Hermie and Friends

Hermie and Friends is an American Christian video series for children which ran from 2002 to 2010. The show is 3D animated and stars two caterpillars named Hermie and Wormie. The show started with a 40-minute Max Lucado video special called Hermie: A Common Caterpillar, based on his book of the same name. The show was turned into a video series that takes place before Hermie became a butterfly. Licensed products include Christian video games, which loosely follow the videos. It was also broadcast on the Australian Christian Channel and Disney Channel in Australia. Cast and characters Tim Conway as Hermie, a green caterpillar who soon becomes a butterfly. Hermie, before being a butterfly, goes on many adventures in Max Lucado's garden. He sometimes at the beginning of the video talks to Max referring to the video's topic. He is known to be the comic-relief most of the time and sometimes he goes "the wrong path" until Wormie warns him not to. Don Knotts (2002–2006) and John Causby (2007–2010) as Wormie, a cream white caterpillar who soon also becomes a butterfly. Wormie is Hermie's best friend. He, unlike Hermie, is more kind and friendly but tends to get mad when others don't do right. In most cases he tends to say Bible Verses and explains the meaning mostly to Hermie. He shows to love fruitcake and tends to repeat the word after hearing it. His catchphrase is "Oh boy, here we go again". Knotts died on February 24, 2006, shortly after recording his lines for "To Share or Nut to Share," which was released posthumously. John Causby took over for the remainder of the series.

She is also a big fan of the Water Beetles. Melissa Disney as: Lucy, Hailey's and Bailey's kind-hearted mother. As a mother, she tries everything to discipline her children and lead them to do the right thing and sometimes scolds them from disobeying as seen in "Buzby the Misbehaving Bee." She frequently references her marital status, yet her husband remains unseen throughout. On one occasion, a partial glimpse of him was caught, with his head carefully concealed, and it was disclosed that his name is Ricky. Hailey and Bailey, the red and black ladybug twins of Lucy. They are always into mischief and sometimes disobey their mother.
