The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything - On DVD Tuesday
Friday, October 10, 2008 at 09:46PM VeggieTales - the cartoons with morals - have continued to entertain kids and adults for several years now. "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" is their second movie on the big screen and was released back in January. It brought in more than $4 million in opening weekend box office receipts and more than $12 million during its 2-month run according to BoxOfficeMojo.com.
In the movie, Larry the Cucumber, Pa Grape and Mr. Lunt, learn what it means to be heroes when a princess' ship is captured. These wannabe pirates were first seen in the sing-along song of the same name which you can find in one of their earliest animated videos.
Produced by Big Idea, the VeggieTales videos are well known for comical, friendly vegetables telling stories with a moral lesson. Many of the stories are straight out of the Bible including my favorite "Rack, Shack and Benny" (read: Shadrach, Meshach and Abendego). The story of three young men (or in this case, vegetables) who stay true to their God despite strong pressure from the king to worship other gods is a very powerful one.
In this video, Mike Nawrocki and Phil Vischer from Big Idea talk about the movie:
