NOTE: The voice-overs use the final versions of the dubs that were used in the movie. This can be viewed on the 2001-2002 VHS and DVD releases from Big Idea. It can also be viewed on the "Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie" DVD and Blu-Ray releases as a Bonus Feature.
(The screen fades from black showing violent waves of the ocean during a stormy night)
Pa Grape (Voice-over): We're in a storm! Like I've never seen before! If we don't do something quick, we're gonna sink!
(Screen fades to a black background with blue subtitles reading "Before Jaws".)
Male Announcer: Before "Jaws"...
(Screen fades back to the rainy ocean)
Pa Grape (Voice-over): Somebody up there must be really upset with somebody down here.
Archibald/Jonah (Voice-over): Alright, I admit it! The culprit was me! It's my fault! All my fault! I'm the one to blame!
(Screen fades to a black background with blue subtitles reading "Before 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".)
Male Announcer: Before "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"...
(Screen fades back to the rainy ocean)
Archibald/Jonah (Voice-over): I'm afraid the only thing left is to be thrown into the sea!
Larry (Voice-over): Aw, you don't have to do that. We've got a plank! You could just walk off!
Archibald/Jonah (Voice-over): Yes, thank you. You're too kind.
(Screen fades to a black background with blue subtitles reading "Before Free Willy".)
Male Announcer: Before "Free Willy"...
(Screen fades back to the rainy ocean as the camera flies down underwater. As the camera floats down gently, the title of the movie fades in. Then the camera stops when the movie logo is in the dead center.)
The biggest fish story of all time! Big Idea's "Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie"!
(Screen wipes to the black background. The blue subtitles saying "Only in theaters 2002" wave like the ripples of the sea.)
Only in theaters 2002.

NOTE: This is a rare teaser trailer you can only see on the 2002 Videos and DVDs of "Larry-Boy: The Cartoon Adventures: Larry-Boy and the Angry Eyebrows", "VeggieTales: Heroes of the Bible", "VeggieTales: Rack, Shack, and Benny" 2002 Special Edition, and "VeggieTales: Josh and the Big Wall!" 2002 Special Edition, given these were all under Warner Bros. at the time.
(The screen fades from black showing violent waves of the ocean during a rainy night)
Male Announcer: For thousands of years, the story's been told of a man who was eaten by a whale. And lived to tell about it. You've never heard this story until it's been told... by vegetables.
(After the screen flashes from the thunder, we fade to Junior reading a menu until he hears a voice.)
Pa Grape (Off-screen): Excuse me.
(Junior sees Larry, Mr. Lunt, and Pa as the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything and lets out a yelp.)
Larry: How's it going?
Mr. Lunt: Hey. What's up?
Junior: Who are you?
Pa Grape: Who, us?
Junior (Suspicious): Yeah?
Pa Grape: We call ourselves the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, but that's not entirely accurate.
Mr. Lunt: Oh yeah. Remember when we did that one thing, with that one guy?
Pa Grape: Oh, do I ever.
Larry: I remember it like it was yesterday.
(A thunderclap causes the screen to flash white, the Warner Bros. Pictures [An AOL TimeWarner Company] logo fades in.)
(Then we fade to the Big Idea still logo, now in 1:85:1 widescreen. Then the thunder is heard again when the screen fades to Archibald waking up in alarm.)
Archibald/Jonah: What's happening?
Pa Grape: We're in a storm! Like I've never seen before! If we don't do something quick, we're gonna sink! Somebody up there must be really upset with somebody down here. (Realizes something) Wait a minute. That's it!
(A thunder causes the screen to flash, revealing a blue background with white rippling subtitles saying "Before Jaws".)
Male Announcer: Before "Jaws"...

