In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Three lazy misfits - very timid Elliot (Larry the Cucumber), lazy Sedgewick (Mr. Lunt) and no self-confident George (Pa Grape) - dream of the day of putting on a show about pirates. With their own problems of might not having this dream come true, they soon find themselves traveling back in time into the 17th century and begin a quest. The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie is a lazy, dumb and pretty disappointing animation that despite the good looking animation and characters it's easily just a forgettable animated movie. (3/10)
This movie is not likely to win (or be nominated for) any awards. But that does not change the fact that it was an amusing distraction for the children. It seemed to be a variation of Galaxy Quest, which was a fun movie itself. This, of course, was more kid-oriented, and my three children (ages 3, 6, and 9) all enjoyed the show - the 9 year old enjoyed it in spite of himself.It was a cute movie with a positive message that used humor to advance the story as opposed to a movie that makes up a story to move from pratfall to pratfall. It's a rare treat in movie-making these days, and one that is worth checking out - at a matinée.
I took the kids to see this one, and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves (even the teenager!). Personally, I got a kick out of the story; with all the twists and turns, you never know what is coming next, or where it will all lead. There are realistic personal situations for our favorite veggies to deal with, plenty of action to keep things moving along, and all the laughs and silliness that we have come to expect from Veggie Tales. The moral was there, of course, presented so wonderfully and cleverly that even the secular audience grasp and appreciate the lesson. Once again, Big Idea has served us up a delightful tale for the entire family, that children of all ages can see with no worries by their parents.
I just got back from seeing this movie, which I went to see without my children because I wasn't sure how they would handle it. We are die-hard VT fans, but I was worried that the movie might be too intense for my three-year-old. The level of "scariness" is higher than in any other VT, and although it is a great, fun movie, (with an awesome if not hit-you-over-the-head obvious message), if your children are easily frightened I might wait until this one comes out on DVD. Put it this way: if you're such die-hard VT fan that pretty much the only TV your children watch is VeggieTales? This movie might scare them. If your children cried about the furnace in The Asparagus of La Mancha, this movie could be way too much for them to handle.Waiting for the DVD!!
