A wonderfully entertaining and heartfelt film with positive life lessons and valuable insights for adults and children of all ages.

The music is always fun, voicework good and the colors bright and colorful.

While the movie is harmless, it lacks a certain spark to be really entertaining. Lots of the jokes are flat and obvious, without being awful.

Not only did I want to go to sleep the entire time, but I wouldn't watch this movie again if you told me my life depended on it.

Ahoy! There be decent family fare among the January junk seas!

As I wasn't expecting much, I must say that Pirates doesn't disappoint.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 1, 2008

...harmless fun for small kids...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 17, 2008

Young children appreciate all the bouncing shapes and bright colors (speaking of which, you might wonder why Robert the Terrible is a darker shade of green than any of his relatives), but anyone over six will be bored early and often.

I kept hoping someone would arrive on the scene with a Veg-O-Matic and put a stop to it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2008

Like steamed veggies: Good for you, but bland.

The notion of no arms, especially when they're sword fighting and the swords just sort of float in front of their bodies, seems like a long way to go to establish unique cartoon characters.

While there's adventure and clever gags... I could have done with a little more silliness and some more songs like 'The Hairbrush Song' and 'Bellybutton.'

| Original Score: B | Jan 13, 2008

The colorful but limited animation can seem static on the big screen, but the gentle humor and equally gentle lessons will appeal to younger children and long-time fans.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 12, 2008

It's full of mild goofiness and equally mild messages about believing in yourself. It's all good-natured enough. It just isn't actually good.

Will probably bring more tiny buccaneers into the VeggieTales fold, but some adult viewers may feel like walking the plank before the film is over.

| Jan 12, 2008

I have to admit that this animated VeggieTales endeavor is far more entertaining and artistically competent than anything offered in the last two Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 11, 2008

The trio learns that heroes come in all sizes, hardly a revelation to audiences of any age.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 11, 2008

This is no savvy Toy Story. It's a boilerplate plot like one you might find in any morning cartoon.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 11, 2008
