Movie Reviews of The Greatest Adventures of the Bible: David and Goliath
Movie Review: Bible in animation
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish they would hurry up and do a box set of all these, or at least release all the titles in the series. "The Greatest Adventures of the Bible" is a series made by Hanna-Barbera for television many years ago. There are a ton of titles on VHS and only a few on DVD. Even though they are only 30 minute episodes, the studio chooses to release one title per disc. Noah's Ark from this set is also really good. The premise of the series is that 3 young teens are on an archeological dig site in the middle east, when they discover a tomb door that sends them back in time. So they land in different biblical episodes and interact with people like Noah. It sound weird, but it is actually fun to watch the kids in the different stories and how it affects them. They do not always know what part of biblical times they are in until later in the story. It may sound realistic but it plays well. If you think about it, if it happened what would you do? Learn and help out of course and that is what these kids do.
In this episode the teens are being held captive by the Philistines and are being put to work. One thing I like about this version is they show you what might have been happening in the Philistine camp before the battle, and the show the large size of Goliath. The teens escape and make a new friend, a shepherd named David, who saves them from a lion. David decides to join the fight of his people against the Philistines, which lead to his personal battle against Goliath. They do show blood coming from his head when he is struck by David, but not something that bothered me. All in all very entertaining.
The stories are entertaining, well animated, respectful and I recommend.
If you like bible animation, I also suggest the series "Testament: The Bible in Animation".
