    Professional critics and the movie industry need to take notice and realize that parents and kids alike are screaming for more movies like this. We want solid values and clean laughs, and Jonah delivers!

    Fans of the show should see it, but not necessarily because I think they will enjoy it. Sure, the message is good, but for the small crowd of older Veggie Tales fans who live for the simple yet genius comedy of Silly Songs, the only pay off is practically nonexistant. My advice, if you actually intend on seeing this movie, is that you wait until the very last part of the credits for what is possibly the only funny part of the film. Heck, just fast forward through the whole thing. Expand

    A truly charming movie, this is obviously one of Big Idea's best works! I suggest that you see this movie, not only because the animation is clear, but because there is a nice message included. Plus, there is a lot of wacky humor and quick-witted jokes for the older ones. You should definitely see this movie!

    The movie's heart is in the right place, but all its messages of tolerance might resonate better if the Spanish-accented pirate didn't get drawn with a gold tooth and the turban-wearing Khalil wasn't an opportunistic rug merchant.

    The animation is competent, and some of the gags are quite funny, but Jonah never shakes the oppressive, morally superior good-for-you quality that almost automatically accompanies didactic entertainment.
  3. Young kids will be so distracted by the silly songs and clever contemporary references that they won't even realize they're sitting through cinematic Sunday school.
