Critic Reviews

Kenneth Turan

This animated retelling of the familiar Old Testament story is playful, high-spirited and unmistakably amusing. It's nice to see that a sense of humor and a sense of values don't inevitably have to cancel each other out. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Uses humor and high spirits to entertain while spreading the Good Word. Much of this slick and sprightly CGI feature is sufficiently funny to amuse even the most resolutely unreligious parents who escort their little ones to megaplex screenings. Read full review

Curt Fields

There are entertaining little anachronisms, amusing lines and enough wacky frenzy to please the little ones. The movie clearly comes from a Christian perspective, but without being overly preachy. Read full review

Claudia Puig

The main lessons Jonah attempts to teach are compassion and mercy. That's an unusual -- and welcome -- message these days. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Though it's aimed at preschoolers, it's tuneful and funny enough to amuse any adult. Read full review

Mark Caro

Jonah may resemble an 83-minute Sunday school lesson, but at least it's a playful, colorful one, with spunky peas and tomatoes, chirpy kids' tune-- and bright animation that may not rival "Monsters, Inc." or "Shrek" but gets its points across. Read full review

Chris Hewitt

I'm not big on getting lectures from produce, and the Jonah story is not exactly fresh from the crisper, but Jonah is engaging enough for parents looking to introduce their kids to the veggiest story ever told. Read full review

Definite kid pleaser on this Bible story of the man who was swallowed by a whale and lives to tell about it so he can follow God's command to tell a city His message. Full of corny, but actually funny, jokes and humor.

I remember watching this as a kid and couldn't stop laughing at the humorous scenes involving everyone's favorite talking veggies. Years later I look at it and still find if funny in many ways. Maybe It's the well developed animated film that will be sure to bring the kid out in everyone,I remember watching this as a kid and couldn't stop laughing at the humorous scenes involving everyone's favorite talking veggies.

For those families out there who are Christian and have Christian children, show it to them, as you show them false information that is told by annoying characters and vegetables that are just so flat.
