}}Larryboy: The Cartoon Adventures (also known as Larryboy, which is also for the title card) is an American 2D-animated children's direct-to-video series which is a spin-off of the computer animated series VeggieTales created by Big Idea Entertainment. The first video titled "Larryboy and the Angry Eyebrows", was released on March 16, 2002.[1] The series finale "The Good, The Bad and the Eggly!", was released on June 10, 2003 as it was affected by Big Idea's bankruptcy. Unlike its predecessor VeggieTales, which was animated in CGI using Autodesk Maya, LarryBoy was animated in 2D animation using Adobe Flash.[2] From September 2006 to September 2009, NBC aired the content of all four videos on its Qubo block alongside other VeggieTales episodes.[3]

Premise

The video series revolves around the character Larry's superhero alter-ego Larryboy as he tries to manage his life as a superhero while working as a janitor for the Daily Bumble newspaper in Bumblyburg.

| ShortSummary = Larryboy swings in to help after a "cheese-breathing cow dragon" begins terrorizing the town's citizens. After getting himself stuck in some of the cow dragon's cheese, Larryboy fights back and apprehends it, only to discover it is Herbert and Wally in disguise. The duo are arrested by Olaf for their manipulative acts. Soon after, Larryboy, having learned his superhero class is that night, accidentally breaks an inventor's KnitMaster 3000, designed to recycle hairs collected in bathtub drains. Despite Larryboy's apology and promise "this guy" (Archie) will fix it, the inventor, Ma Mushroom, holds a strong grudge against him. Larryboy takes the KnitMaster to Archie and arrives in his superhero class, yet again sometime after it has started. Meanwhile, Awful Alvin, planning to take control of Bumblyburg, releases eyebrows that force everyone to hold onto their anger. Soon, the eyebrows seek those who are angry, including Ma, and attach to them. Realizing that things are getting out of control, Larryboy confronts Alvin and soon an eyebrow attaches to him, which he lets go after remembering he should let go of his anger. Soon, the citizens (except Ma) let go of their anger and the eyebrows leave them. Larryboy, using the now-fixed KnitMaster, turns the eyebrows into a night cap. Alvin rues the loss of his eyebrows and his anger causes the eyebrows, now in night cap form, to attract to him and entrap him. Alvin is arrested for his villainous acts, and Ma (seeing the KnitMaster) lets go of her anger and her eyebrows leave her.
Larryboy Super Short: "Fly By Might": Larryboy is enjoying a vacation and a drink when a mysterious fly comes upon him and begins bothering him. Frustrated, he tries to kill it in every way possible but ends up knocking himself out after multiple failed attempts. The short ends as the fly is enjoying its own drink on Larryboy himself, who has started to fall asleep.

| ShortSummary = Larryboy is on a ferris wheel at the local carnival when the cotton candy machine malfunctions. Following its violent explosion, Archie discovers a bottled substance known as Ultra Sucrose Enhancement Catalyzer, which Olaf suspects was used for "chemical sabotage" of the machine. Larryboy runs into the Alchemist and is about to smell his flower; however, Olaf warns against it just in time and Larryboy supposedly sniffs no trace of the powder from the flower. However, after the Alchemist is thrown in Olaf's van and driven off, Larryboy begins to feel superior to the entire town and puts down the citizens, causing them to be shrunk, captured and taken to the Alchemist's lab. Larryboy soon realizes what he's done and arrives at the lab, only to be confronted by a much deadlier and more dangerous version of himself, the Alter Ego. After enduring its power, Larryboy verbally remembers he needs help from Archie and his friends, which causes the Alter Ego to shrink and eventually disappear, returning everyone to normal size. In retaliation, the Alchemist takes Bob hostage. After dropping him at Herbert and Wally's firing of jelly donut juice at him, he inadvertently releases the powder on his mother (Mother Pearl), who flings it back at him and shrinks him, after which they both are apprehended and arrested for their villainous acts.
Larryboy Super Short: "Cuke of All Trades!": It is Larryboy's birthday, so he decides to go into the city. For a Tuesday, it is unusually quiet, and Larryboy hopes no one has forgotten about his birthday. He goes into Mahoney's Bakery and decides to watch it while Mahoney himself goes out. Things turn to chaos quickly, resulting in the bakery and a candle shop across from it exploding on their interiors and Larryboy finding himself inside his own birthday cake. Mahoney returns and, along with all the other residents, wishes him a happy birthday.

