The Onion likes Veggie Tales

Veggie Tales gets The Onion on their side, even though there is no onion in the movie. Quote from The Onion - "Filling the movie with pop-culture references and irreverent humor (at least in this context), the Big Idea team has clearly absorbed the lessons of The Simpsons, even if VeggieTales seems like the sort of entertainment the Flanders kids would watch while everyone else tunes into The Itchy And Scratchy Show. In catering the story to provide a nice lesson, the Book Of Jonah gets defanged a bit. It's light on God's threat of smiting, for instance, and the Ninevites' most outrageous sin involves slapping each other with fish, a detail not found in most Bibles. But at least Nawrocki and Vischer follow their hero to his bitter, disillusioned end before cleansing the palate with a jaunty song. Kids and vegetables alike will undoubtedly go forth to lead better lives."
