Universal Pictures has nabbed distribution rights to Big Idea's animated The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything -- A VeggieTales Movie. The studio plans to release the film theatrically in North America in 2008, making it the second "VeggieTales" property to hit the big screen.

The deal for "Pirates" covers worldwide theatrical and home video rights, though Universal's distribution plans have not been finalized in all territories.

Big Idea's first theatrical release, Jonah -- A VeggieTales Movie, grossed a surprising $25.6 million in the U.S. in 2002.

"Pirates," which will be directed by Mike Nawrocki, written by Phil Vischer and produced by Big Idea's David Pitts, puts familiar characters from the series in a pirate adventure.

Barbara Manaaaateeeee (manatee, manatee)....you are the one for meeeee (one for me , one for me).

Veggie tales is cool stuff for kids. Good messages. Haven't seen their first feature film, but more stuff with nice values and messages out there for kids can't be bad.

Oh, where is my hairbrush? Oh, where is my hairbrush...?

My kids and I love Veggie Tales. We have most of their videos. Good stuff.

I absolutely love VeggieTales. My kids enjoy them as much as any other movie that we own.

You are my cheeseburger, my lovely cheeseburger
I'll wait for you, Oh I will wait for you!

I usually boycott the movie theatres because of the high prices nowadays, but I would take my kids to see this, and own it on DVD when it becomes available.

Plot Summary: From the creators of 2002's wildly successful "Jonah--A VeggieTales Movie" comes a new story of heroism in the beloved VeggieTales' world, "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything." Now, we follow the comic misadventures of three animated veggie pals who reluctantly set sail for adventure and discover that real heroes don't have to be tall, strong, handsome...or even human.

Garrrrr! Working at The Pirate Times Dinner Theater is less than exciting when you're a busboy. For three moping misfits-- Elliot, Sedgewick and George (Larry the Cucumber, Mr. Lunt and Pa Grape)-all they dream of is the day when they can ditch their dishrags and take stage to star in the big pirate show.

But with Elliot's timidity, Sedgewick's laziness and George's lack of self-confidence, it seems as if the day to prove who they really are will never come...

Things are about to change when a mysterious ball drops from the sky and lands at the unlikely seafarers' feet. A "Helpseeker" sent from the past in search of heroes, the artifact sets in motion a series of events that drags the friends back to the 17th century--and into the belly of certain danger. The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything must each face their fears--becoming unlikely heroes in a battle to rescue a royal family from an evil tyrant, and themselves from living the life of common couch potatoes.

The latest in a franchise that has sold over 40 million DVDs/videos since its 1993 inception, "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything--A VeggieTales Movie" continues the hit series' values-based lessons in teaching kids what it really means to be a hero.