| ShortSummary = At the toy store known as Mr. Snappy's Extremely Gigantic Toy Emporium, Larryboy tries to get a Hula Heidi doll with a pogo stick, but he accidentally knocked down a chemistry set and its chemicals are right next to the crazy clay sets thus creating the monstrous and destructive experiment known as the Crazy Clay Monster. The monster gives Larryboy trouble defeating it, but he made it fall asleep while he plays a toy saxophone. Larryboy is excited over the new Hula Heidi dolls, but Archie is less impressed considering Larryboy already has a full collection of them. Larryboy is devastated that the dolls are sold out, but Archie tells him that his favorite yodeler, Einger Warbulthroat, is performing. However, the performance goes wrong when Greta Von Gruesome kidnaps Eingel and takes him to her castle, demanding the delivery of all yodelers. With the help of Archie, Larryboy sneaks into the castle under the disguise of a yodeler and releases the trapped yodelers, but the group falls into a pit and are attacked by an army of Greta-controlled Hula Heidi dolls. After defeating the dolls with the help of the yodeling Einger, Larryboy apprehends Greta and she is arrested for her villainous acts. Eventually, the five rescued yodelers then put on a "Tribute to Larryboy" concert.
Larryboy Super Short: "A Polar Pickle!": At the zoo, Archie and Larry are taking pictures of the polar bears in the exhibit. A boy (depicted as a pickle) and his father (depicted as a carrot) visit a zoo and come upon the penguin exhibit. They get excited at them, but then the boy's father knocks his toy fish out of his hand, sending it plummeting down into the exhibit. Two of the penguins think that it's a real fish, but begin fighting over it while the boy cries over losing his toy fish. This prompts Archie to summon Larryboy, who pursues the penguins until one of them unintentionally helps him get the toy fish back to the boy. The boy and his father then come upon a polar bear exhibit. They get excited at them, but the boy's father again knocks the toy fish out of his hand, sending it plummeting down into the exhibit. The boy then again cries over losing his toy fish. Archie tries to summon Larryboy once again, but Larryboy proves to him that he's too exhausted from the penguin pursuit to do the task again.

| ShortSummary = Awful Alvin and Greta Von Gruesome are out of jail. After three flying pigs with bacon-and-egg guns shoot down the Larry-Plane, Larryboy is saved by the Dark Crow, who is the hero of Bumblyburg's neighboring town. The two team up and almost defeat Alvin and Greta in their science lab, but Larryboy makes a mistake and the two steal a machine called the Overeasy Egg Ray which turns anything not alive into eggs. Using it, they steal various antiques from a museum and kidnap Vicky. Larryboy and the Dark Crow are stripped of their supersuits, so they try to defeat Awful Alvin and Greta Von Gruesome but are captured themselves. After freeing themselves, Larryboy then proceeds to destroy the Overeasy Egg Ray but is knocked out. Larryboy is freed by the Dark Crow and the duo finally capture Alvin and Greta and send them back to jail.
Larryboy Super Short: "Merry-Go-Wreck": Larryboy agrees to do what Bok Choy is asking of a volunteer; clean a pile of erasers. Electro-Melon and Lemon Twist go to the Bumblyburg Amusement Park and accidentally destroy it over disagreements between each other. Larryboy, once finished cleaning the erasers, arrives to see the now-destroyed amusement park. He questions what Electro-Melon and Lemon Twist have been doing and asks them to abstain. The two then look around and take shame for what they've done to the amusement park. Taking Larryboy's advice to work as a team, they repair the damages and join him. After Larryboy politely congratulates for how great the food tastes like, the three eventually laughed. The three then begin walking through the now-repaired amusement park while eating cotton candy and popcorn.
Note 1: This is the only episode to be released in 2003.
Note 2: This is the final episode to release before Larryboys cancellation which is mixed with Big Idea's bankruptcy at the time.

Reception

{{Expand section|date=May 2016}}

The series was nominated for a Golden Reel Award in 2003 for Best Sound Editing in Direct to Video, but lost to The Adventures of Tom Thumb & Thumbelina.[8] Furthermore, according to the creator Phil Vischer, fans of the original VeggieTales series criticized the series for its cheap-looking animation as well as its design looking too similar to the art style of Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack, helped working on The Powerpuff Girls 1998 series) which viewers could watch on cable television instead. Mixed with Big Idea's bankruptcy at the time, the series ended after the release of only four videos.[9]

Home media

All of the episodes were released in VHS and DVD formats. The four episodes were also released in one addition in the Bumblyburg Super-Hero Value Pack (2004)[10], The Larryboy: Power Pack (2009), and the Larryboy Super Hero Power Pack (2012).[11]
