    Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie

    ★★★½

    My husband recently befriended two Mormons who are leaving town today, so we invited them over for a movie and they chose this from our collection.

    I only ever watched one or two VeggieTales movies in my life on VHS, though I was quite young, and don't remember much from them other than the characters.

    Easily a new comfort movie. I've been sorting through my watchlist and this piqued my curiosity. I really love the feeling this film evoked, and I'm sure if I found it in high school that it would have altered my brain chemistry and I would have watched it every day for weeks on end.
