  Subtle, but wonderful message

  by

  The message of this movie may not blatantly obvious, but anyone who believes in God and His power, the ending will leave you with tears. I won't spoil the end for those of you who haven't seen yet, but a similar feeling you get at the end of Narnia. The message is clear, God loves you and needs you. This movie doesn't follow the typical VeggieTales format, but I think this may get more non-Christian families to go. My son is five and this movie was a great springboard for us to talk about God, what He is, and what He can do. If nothing else, this is a great children's movie that isn't violent, has some adult humor (that isn't inappropriate--i.e. Edward Scissorhands), good songs, and a good message for everyone (doing what is right). I strongly recommend this movie and I will buy it the day it is released, I may even go to the theater again to see it.

  The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything - A VeggieTales Movie

  by SkyHi

  ABSOLUTELY amazing! The storyline is ingeniously CLEVER. This hidden message empowers any and every child to know that he/she CAN become a REAL hero. This serving of Veggies is TRULY good for our little ones...and even appeals to parents and grandparents. Big Idea, you've done it again...and even better! Congrats for wrapping a story of what it REALLy means to be a hero in a hilariously wacky and every-minute-jam-packed-full of excitement story of the adventures of these just, plain lovable Veggie pirates! We love you!!!!! Keep 'um coming. We need more.

  The Pirates Rock!

  by bgrumpie2

  The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything is a fun family film. It has humor for both children and adults. My children love Veggie Tales. My youngest, age 5, loved playing the drums along with ROCK MONSTER, the fun song at the end of the movie. It gives symbolism of God, our King, and how He always supplies the help we need. We saw it in the big theatre twice. We will anxiously await its arrival on DVD.

  Great Family Film

  by tdi

  In this world of non-values and care less attitude this is a great family film that will entertain not only the children, but also the adults in your group. More studios should invest in value-based stories, congrats to Big Idea for having the courage to step up and lead the way.

  Fun flick

  by hmm23

  My child and I thougth the movie was a lot of fun. More of a new take on the Wizard of Oz theme than biblical - the Veggie Tales' standard plot line basis. Some age appropriate suspense and fun one liners for the parent set. Not as fast paced as a Pixar or Disney animation. Stay for the credits for an added music video which was a riot. One disappointment was that the Veggie Tales' version of the song "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" was not in the movie as my child had hoped and expected.

  Fun, Laughs and Positive Messages!

  by DawgGrowl

  If you're any type of fan of VeggieTales (Larry the Cucumber is my favorite), you will certainly enjoy this feature film! I've seen this film twice. The first time there was light attendance (weekday matinee), but on Saturday afternoon, it was the laughter of the parents & adults which caught my attention during the film. The dialogue has many fun for kids, but humor for adults as well...helping make this a true family film. Positve messages of "doing the right thing" and taking others in consideration prevail. All this is Cheesey Curls, to boot!

  They got arms!

  by DadsBuying

  Having a technical background, its good to see them branching out with limbs on the new character. Its also good to see that the creators don't take themselces too seriously, it makes the entire package a lot of fun.
  
  The kids loved it. The 7 year-old says its rated 10 in funnyness (spelling?). The 11 year-old is singing the "Rock Monster" lyrics again now that I reminded him of the movie. How do they remember that in one sitting?
  
  The story-moral seemed muddy - unlike the movie "Jonah" or thier half-hour productions. Yes, you get the religous message but they are never heavy about it. The pirate movie seemed like it was going for a heavy message but was backed out by something in a business community; and the analogy made just didn't work for me. Kids were fine with it though. That was a shame. We aren't church-goers but we make sure the kids see all the vegitales because the messages are good, honest, valueable and pertinent.
  
  The movie is solid for kids and we recommend it.

  Clean, Creative Entertainment

  by varoomba

  This movie is a lot of fun - and on top of that it is clean and even instills values. Your kids (and you) will walk away knowing that a hero is someone who does what's right "even when its' really, really hard."
  
  Highly Recommended.
