The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything

The latest Veggie Tales movie, The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, just released yesterday, and from what I read, it's artistically a better movie than the first one (Jonah), which, by the way, I have on VHS, if anybody wants to borrow it.

According to Christianity Today's review of the movie, it's not just another Disney movie. To see what this more clearly, if you see the movie, you can ask some of the questions suggested at the end of the review:
If Elliot, Sedgewick and George are supposed to be normal people like us in the story, who does the King represent? Why do you think that?

Could the pirates have been victorious without the King? Why or why not? List the ways the King helps them throughout the movie. What do you think this movie says about your ability to do good things without God?
The review also hints at the answers to these questions in the third from last paragraph (the one beginning, "Will kids realize . . . ?") of the review.
