Hermie and Friends is an American Christian video series for children which ran from 2003 to 2010. The show is 3D animated and stars two caterpillars named Hermie and Wormie.[1]
Author Max Lucado with people dressed as characters 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.[2] 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 in Australia.
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 (2003–2006) and John Causby (2007–2010)[3] 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.
Vicki Lawrence as Flo, at first she was called the lying fly, but she mostly tells the truth from now on but sometimes it takes it too far. She is a talkative pink fly. She is also a big fan of the Water Beetles.
Melissa Disney as Lucy, Hailey's and Bailey's kind-hearted mother to her twins Hailey and Bailey. 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." Her husband is never shown, but appeared once without his head being seen.
Hailey and Bailey are the red and black lady twins of Lucy. They are always into mischief and sometimes disobey their mother. Hailey's like of tomatoes and Bailey's like of blueberries is shown to be their main conflict in "Hailey and Bailey's Silly Fight."
Sam Mercurio as Buzby- at first a misbehaving yellow and black bee but is shown later on to follow the rules. Buzby is also an amazing speller (a pun to a spelling game called the Spelling Bee). He loves singing and playing the guitar as much as he loves spelling. He has a niece and nephew named Beebee and Buddy. Buzby’s voice and mannerisms are reminiscent of Elvis Presley as well as 50’s and 60’s greasers.
Sam Mercurio also voices Antonio, the leader of the brown ant army of the garden. He is a brave ant and helps protect the garden from bad things. He is sometimes shown wearing a soldier hat.
Sam Mercurio also provides the voice of Milt, a blue caterpillar with red spots who also is a neighbor of Hermie, as well as the voice of God, who listens to the bugs when they pray to Him and provides them with wisdom, guidance and love.
Frank Peretti as Puffy, the orange dragonfly who is shown in most episodes briefly.
Tahj Mowry as Webster, a blue and purple spider with yellow spots at first is afraid in a lot of things but later on is shown to be much braver by saying "God is with me". Webster is a smart young spider who wears glasses. He tends to scare others at first without realizing that he is scared of them. He is named after the famous dictionary, Webster Dictionary.
Third Day as The Waterbeetles, consist of Ringo, Lingo, Zingo, Stringo. They are a famous band in the garden.
Rick Burgess and Bill "Bubba" Bussey as Iggy and Ziggy, two brown cockroaches who sometimes are mischievous. They are mostly hosts in games or other events throughout the series.
Judge Reinhold as Stanley, at first was disliked by others due to being a stinkbug. Stanley is a stinkbug who mostly stinks when he's afraid. He is shown to be good at sports. Like Webster, he is disliked by others at first and both are afraid of many things, but Webster seems to be more scared in most things than Stanley.
Richard Kind as Milo, a green mantis at first does not know how to pray to God. Milo is a praying mantis, which is ironic to that he can't pray. He owns a snackshack in the garden as he mentions it has been in the garden for generations. He then learns to pray with the help of Hermie and Wormie.
Dan Lynch as Big Bully Croaker, a giant green bullfrog with a toothless mouth and purple prehensile tongue. He is the only antagonist to make multiple appearances. He causes trouble in the garden and tries to devour the bugs.
