... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
... View MoreEvery now and then, a movie rolls out with a specific demographic in mind that ends up appealing to viewers of all ages. This movie is a perfect example of this. Regardless of your age, it's hard not to have a silly grin on your face when watching this absurd yet thought provoking tale. The comedy isn't just for kids, the gags genuinely are clever. I found myself in stitches at several moments. Furthermore, for a 2002 title, it has aged very well. It makes modern CGI in flicks like the 2016 action film "gods of Egypt" look amateur in comparison. And while presentation is certainly not everything in an animated film from almost 15 years ago, it certainly doesn't hurt. Furthermore, while it is a Christian inspired film with heavy thematic elements regarding religion, the appeal is again, universal. The preaching is limited to good morals that anyone could take to heart. Unlike certain critic of the film, ahem...DAVE, the main character "Jonah" represents an ideal morally righteous individual who serves as a good role model for the younger crowd, unlike so many characters today. Simply put, the movie was a sleeper masterpiece that deserves to be a cult classic. Though sadly under viewed and under appreciated, the film has no shining moments of glory. Rather the entire run length is a euphoric experience of bliss and enjoyment.-Tristan C
... View MoreAll in all a good movie for those who like to lie to their kids. The fact that "veggies" like to watch god destroy people for these sins is complete bunk. God destroys without discrimination. Very hard to watch if you find the hole god thing very tiresome. I only wish the "God" people would make something that shows how much god loves us and not bore us to death with mindless dribble and silly cartoons that even kids think is stupid. Only when they understand that fact can they begin to make entertaining movies for the youth of America and the world. Yes they look cute but what does talking vegetables teach them other than adults lie to them
... View MoreThought the movie was great. It was fast paced and a wonderful family movie. I took 14 children ranging from 4 to 13 and all of them loved it. Great moral and value lessons included in a fun and animated way. The songs and lessons through-out where terrific and memorable. The way it paused, reflected and continued was great and the way the movie connected the "story" part with the real-time part was great. Though the intention of the movie is to target children, myself and all of the adults that attended enjoyed it as well. The only negative thing I could think to add about the film, is the fact that it would have been nice if it went just a little longer! LOL.
... View MoreThis was a good first effort for Big Idea. It's a cute film, tells a good story, and is well done. But it seems somewhat subduec compared to the all-out humor of the VeggieTale videos, especially the earlier ones. Why don't the Pirates yuck it up more (and sing)? Why don't the french peas expand on the Monty Ponthon bit, instead of just hint at it? I feel like the film is a little too 'safe', perhaps trying too hard for commercial success. They'll get more success if they just relax, let down their hair, and do what they do best. That credits song at the end - that's the tone the whole movie should've had.And - wouldn't a 'silly songs w/Larry' short at the beginning be great?
