Pirates of produce

New VeggieTales venture has a veiled message | David J. Sanders

Can a treacherous high-seas adventure transform shy, indolent, and insecure computer-generated vegetables into valiant produce? In The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything (rated G), the VeggieTales franchise sets sail on a moralistic and comical cartoon adventure that entertains the entire family.

Elliot (voiced by Mike Nawrocki), Sedgewick and George (both voiced by Phil Vischer) play cabin boys at a pirate-themed dinner theater until they are transported with the help of a golden orb back to a time and place in need of heroic deeds. The underachieving trio meets up with Princess Eloise (Laura Gerow), who mistakenly credits them with a noble calling. Reluctantly, they agree to help rescue her captured brother, Prince Alexander (Yuri Lowenthal), from the clutches of her evil, mechanically enhanced vegetable uncle, Robert the Terrible (Cam Clarke), as a means to get back home.
