Movie to come out, which I'm cautiously optimistic for, I decided to watch and review Universal's ACTUAL first fully computer-animated film predating Despicable Me by 2.5 years, albeit a distribution-only film rather than in-house like Illumination's magnum opus. Here's the review: Departing from the Christian morals that make VeggieTales what it is, it was perhaps to be expected that The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything wouldn't be as good as Jonah but I didn't think this would be that underwhelming. Sure, the animation's nice despite the very small budget of $15 million*, the songs are enjoyable, I thought the villain's design looked cool and little kids will likely be distracted by the silly antics but this movie starring the fan-favourite trio was not good. The script is cheesy and lacking in wit, the story's a generic "chosen one" narrative that plays its clichés straight such as the "unsure of themselves" protagonists, a treacherous uncle and the father wanting to be a role model for their children to look up to and it's hard to root for our would-be heroes when only one of them actually has some semblance of a proper character arc. Their character development feels unearned when only one of them is actually motivated to be a hero. I don't think this film is obnoxiously bad or anything but, when compared to Jonah, this certainly felt like it went from VeggieTale to VeggieFail. *It is fairly obvious the animation studio didn't have much of a budget to work with since it largely takes place at sea and on scarcely populated islands which makes the world feel depressingly empty, outside of the present-day sequences. Jonah came out 6 years earlier with nearly the same budget but still managed to make two cities populated and full of life, although maybe I should give them some leeway since the animation was produced by a different company rather than in-house at Big Idea See more Luiz Henrique S @RT07264626 01/17/2023 I Love the Veggietales, the movie is so cool and funny, i Love so much, i Loved See more 04/26/2022 Very, very good movie!
