Background[]
Appearance[]
Junior, like most vegetables, have white eyeballs with black pupils. He has green hair and his body is green. He usually wears a yellow-and-red hat in a tilted direction.
He is sometimes seen wearing his shirt, which is a polo with red-and-white stripes.
In VeggieTales In The House and VeggieTales in the City, he no longer wears his hat, and his eye colors change into amber.
In the VeggieTales Show, as the characters use their classic designs from the original VeggieTales, Junior reverts back to his classic appearance, but he remains hatless.
Biography[]
Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie[]
Junior appears as one of the major characters in Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. His father, Mike Asparagus, and Bob the Tomato were driving him and his friends to see a concert performed by the popular singer Twippo. Junior is annoyed by Laura Carrot when she teases him about her ticket she won from a Twippo contest, before she later loses it. The Veggies then crash at the bottom of a hill and spot a seafood restaurant.
In the restaurant, Junior furiously blames Laura for losing her own ticket, causing Laura to angrily leave him. Junior then reads the seafood menu before being confused when he sees "Compassion". Soon, he meets the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, who tell him that he was being cold to Laura and that he should show some compassion to her. Junior asks the Pirates to tell him what compassion means, to which the Pirates tell him the story of Jonah.
When the Veggies hear that God wished to help Jonah when he saw that Jonah needed help, Junior remarks that this was compassion. He then looks at Laura and it seemed as if he wanted to show Laura compassion, only for her to make an irritated face at him.
After the Pirates end the story with Jonah not learning anything, Junior became confused and asked them what Jonah learned. Mr. Lunt tells Junior that the question was not what did Jonah learn, and that what they learned. Junior responds that he learned that they needed to help people who needed help, and that they needed to give second chances, even to those who do not deserve them.
Just then, Twippo unexpectedly appears in the seafood restaurant, and Junior tells him that they were going to their concert tonight, but they had trouble on the way, so it looked like they were not going to make it at all. Fortunately, Twippo tells the Veggies that he will take them on his bus. The Veggies were excited, before Junior notices how depressed Laura was because of her lost ticket. Junior approaches Laura and tells her she can have his ticket, as he gives her his ticket. Laura is reluctant at first, but she later takes Junior's ticket.
