What happens

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie is a 2008 American animated adventure comedy film directed by Mike Nawrocki and written by Phil Vischer. Produced by Big Idea Productions, Veggie Pirates Productions, and animated by Starz Animation, it is the second of the two theatrical films to feature characters from the VeggieTales video series, following Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie (2002). The film stars the voices of Vischer, Nawrocki, Laura Gerow, Yuri Lowenthal, Cam Clarke, Alan Lee, and Tim Hodge. The film follows three lazy busboys—Elliot, Sedgewick, and George—who all dream of stardom despite being slackers. One day, they are sent to the 17th century via a magical "Helpseeker" to rescue a royal family from Robert the Terrible, an evil pirate. The film was released in theaters on January 11, 2008, by Universal Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb, grossing $13 million on a $15 million budget.
