Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie

Hopping, talking, singing vegetables are the stars of this impressively computer-animated retelling of the Book of Jonah. The crisper characters of a popular video series make their feature-film debut with this humorous, musical, message-laden adventure that takes numerous liberties with its biblical source in the name of entertainment and enlightenment. The VeggieTales bunch led by Bob the Tomato crosses paths with the world’s laziest buccaneers, The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything, during a pop-concert road trip and learn about giving and getting second chances, responsibility, civility and knowing right from wrong. The filmmakers want the audience to walk away remembering that God loves everybody—not just the audience members—as it provides its target audience of youngsters enough stimulating eye and ear candy to make its moral medicine go down.
