This series, including the original Oscar-nominated short, from Brown Bag Films is based upon the 1960s recordings of young children telling Bible stories in a classroom to their schoolteacher. When a film crew arrives at an inner city Dublin National School to record the children, the result is a warm, funny and spontaneous animated documentary...
These videos are a strange combination of adorable and deplorable. Something about listening to innocent little kids talk about Jesus dying horribly as depicted by charming cartoons is hypnotizing. I like these videos because I feel like a lot of the bible is comprised of content which only a very impressionable and innocent mind could possibly believe in their heart of hearts to be true. It's of little interest to me whether these cartoons were produced with an intention to promote religion in any way, I appreciate the combination of imagery, audio and content regardless.
