Veggie Tales

I grew up on

VeggieTales! :smiley: I’m from a pretty religious family, so it was REALLY nice to finally have some actually-funny

humor at church.

Big Idea is actually coming out with another VeggieTales movie! :slight_smile: Either in 2008, or

  1. I can’t remember. Hopefully it’ll be as good as the videos. :slight_smile: (Does anyone remember if Jonah was any

good? I saw it in theaters, but only remember hating it. But then again, I was in that dumb tweenager phase where

everything is ā€œstupidā€ so I don’t necissarily trust my memory on that one. :/)

Yeah Jonah (unfortunately) sucked…In fact, I believe Big Idea Inc. went bankrupt because

they lost so much money! :unamused:

They did, actually. I remember reading about

that now- they were purchased by another company and that’s how they got to stick around.

Hopefully

they’ve learned their lesson, and maybe their next film will be much better. :wink: I sure hope so, because the

original videos were so great! Here’s hoping they bring their sparkle back.

I never saw Jonah. I became too

old for veggietales. Why did it suck?

[b]TSS

[/b]- Well, err…just about everything I guess! The animation was lame, the story a bad parody of a

story from the Bible, limited scenery, horrible songs…the list goes on! I’m probably not the best one to ask,

because I haven’t seen it in a while, but I think it’s safe to say that the talking veggies did not entertain

in their first one on the big screen! :unamused:

If I remember right- one of the reasons I hated it is because I think the ending to the movie wasn’t the

correct ending to the story as it was in the Bible. >:/ I know there was SOMETHING wrong with the ending- but

I haven’t seen it since it came out, so…

Well, I thought so too

– until I found that Jonah actually did reject God at the end of the story…kinda funny! :smiley:

I’m not sure if that was the bone I had to pick- but that is pretty funny. :wink:

Here’s

the Official Veggietales Pirates Web Site!

I love the score! I can’t

wait til the trailer come out online! :smiley:

Haha – I just saw that

yesterday! Big Idea is hilarious: They always base their scores upon other,

widely-known films. It also seems as if their computer animation skills have improved.

Interesting…

Yep, I’ll probably see this film in theaters, even though I’ll feel like a little kid

doing it. I love VeggieTales; always have and always will! :mrgreen:

Thanks for the link,

JV! :smiley:

It was

wierd. My mind was completely on veggie tales today. I mean, all thoughout lunch today, we were doing nothing but

singing our favorite veggietale songs.

The Star Swordsman - The disease is spreading… :stuck_out_tongue: (snigger)

Are you going

to see it in theaters, The Star Swordsman? Heheh. :wink:

Probably not. I kinda lost intrest in the newer

veggietales, so don’t expect me to see the movie.

Yeah, what happened to them? Ever since they went

bankrupt their films have lost their ā€œpepā€ and exhilaration. Rather disappointing, actually, but at

least their sense of humor still shines out in some of their productions… :wink:

And I don’t think I would like it.

After all, after been talking about Pixar, and other great animation, then you bring in this movie which doens’t

really compete with Pixar animation.

I think before Big Idea got big, they didn’t have to much of an emphasis on animation. After

all, they only had a Big Idea. Then, they focused on the morals and the story; now

they’ve lost some of that when they try a little too hard (in my opinion) to have good looking animation.

Gasduude - My thoughts exactly. [i]Big

Idea[/i]ā€˜s journey sort of took a turn for the worse. Back in the "good ol’ days" they

relied on ingenuity and creativity. Today, however, it seems to be more of a ā€œquality over quantityā€

induced circumstance/matter. The morals still exist, but on a rather deceased level.
That’s why Phil Vischer

began the ā€œJellyfishā€ project, to get back on coarse after ā€œJonahā€ flopped and

Big Idea went bankrupt…

Kinda sad, actually. At least their videos still

sell! I’m glad they do. Heh.

And, since Jonah did poorly, what makes this new Veggietales movie going to be any

different?

awww, Veggie Tales! I used to own all of the videos

when I was little, and whenever I was sick, or something bad happened, my Mom would buy an episode for me, as

a treat. :slight_smile: I still have the old videos I think… :open_mouth: haven’t seen them in forever… but I always liked

them, I didn’ t know they were doing another movie though.

Yay for VeggieTales! I love it!
Just as I collect all the Pixar and SpongeBob SquarePants DVDs, I collect the VeggieTales and occasionally catch them on TV on the weekends.
I can’t wait for the next one!
