It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Jonah: A Veggie Tales movie should only be the kind of fodder to show to kids who have gotten too bored with the boring Bible readings in Sunday school. But somehow, based on a recommendation from a friend (who sometimes leans towards the strange and abstract anyway), I watched the Veggie Tales movie and it is actually much better than should ever be considered. A first impression I had looking at the Veggie-Tales, even from afar, was that it looked like the healthy, slightly (only slightly) more coherent version of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which I am still mixed on. But it's a little different than that, at least as far as the movie goes.It is ultimately very silly and marketed more for a specific target group of kids- Christian kids looking for morals in the stories of the Old Testament, in this case being the tale of 2nd chances taken and missed and slipped up on with a prophet via a giant whaler- and yet there is an appeal as far as taking less than two pages of the bible and making it into a 75 minute movie. And it actually works at being unpretentious in its less detailed CG animation in this form. This isn't Pixar that one will be getting, but a lot of very clean-looking talking vegetables (where are their arms, minus the caterpillar guy, you might ask), and with a lot of extra-goofy songs; one of them is even a gospel tune, sung by angels whilst Jonah is trapped in the whale's belly. All I could think watching this scene was "wow, what the hell, no pun intended, is this?" That was much of the reaction I had to what went on, and I even got a few genuine surprises through the story as I wasn't totally familiar with it all.If there is any crossover appeal, aside for the parents in watching their kids having fun enjoying the coolest little figures out of cartoon-like abstractions, with creatures bouncy and bright and even very cute (those peas are about as adorable as Miyazaki creations, if less textured). It's nothing very special in the recent boom of computer animated features, but it's probably a whole lot less cynical (and maybe less cruel and sophomoric) than a lot of those films, and it is in a very oddly formed way almost brilliant.

All 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

I personally was not interested in seeing this film. My fiancee was, so we rented it. I would not say it was total crap... since it had some minor humor. But in general, this is a film for parents to watch with their kids. Parents who are into the whole Sunday school, and Bible study routine.This is not a good movie. The animation is cheese at best, the humor is weak at best, and the story is a 10 to 15 minute clip from the Bible turned into a 90 minute movie.My head hurt after watching 10 minutes of this film. I would rather choke on vegetables than watch them become animated and sing about God.If you're a Christian, and active with the church... this is right up your alley. If you're one of the normal viewing public looking for a laugh and NOT a sermon... well then this is not the video for you. This is not Ice Age, Bug's Life, or anything close. Do not let the commercials fool you into thinking that this is a Pixar type film, cause it is not.

Veggie Tales has done it again. Thank you for making a film this time that the whole family can sit down and enjoy. It's a wonderful thing that they do, the creators of Veggie Tales. They remind the children and adults for that matter, of how we should be living and what is important. They teach our children values and morels which we are so in need of these days. I feel sorry for the people who actually thought that this film didn't deserve a "10". And for THEIR CHILDREN. We must remember that the children are the future and whatever they learn so will the next generation. Teach them Love Peace and Happiness and that it is right to follow the Lord Jesus and not the world. God Bless You All.
