 Rating:  - A Story With Allegorical Elements, Time Travel, and Talking Vegetables.Several years ago when Big Idea Productions hadn't gone bankrupt and Phil Vischer was still the man who everyone thought was running the company, he wrote a script for a motion picture that featured characters from the Big Idea universe, but in a non-Biblical story. The movie was about the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything and was written several years before production even started on PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. Unfortunately, Big Idea went bankrupt and the movie was forgotten and could have been a lost relic. But thank goodness it wasn't and Vischer and Big Idea came together once again for THE PIRATES WHO DON'T DO ANYTHING. The movie begins aboard a ship under attack by pirates in the 17th Century. Led by Robert the Terrible, the banished brother of the King, the pirates capture Prince Alexander. Robert is furious at his brother and intends to use the Prince as a pawn to win the King's throne. Alexander's sister, the Princess Eloise, and their butler Willory escape from the pirates and use a device the King has created (a nod to THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA hear) to call for help. Meanwhile in the present day, Elliot (Larry the Cucumber), Sedgwick (Mr. Lunt), and George (Pa Grape) are servers at the Pieces of Ate Dinner Theater. The place is a popular entertainment destination for families and the trio all dream of eventually working not serving food, but as starring members of the cast in the show. Taking a cue from THE WIZARD OF OZ, the three friends each have different ... Read More Rating: - My children LOVE this DVDIt always cracks me up to read the serious reviews of cartoons! The bottom line is......the kids love it! As for not feeling for any of the characters............even I choke up where the creators intended viewers to do so. The take off on the B52's Rock Lobster (Rock Monster) sends my whole household into a dance. This DVD is worth every penny. As for the doctrinal/Christian aspect of Veggie tales, we go to church on Sunday for those lessons........these shows are good clean fun. Rating: - Not Doing Something Has Never Been So AdventurousPirates was the first movie that my young son watched entirely in the movie theatre. He loves those silly vegetables and so do I. While he watches he does not even realize the important values he is learning, but I am gladened to know he is exposed to wonderful teaching moments. The story follows three pitiful veggie friends who are called to perform the most impossible task. They must overcome self-doubt, laziness, and unrealistic fears if they are to succeed. And that is probably something all of us fight at one time or another. Another great feature is the extended ending. Very funny scene which had my wife and I laughing at loud in the car as we sat at the Sonic Drive-In. Pick up a copy of this and I promise your family will not be disappointed. You will end up being the hero, just like our favorite veggie friends. Rating:  - "What Kind of B Movie Am I In?"Imagine a world where vegetables sail the seven seas and the most fearsome pirate is the one with arms and legs, albeit mechanical arms and legs. That's the world of the new VeggieTales release. And it's a full length film. The movie opens in the 17th century. We are on a ship that is being captured by pirates. While brave Prince Alexander tries to fight them off, he is ultimate captured. Unfortunately, the pirates are being led by Robert the Terrible. Not only is he the king's banished brother, but he has also used mechanics to create arms and legs (well, one leg and one peg leg), making him the most fearsome pirate around. The one thing he wants most is his brother's throne, and he intends to use the prince and princess to get it. Unfortunately for him, Princess Eloise and the butler Willory (Archibald Asparagus) have escaped capture. And they use a contraption the King has created to send a plea for help. Fast forward to the present day. At the Pieces of Ate Dinner Theater we meet Elliot, Sedgwick, and George (Larry the Cucumber, Mr. Lunt, and Pa Grape.) They work as Cabin Boys (waiters), but long to be in the show. Unfortunately, Elliot has a list of things he is afraid of, Sedgwick is just plain lazy, and George lacks self-confidence. And these three misfits are the ones the plea for help finds. Before they really know what is happening, they find themselves on board the ship with Willory and Princess Eloise on a quest to rescue Prince ... Read More Rating: - VeggieTales is Cute and Entertaining Fun for the Whole FamilyAvast ye maties! This be a tale of pirates, but it isn't the one you're thinking of. That ones over for now. No, this one is about three vegetables who defy all odds to become heroes. In "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie." George, Sedgewick (both Phil Vischer) and Elliot (Mike Nawrocki) were simple cabin boys working at a pirate-themed restaurant when they find a ball that sends them back in time to the 16th century. While there, they are told by a princess that they must save her brother from an evil pirate. Though they know they're not heroes, they accept and end up on an adventure of nutritious proportions. In this day of incredible computer-aided animation and scripts written to keep audiences laughing, it is easy to get caught up in the quality of the production and the non-stop barrage of jokes while losing sight of another objective that a good movie for kids might--or even should--attempt to achieve: communicating the value of virtues. It is rare that a movie can pull off all three, and I have to believe that effectively communicating values (without preaching) is the most difficult of the three. The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything comes close on all three counts. The animation is good, but it does not amaze. The story has moments of laughter and emotion, but you don't end up caring about many of the characters. And it makes it clear that doing the right thing and being willing to make sacrifices for others is important and worth the effort. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
