Daniel and The Lion's Den

Excellent then, excellent now.
I watched these episodes as a kid and now I have tracked them down for my 4 year old, who also loves them. It seems only 5 of the episodes were ever released to DVD so to get the rest you would need to go either the VHS or Amazon Video on Demand routes.

I've seen some negative reviews from well-meaning parents complaining about "magic" being used to transport Margo, Derek and Moki back in time, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. The stories are very faithful to the Bible as far as I can tell, and at the end of each episode they list several pastors / reverends as consultants. I think it's amazing that a secular Hollywood outfit (Hanna-Barbera) even released this at all.

All of these episodes are very kid-friendly in my opinion, the most gruesome part being a rather bloody scene of David's stone hitting Goliath's forehead. There are also some some scenes of women dancing in bikini-style outfits during King Nebuchadnezzar's party, but all and all, these...

Accurate Biblical Stories for Kids
The animation in these stories is somewhat basic however my kids love them, and I appreciate the attention to biblical accuracy. Even though I've told our 3/4/5 yr olds these stories many time, it's interesting to see how much better they internalize/understand the stories when given a visual. And who can resist the classic voice of Charlton Heston!

wonderful series i recommend everyone see
As a child I was bought these on vhs and fell in love. Growing up in a Southern Baptist Church Home we were limited on our choices. This is still one of my favorite shows and I can't wait to start showing them to my two boys. For those who don't like the story line I'm sorry but they are kid friendly stories from the Bible put into a format every child can understand. By watching these I learned a lot from them about the bible stories they told and finally understood the strokes from Sunday school. But please remember it is Hollywood's version but still they did a great job. I watched them over 100 times and am excited to watch them 100 more with my kids.
