Looking Closer

The main characters that us kids know and love disappear. We're introduced to a new cast, and they really aren't very funny or interesting.

Rated: C+

I remember loving this movie as a kid since I was huge Veggietales fan. And upon a rewatch as an adult, the movie still holds up surprisingly well. It's goofy and silly sure, but the movie is able to balance it with the themes of compassion and mercy which are very important to teach to children. Also "God of Second Chances" has no business going so hard. Whether you're rewatching this movie as an adult or show the movie to your children, it's a very entertaining movie.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This is easily a quotable classic over the years and is one of the best films from 2002 and deserves to be praised by everyone who gives a second chance and have mercy. 10/10
