Storyline

When the singing Veggies encounter some car trouble, they're stranded at old, rundown seafood joint where nothing is quite as it seems. As Bob the Tomato and the kids settle in to wait for a tow truck to help get their van back on the road, the "Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" share a little story about a guy named Jonah. Jonah was kind of like a mailman except his messages came straight from God. Jonah loves his job, until the day comes when he has to deliver a message to the people of Nineveh. Instead of carrying out his mission, Jonah turns and sets sail in the opposite direction onboard a pirate ship. Soon Jonah embarks on an adventure that leads him into the belly of a whale, and to the heart of Nineveh for a hilarious showdown. Written by Anonymous

Refreshing!
12 October 2002 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I saw this film today with my wife and two year old,who absolutely loves these little talking vegetables.I must confess to loving them also,as they truly bring out the kid in me.Veggie Tales brings forth just the type of messages our kids need to hear in this day and age,because these are times when many children are being subjected to things that their minds are not ready to take on.Thank God we have someone out there who still cares about our children,and what their little minds take on.My two year old son gives this film a high thumbs up.As for me,and I'm sure many other adults out there,it is indeed a refreshing break from the profanity laden killfests that we are used to seeing.I applaud the people behind Veggie Tales and their efforts to send our kids good messages,and if any of them are reading this,here is my plea:"Please never go away!" On behalf of my family,I thank you!
