I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Three lazy misfits - very timid Elliot (Larry the Cucumber), lazy Sedgewick (Mr. Lunt) and no self-confident George (Pa Grape) - dream of the day of putting on a show about pirates. With their own problems of might not having this dream come true, they soon find themselves traveling back in time into the 17th century and begin a quest. The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie is a lazy, dumb and pretty disappointing animation that despite the good looking animation and characters it's easily just a forgettable animated movie. (3/10)

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A Veggie Tales Movie (2008): Dir: Mike Nawrocki / Voices: Phil Vischer, Mike Nawrocki, Cam Clarke, Yuri Lowenthal, Laura Gerow: Surprisingly creative Christian theme animation that regards the hero that we can all be regardless of size or status. All the animated characters are here save for Bob the Tomato, who is revealed only in the conclusion as the film's director. One big issue is that these characters do not appear to have limbs, yet they seem to carry or pick up objects as if they had. We have Pa Grape, who fears that his children do not respect him as much as the hero in the play they're watching. Larry the Cucumber seems to fear everything, and Mr. Lunt works with him at the venue where the play takes place. Central plot regards an adventure they're swept up in involving a princess who desperately desires to rescue her brother, the prince from the evil Robert the Terrible. Along the way they encounter giant yet docile rock creatures as well as snack food that turns the tables and attempts to make snacks out of our heroes. The animation is colourful and the screenplay is surprisingly detail without being too complicated for children. Another plus is that it avoids being preachy where many Christian films fail. While the heroes rise above expectations, the screenwriters were obviously avoiding being labelled as not doing anything. Score: 9 / 10

I just got back from seeing this movie, which I went to see without my children because I wasn't sure how they would handle it. We are die-hard VT fans, but I was worried that the movie might be too intense for my three-year-old. The level of "scariness" is higher than in any other VT, and although it is a great, fun movie, (with an awesome if not hit-you-over-the-head obvious message), if your children are easily frightened I might wait until this one comes out on DVD. Put it this way: if you're such die-hard VT fan that pretty much the only TV your children watch is VeggieTales? This movie might scare them. If your children cried about the furnace in The Asparagus of La Mancha, this movie could be way too much for them to handle.Waiting for the DVD!!

I've been a fan of Veggie Tales since they came out. They were funny and sent a great message. This was possibly the most boring animated movie I've ever seen. Now granted I'm in my twenties but I still enjoy kids cartoon movies, so when I see one I don't like, I try to hear the reaction from the kids in the audience to see how they enjoy it. Aside from a chuckle every now and then, none of the kids were laughing during the movie. I think the main problem is that there's a lot of dialog. So, coming from a life long fan of the Veggie Tales, it's probably best to keep the kids at home and throw in one of Veggie classics.
