Actually, we watched the movie trailer about nine thousand times before the movie even hit the theaters, so we've been fans even longer. When my 6 and 4 year old kids were introduced to VeggieTales as toddlers, I was leery of the shows, thinking they would be preachy or annoying, but they are in fact, sweet, funny, witty, clever, very well done and very entertaining. Even for grownups! I'd take Silly Songs with Larry any day over The Wiggles or -gasp- Barney.
The well-written stories, some bible inspired, some not (Pirates is not) teach kids how to act and react to things they will encounter in their lives (greed, lying, bullies, new siblings, etc.) with entertaining examples and lots of silliness.
BUT back to the Pirates. Several wonderful messages are wrapped nicely in a fun story everyone will love. The main theme: you don't have to be the biggest, the strongest, or the best looking to be a hero; you just have to do what is right, even when it's tough to so so. Even a cabin boy can do what's right. Even a princess can do what's right. Anyone can be "a hero". What a wonderful message to send our kids, and ourselves.
Even those not familiar with the characters will be able to enjoy this full-length movie. There's a new "alternate ending" that we have watched about ninety-two times since buying the DVD last Saturday (very cute). They even edited out the one little line I didn't like on the big screen (Mr. Lunt's character, Sedgewick, had in a fit of anger said he "hated" his friend Eliot [Larry], which seemed too mean and out of character-- hooray, that word I don't like my kids to say has magically vanished!). Fun, Fun, and very well done. While you're at it, buy Lord of the Beans. If you've seen the trilogy the show's based on, you'll get plenty of inside references that go over the kids' heads. Buy all the VeggieTales shows, they're great!

What a great, fun movie! I enjoyed this Veggie Tales movie so much & so did my 5 yr. old daughter. It has lots of "jokes for the grown ups" as I call them, especially at the end - B52's fans prepare to dance! This movie also manages to work in a spiritual message at the end, but does it so subtly that non-believers won't feel preached at in the least. The spiritual aspect is what I like most about Veggie Tales in general, as a teaching tool for my child, and even my atheist spouse gets some laughs out of most of the shows. This movie is one that will appeal to all types of parents and kids.
Excellent Movie for Kids and Grownups! July 22, 2008

We took our 1-year-old to see this in the theater (his first movie experience). We all loved it (although the rock monster did scare him a little). My only complaint is that it has taken nearly a year for it to come out on DVD!
