Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie
Recommended. Age: 5+. A Catholic review of this movie for parents.
Our review
This is the Book of Jonah told with singing vegetables, and the heart of the book survives: God is merciful, and he asks us to be merciful to people we would sooner see punished. It is funny and clean. The one reservation is that jokes, pirates and a talking caterpillar are mixed into Scripture, so read the real book afterward.
For parents
Good for the whole family from about age five. The whale scene may scare very small children. Read the Book of Jonah together afterward and sort out what the film added. Ask: why was Jonah angry that God forgave Nineveh? Who is hard for you to forgive?
