This movie is so entertaining that not a single second of this movie bores me! From the opening logo to the 2 songs in the credits, every single minute(83 in total) is a pure delight.
The movie starts out with Bob, Junior, his dad, Laura, and a few other Veggie characters in a van on the way to a concert. Turbulence causes the van to be stuck at an abandoned seafood restaurant, where they meet The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything- 3 lazy pirates who recall meeting the biblical prophet Jonah. With this memory, they teach the customers a lesson in how God wants us to give each other a 2nd chance when we do something wrong.
Jonah has some of the best songs Veggie Tales has to offer-2nd Chances is so catchy I recall dancing all over the living room floor as a kid...and a 16 year old. (Don't judge me!) There is also A Message From the Lord, Jonah Was A Prophet, Billy Joe McGuffery, Steak and Shrimp, and a few others.
The animation isn't Pixar level, but Veggie Tales is made by a company that had a limited budget. In fact, that is partly why the company went bankrupt a few months later.(Read the book Me, Myself, and Bob for more on that.) But the fun and the message is what really counts.
If you see this on a DVD, watch the outtakes, they are the best outtakes ever! I still laugh at them! They are on You Tube as well.
While there is not much else to say, I feel like more could be said. I have seen this numerous times and I will definitely see it many more times in my life. The great Bible story and moral is one that should be presented to anyone, whether or not they believe in God. Forgiveness is something we should all try to give.
Jonah is spectacular beyond words, with A Message From The Lord that all should hear...and enjoy.
