Plot Summary
Get ready as Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber and the rest of the Veggie gang set sail on a whale of an adventure in Jonah, Big Idea's first full-length, 3-D animated, feature film. Filled with music, laughs and some of the silliest adventurers ever to be swallowed whole, this is the story of Jonah and the whales as you've never seen it before- a story where everyone learns that one of the best gifts you can give - or get - is a second chance.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The animation is competent, and some of the gags are quite funny, but Jonah ... never shakes the oppressive, morally superior good-for-you quality that almost automatically accompanies didactic entertainment.
Fresh: Bouncy animation and catchy songs keep the film from tasting too much like spinach.
Fresh: The main lessons Jonah attempts to teach are compassion and mercy. That's an unusual -- and welcome -- message these days.
Fresh: This animated retelling of the familiar Old Testament story is playful, high-spirited and unmistakably amusing.

wooooooohooooooo
this rocks!wish there was the video series.i'm 10 and the jokes are hilarious
Veggie-rrific
Fantastic childrens movie!!! Absolutely top quality, beautiful, funny, great music, and with a Biblical lesson. We've adored this movie since it came out and my 3 children still Love it. I could not recommend this highly enough!
Wow, on iTunes? Sweet!
I must admit, this movie wasn't the best and it is not like it couldn't have been better. But it is surprisingly entertaining and I give you my word. I love the scenes with the Pirates that Don't Do Anything. However, its the cartoony voice singing that throws me off. And I also love how they kept the Biblical ending of Jonah (although the caterpillar spoke God's voice). Its a very nice film to show to children and a decent film for those who love animation.
