younger ones don't die or anything, I am DEAD serious!"
Bob thought for a split second then replied;
"That wasn't a pun by the way."
"Can do, mister Bob!" Annie smiled. "We'll be just fine, I mean what's the worst that could happen?"
"Well, good luck.." Bob told Annie before the kids started walking over to the office.
The kids stopped at the foot of said office, which was very large, and Annie pressed a button on the office's intercom.
"YES?! WHAT IS IT?!" Came a voice from the other end.
"Hello?" Annie called. "We're with the set of "The Larryboy Movie 2", and we were looking for a mister M.J. Jenkins?"
"Come on in..." the voice from the other end responded. "I'm on floor 5."
The door to the office opened up, the kids walked inside, walked into the elevator, and pressed the button for room 5. While they unnervingly waited, the elevator played a Muzak version of the "That Darn Kid" theme song.
"Y'know?" Libby asked. "These 'Varner Brothers' movies sound a lot like Warner Brothers.."
