Ahoy, Matey! In VeggieTales’ first feature-length adventure, Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, Bob, Larry and a virtual salad bar full of talking vegetables retell the story of the reluctant Old Testament prophet who fights God’s command to take His message of repentance to a wicked city.

When Bob and the gang get a flat tire on the way to a Twippo concert, they stumble upon a seafood restaurant where they meet The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything. Quickly realizing that the cranky group needs a lesson in compassion, the pirates tell the story of Jonah, complete with a talkative worm named Khalil and a city full of fish-slapping Ninevites.

Not only will this movie leave you giggling, but it will leave you thinking about compassion, forgiveness, mercy and second chances. Because the veggie version is silly, it would be a good idea to check out Jonah for the real story. But overall, this movie is a whale of a good time!