(A thunder causes the screen to flash, revealing a blue background with white rippling subtitles saying "Before 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".)
Male Announcer: Before "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"...
(Screen flashes to reveal Archibald in guilt)
Archibald/Jonah: I'm afraid the only thing left is to be thrown into the sea!
Larry: Aw, you don't have to do that. We've got a plank! (Pushes the doors open and the plank springs out on the edge of the ship) You could just walk off!
Archibald/Jonah: Yes, thank you. You're too kind.
(A thunder causes the screen to flash, revealing a blue background with white rippling subtitles saying "Before Free Willy".)
Male Announcer: Before "Free Willy"...
(Screen flashes to the rainy ocean as a tidal wave splashes the camera)

Only in theaters Fall 2002.
Bob: What's going on?
Pa Grape: We're telling a little story. You should listen too.
Theatrical Trailer #1[]
NOTE: Archibald's scream is muted out just like in the movie.
(The screen fades from black revealing the Warner Bros. Pictures [An AOL TimeWarner Company] logo.)
(Then the logo fades to a black background with the white Big Idea logo zooming in)
Something BIG is Coming...
Male Announcer: Something big is coming.
Something beyond IMAGINATION...
Something beyond imagination.
It's not ANIMAL...
It's not animal.
It's not MINERAL...
It's not mineral.
So it must be...

(Archibald gets spit out of the whale with his blowhole and Archibald falls onto the island)
Vegetable.
(The angle of Reginald looking at Archibald is right-side up)
Archibald/Jonah: Oh, Reginald. Good to see you.
(Khalil lands next to Archibald, then the scroll lands on him.)
Male Announcer: Set sail for the ultimate adventure.
Scooter/Angus: There's nothing like a cruise on the great sea to clean the sand out of your wicket, aye?
(The pirate ship crashes into a boat)
Pa Grape (Off-screen): Sorry!
(The ship crashes into another boat)
My fault!
Larry: Oops.
(The bottom part of the ship zooms in three times)
Male Announcer: And the tale of the biggest fish in the sea.
Archibald/Jonah: Something touched me!
Pa Grape: Hold on, Jonah!
(Mr. Lunt throws the ring, and the ring lands into the sea. Then we cut to Khalil staring blankly at Archibald crying, despite Archibald's crying not being heard in the trailer.)
Khalil: You are pathetic.
Male Announcer: From Warner Bros. Pictures and Big Idea Productions.
Larry (Breaking up Mr. Lunt and Pa's fight): Perhaps I can be of assistance!
Male Announcer: The Veggies are at it again!

Theatrical Trailer #2 (Original)[]
NOTE: This trailer uses the exact same lip-sync the movie uses.
(The screen fades from black revealing the Warner Bros. Pictures [An AOL TimeWarner Company] logo. At this point we hear Archibald talking as the logo fades to a black background with the white Big Idea logo zooming in.)
Archibald (Voice-over): All right, name the town. I'll be on my way in the morning. What?

Male Announcer: In a land of mystery...
Scooter/Angus: It's the other end of the world! (Points to the Ninevah star on the wooden map)

Khalil: The Jonah plush toy with sound chip!
Male Announcer: With the help of some fearless friends.
Pa Grape (While hopping down the stairs): Come on! Wake up!
(We cut to Mr. Lunt throwing the life preserver at the screen, then we cut to the pirates in the seafood restaurant at the beginning of the movie.)
Pa Grape: We are... The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything!
Mr. Lunt: Oh, you know that's right.
Larry: Nothing.
Mr. Lunt: Zilch.

(The pirates run from the motor, then as Archibald hops, he gets hit by Scooter's wooden map.)
Larry: Oops.
Male Announcer: And introducing... a caterpillar named Khalil.
Khalil: That is only half true. My mother was a caterpillar, my father was a worm, but I am okay with that now.
Male Announcer: They may be fresh.
(A green bean smells the fish and faints)
Jean Claude: What? They were fresh when we caught them!
(The French Peas chortles as Larry hops away)
Male Announcer: They may be feisty.
Pa Grape: (To Khalil) Didn't I tell you to get off my ship, you lousy leaf-eater?
(When the bowling ball stops rolling into the cannon, Khalil sticks his head out with a teacup.)
Pa Grape (Voice-over): Fire three!
[BOOM!]
Khalil (While being launched): I'M... COMING TRAVELING BUDDY!!!
Male Announcer: But soon, they will be... lunch.
(The screen transitions over to the logo in the style of a whale's mouth closing)
