Parents seeking kid-friendly, Christian entertainment can be comfortable letting their kids watch Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, which turns the characters from the biblical story of Jonah into a bunch of talking cucumbers, asparagus, peas, and other vegetables. When God instructs the prophet Jonah to go to the wicked city of Ninevah to spread His word, Jonah balks and tries to flee by ship--only to end up in the belly of a whale. When he finally consents to go to Ninevah, things don't turn out quite the way he expects. The VeggieTales team uses computer animation and upbeat musical numbers to express Christian themes, but they do so without being painfully didactic. The animation (and the humor) isn't as sophisticated as that in Toy Story or Shrek, and kids may find some elements of the story confusing, but this may provide an opportunity for parents and kids to discuss values. --Bret Fetzer

 Loved the video !! March 18, 2010

I really loved this video. However, I am a grandmother and had bought this for my year old grandson. He loves the other Veggie Tales that are shorter. This one was way too long - my mistake not realizing it was a movie and not broken up into little stories. Definitely going to keep it when he gets older.

This is a fun movie for anyone of any age!! I got it for my 2 1/2 year old, but the whole family enjoys it! It's a great story and has great music too.
Superb! February 5, 2010

This was the first big screen Veggie outing. Funny, nice songs and a well made version of the Jonah account. This is my favorite Veggie Tales DVD along with the 'Heroes of the Bible' ones.
Wonderful gift for kids! January 24, 2010

I had this sent to my sister's, as it was a Christmas present for my nephews. They are twin 3-year-olds...They love it!!!! My sister also likes VeggieTales...it can be really difficult to find movies that are appropriate for children that young that the whole family will enjoy. This fits perfectly, especially if you are looking for a Christian-tilted selection. VeggieTales do a great job of conveying the Bible and Christian concepts in fun ways. Also, it arrived earlier than estimated.
I watch it just as much as my daughter does November 18, 2009

In my opinion, this movie tops anything produced by Disney. It is clever and funny and highly entertaining, but most importantly, tells why we need to have compassion and mercy for our fellow man. The main example of compassion and mercy in the movie is God's for the people of Ninevah. No greater example could be set. I am trying to teach my three year old that we do things because Jesus expects it of us and it's the least we can do to honor His sacrifice for us. This movie, I believe, is a great tool for helping with that goal. It is also a superior quality film. You won't be disappointed.
