Phil Vischer

Phil Vischer (born 1966 in Muscatine, Iowa) is a writer, actor, animator, puppeteer, and along with Mike Nawrocki, the cofounder of Big Idea Productions, the company best known for bringing computer-animated vegetables to life in the popular "VeggieTales" series. Vischer led the company through 2003, when it was sold to Classic Media as part of bankruptcy proceedings, and he chose not to remain with the new company.

Since leaving Big Idea, Vischer has started a new creative shop called Jellyfish Labs where he and a small team work to produce faith-based media for children and families. Vischer and Jellyfish are based in Wheaton, Illinois. He also still works with Big Idea on a contract basis, writing scripts and performing many of the voices for new VeggieTales productions. In 2006, Vischer exercised an option to renew his contract with Big Idea.

Vischer's family also played a major role in the VeggieTales voice work. His wife Lisa Pautz whom he wedded in 1989 voiced Junior Asparagus, and his daughter Shelby voiced the role of Annie the Scallion Girl. The role of Annie was given to Mike Nawrocki's daughter Ally in 2005.
