Summary: Classic Veggie Tales!!!
Review: This was one of the finest films in this series, and it was amazing to think that it was released to the theaters nationwide. There were many interesting parts to this film, especially the beginning, which introduced you to the characters, and their ultimate need for Compassion and Mercy, which is what this Tale is about.If you love Veggie Tales, this is a must-see, and the introduction of a multi-legged little critter named Carlyle was an added plus. Then there was the music, and the gospel extravaganza in the belly of the whale is worth the price of the movie, not to mention the whale itself. A Fine Film. Great for the family, albeit maybe a tad too long for the young kiddies. But highly recommended!!!

Summary: Great story, but a bit too long for kids!
Review: This is another great video from Veggie Tales. We all know the story of Jonah so I won't repeat, but of course with this video it's told by your favorite Veggies in a very unique way, with a new fuzzy, multi-legged addition. My only complaint is that, at nearly an hour and a half running time, it's a tad too long for kids. In my own opinion they could have edited probably half an hour's worth of stuff out, and not only would it not detract from the movie, but it probably would have made it better. For instance, I could have done without the whole "family trip to see Twippo" thing, at the beginning and end of the movie. Nevertheless, it's still a worthwhile purchase!

Summary: This is so much FUN!!!
Review: When I first saw this movie, I actually cried, laughing so hard! When Jonah is in the belly of the whale, Some vegetable angels come and talk to him, there. Their hairstyles and dress remind you of the more richly pigmented members of this society, and when they start singing, they look and sound for all the world like a black church choir. That one scene is the one I always think of from this movie. When my son watches the video, I will often come in and watch it during that scene. I absolutely LOVE it! I think they captured the personality of the Biblical Jonah fairly well with Archibald playing the lead. While they tell the Biblical story of Jonah, they dress it up with aspects of the Veggie Tales assortment of characters that make it quite entertaining. The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything actually do, in this video -- they are participants in the story! The best things about VeggieTales are all there, only moreso in this movie length presentation. The jokes for the parents are there in full force, so we adults can enjoy it along with our children. I recommend it highly.

Summary: Fun but a little too silly
Review: I love the veggie tales movies and this one is a good one but not great. First, the music is wonderful. They really did a great job with music, esp. the gospel song from inside the whale. However, some of the story is just a little too weird for me--esp. with the fish slapping people. I felt that at times that they were shoving things in just to justify this being a full length movie.

Summary: Psuedo Christian Movie Misses the Point
Review: I appreciate Big Idea's attempt to make excellent children's movies that are pro Christian in their values. Veggie Tales are well done, humorous, and inventive, but unfortunately the feature film Jonah misses the mark when it comes to communicating the Christian message. The story is based on the Bible's rendition of the Story of Jonah. To Christians the Bible is the Word of God. However early in the story we are treated to a song and dance routine that mocks the "Message from the Lord" as irrelevant and frivolous at best. Jonah spouts out such statements as "don't eat bats don't eat pigs" and "don't do drugs, stay in school--I message from the Lord." I feel that this trivializes the very core of Christian doctrine, that God has revealed himself to us through the Word of God. The "message from the Lord" is the heart of our belief and not a trite and meaningless sound bite. As the movie goes on Jonah confronts the Ninevahites for thier sin of slapping each other with fishes and encourages them to start being nice to each other. Again Big Idea misses the heart of the message, for the people to turn from their wicked ways and give the Lord their worship. The Christian community is frustrated with the lack of Christian friendly programing. With Disney making movies celebrating animism (Lion King), ancestor worship (Mulan), Indian tribal religion (Brother Bear), and taking a good Christian character in Pocahontas and making her a pantheist, Christians are looking for alternatives. I feel that the blatant errors presented in the aforementioned Disney flicks are far less dangerous than the more subtle undermining of Christian doctrine in Jonah. For a truly Christian movie try Finding Nemo.

Summary: Great start...Congratulations Big Idea for the hard work!!!
Review: This movies is really good. In my option the Big Idea Productions are going to be big competidor of the Disney /Pixar productions. This movie, for example has excelent songs and the action is really good. It is quite funny too. I would recommend to anybody.

Summary: Child fell asleep while watching it
Review: We saw this in the movie theater. My husband and I both nearly died of boredom as did our son who was four years old at the time. Our son has never requested to see any other Veggie Tales after his experience with this movie.
