The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything A VeggieTales Movie on DVD (Oct 14) 2008/10/13 20:22:06

Larry the Cucumber, Mr. Lunt and Pa Grape help a princess rescue her brother from a pirate villain!

A FUN AND FRESH PIRATE ADVENTURE STARRING THE BELOVED VEGGIETALES PALS! Complete with their trademark humor and silly songs! Features all of kids' favorite things: heroes, monsters, a princess and pirates! Filled with meaningful life lessons and safe, non-scary images.

Three lazy misfits - very timid Elliot (Larry the Cucumber), lazy Sedgewick (Mr. Lunt) and no self-confident George (Pa Grape) - dream of the day of putting on a show about pirates. With their own problems of might not having this dream come true, they soon find themselves traveling back in time into the 17th century and begin a quest to rescue a royal family from an evil tyrant, and learn about being pirates.

For THE PIRATES WHO DON'T DO ANYTHING, the second big-screen VeggieTales adventure, everyone's favorite computer-animated talking edibles embark on a time-traveling, seafaring journey. Voiced by co-creators Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki, George (aka Pa Grape), Sedgewick (Mr. Lunt), and Elliot (Larry the Cucumber) work in mundane jobs at a pirate-themed dinner theater. Longing for more but too lazy to change, the unmotivated threesome get their wish when a strange object transports them back to the 17th century, and they have to rise to the challenge of being real pirates.

Riffing off of the general themes of The Wizard of Oz and clearly sharing similarities with the Pirates of the Carribeans films, this movie, which is actually based on a VeggieTales song of the same name, uses its silly produce protagonists and their high-seas hijinks to instill themes of courage and assertiveness in its young viewers. Those looking for the blatant Biblical themes that are usually present in the popular video series (see the earlier JONAH film) may be slightly disappointed by their absence, but the VeggieTales characters still manage to convey plenty of positive messages amidst their exploits. While PIRATES doesn't hit Pixar levels of mass appeal, the movie is sure to entertain small children.
