Sumo of The Opera (2004)
Sumo of the Opera was released on August 31, 2004 in DVD and VHS format. Subtitled "A Lesson in Perseverance", it teaches viewers the importance of working through adversity to accomplish one's goals. This was the first regular VeggieTales show produced by the new Big Idea, Inc. team after the purchase by Classic Media following bankruptcy sale in late 2003. The main story of the episode is a direct spoof of one of Gilbert and Sullivan's most famous works, The Mikado, as well as the Rocky film series, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Karate Kid with Larry starring as clown turned sumo wrestler Italian Scallion. The parody of the Mikado is so transparent in fact, that most of the music is credited to Arthur Sullivan himself.
