It's About Time

As a Christian, I've been almost ashamed of the fictional works "we" have been putting out over the years. I don't know what happened, but someone finally realized that to teach the love of God, family, and life, we don't need to go around slapping people upside the head with our Bibles. This video illustrates the point. It is, in short, a remarkably well made cartoon. It is easily as fun and entertaining as any Saturday morning show, but, gasp! With a moral. And while the writing doesn't hesitate to make the point (live every day as if it were your last), it does not scream its message, either. A quick list of fun stuff to expect: Two kids "sandboarding" while being pulled along by giant ants (very cool), taking a "Fantastic Voyage"-esque dive into the human blood stream, a bank robbery, explosions...it really was cool! Kids' imagination will get a good workout. The action flows smoothly; within the premise of the story, the events that occur logically build from one cliffhanger to another (whereas many stories of this kind can be a little pushy with their "adventure"). Kudos to the animators, storytellers, and producers: here's one the Christian family can share with secular friends and family. They'll hear a couple of key words (such as "God" and "Bible," oh my!), but delivery is so smooth, it won't turn off non-Christian viewers. Great work, guys.
