CHICAGO -- The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and Thowback Films with Vince Vaughn have entered into a new agreement this summer in an effort to bring "Davey and Goliath" to a new generation of children with a live-action version of this classic children's television show.
Davey and Goliath is a classic stop-motion animated television series starring Davey Hansen and his talking dog, Goliath. Aired on commercial television in the 1960s and 1970s, Davey and Goliath is a property of the ECLA. The church's mission with Davey and Goliath is to bring "moral and religious faith-based values to a new generation of children in lively and engaging ways." What better way to achieve this than to bring Vince Vaughn into the role of a slightly older, much taller Davey? It's not known who else will sign on to the project, but Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller have expressed interest in appearing in some capacity.
We are excited that Davey and Goliath's first major motion picture agreement is with such a phenomenal actor as Vince Vaughn," said Jack Smithers, Internal Functionality Engineer at their headquarters.
"ECLA and Throwback Films will be wonderful partners, and with their commitment to quality, family-friendly content, they share my vision and will play a significant role in the current re-launch plans for the ECLA's Davey and Goliath property," said Vaughn. Earlier this year the ECLA and Animation Content entered into an agreement to garner more visibility for Davey and Goliath and help secure its return to television.
"We are delighted with this development in conjunction with several other initiatives that are currently under way for the re-release of the classic animated episodes, and the release of the new modern-day Davey and Goliath holiday special, 'Davey and Goliath's Snowboard Christmas.' These important developments, along with other licensing and merchandising efforts, will help ensure that children and families today have the opportunity to be exposed to these lovable characters and timeless value-based messages," Vaughn said. Vince's only resistance to signing on to the project was that Davey always wore red plaid shirts, while Vince's preference is blue.
I also posted it below because it will disappear from eBay in a few weeks. The graphics are great!
"Vince Vaughn is Haunting My Girlfriend So Now I Have to Get Him Out of My House!"
The Nightmare:
"I was sitting in a hospital room waiting for someone. The hospital stench filled my nose, you know the smell, that smell that you can't describe but is found in all hospitals. There was no one else in the waiting room, not even anyone at the registration desk. I sat in silence, breathing in the stench. I was waiting for something, but I didn't know what.
Suddenly an ambulance pulled up. It was a red like a firetruck, and the lights were really bright; like a huge spotlight. I closed my eyes to block out the light. I heard panicked voices all around, so I opened my eyes. I was no longer sitting in the waiting room; I was pushing someone down the hall in a stretcher. The person had a blanket over their body so I could not see them.
I took the blanket off their face so I could see what was wrong. The person on the stretcher was Vince Vaughn. His skin looked like an ant farm, with little worms crawling in and out of holes in his face. I can't even begin to describe it. It was gross. As soon as I pulled back the blanket he began talking. He was doing the usual Vince Vaughn rant where it seems like he is 'improv'ing his lines in a movie.
A doctor came up to me and said that he would take it from here. He wheeled Vince into a room and shut the door. I just stood there and could hear muffled voice from the other side. I put my ear to the door to try and figure out what they were saying, when someone in the room started screaming. I stood back from the door and looked near the bottom of the door. Worms and maggots were crawling out from under door and moving towards me. That's when I woke up."
"Vince Vaughn: YOU OWE ME A NEW TV!"
So that was her dream. It didn't seem that scary to me, but of course it wasn't my dream. Sometimes dreams can really affect you. It seems this dream really affected her.
Later that night while we were watching TV, a preview for the movie Fred Claus (starring Vince Vaughn) came on. This seemed to cause some kind of flashback for my girlfriend because she had a little freak out. She grabbed the copy of "Made" that we had watched the night previous (for some reason I always stuff the case of the movie we watch into the edge of the couch) and tossed it at the TV. The throw would have put Nolan Ryan to shame. When the case made contact with the TV it made a loud bang. The DVD case bounced halfway across the room! I just stared at her with the "have you lost your mind" kind of stare, and then she yelled "Get that movie the $%&# out of our house!" I then gave her the silent, panicked, I'm scared nod.
Later on that night I went to inspect my precious TV to see if it was alright. It wasn't alright. She chipped the TV. I couldn't believe it. The DVD case put a chip in my TV. Now when ever I watch TV, it looks like there is a bug crawling on it. This is going to drive me to have nightmares!

She Put a CHIP IN MY TV
Now she wants me to get rid of the movie. I just bought it a few days ago! I think she wanted me to just throw it in the garbage, so that we could get Vince out of our house and get on with our lives. Throw it out? No way! Like I said before I just bought it! I'm not cheap or anything and if it means she will be happy I'll get rid of it, but there are principles involved. I can't throw away a movie I just bought a few days ago. I can't even return it. The toss at the TV did some damage to the DVD case and I am pretty sure I could not get a refund.
I really wanted to pick up a copy of Wedding Crasher's as well. I am glad I didn't. I guess I'll have to wait until this whole thing blows over. If it ever blows over!
In fact it may never blow over! Especially if I keep taunting my girlfriend with Vince Vaughn. I think this whole situation is way to hilarious so I decided to make fun of it. I sent her an email that included a line of dancing Vince's. I am not sure how she will react, but when she does I will let you know and post it on my ABOUT ME PAGE
The DVD and the case are in great condition aside from the damage from the throw to the TV.
I have started the bidding low at 99 cents to encourage people to bid and help me get it out of my house. I will also include FREE SHIPPING to anywhere in Canada or the US (excluding Hawaii).
Due to the fact that my girlfriend never wants to see this item ever again ALL SALES WILL BE FINAL.
If you have any questions please CONTACT ME THROUGH EBAY MESSAGES and I will answer them. I will also post all the questions and answers to this auction on this page in case others may have the same question.

This is brilliant. Every time I watch it, it gets funnier and funnier. I had no idea this was made back in 1997. The guy who does Karl is dead-on.
Also worth mentioning is the hilarious trailer parody, Brokeback Swingers (actually there are two Brokeback/Swingers parodies that I know of, but the other one isn't as good).
