DVD Reviews of Davey and Goliath's Snowboard Christmas
DVD Review: Teaching kids about tolerance and friendship...
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether or not you will like this movie for your kids or yourself depends upon your Christian attitude. If you take a very fundamentalist view and you believe that Christianity is the only true religion, then, probably you will not care much for the ecumenical message this movie contains. If, on the other hand, you are like me, and belong to a more liberal denomination or take a more liberal point of view; then probably, you will take this movie as I have taken it: as a nice, pleasant, wholesome, entertaining and touching medium for teaching kids about tolerance and friendship.
Davey is a Christian (Lutheran) preteen who makes friends with a Jewish boy and a Moslem girl. Together they have an exciting snow-boarding adventure. Along the way they learn about one another's religious traditions. Davey learns that Jews, Moslems and Christians are all God's children. In light of current political upheavals in the Middle East, I find it to be a timely and important message.
My little boy loves this movie even more than the original Davey and Goliath cartoon collections that we already own.
I think that, in that it appears unlikely that the whole world will ever convert to Christianity (let alone a single denomination of Christianity), I believe that ecumenicalism is a necessary step for Christians to take, if they are interested in limiting violence and hurt feelings between religions and denominations. My wife and I follow a rather liberal Protestant religious path; but we have also taken our children to visit Catholic Church, a Jewish service; a Buddhist temple; and other Protestant churches of various denominations. Many times, I will invite people to attend Sunday service at my church; but once they tell me that they already have a church or a temple where they are happy, I respect their beliefs and their right to seek the Lord in their own way. I have had good friends who were Jewish, Catholic, Buddhist, Moslem, Agnostic and Athiest, and I am glad that our religious differences have not kept us apart. If the Gospels are true then I believe that God is a good and loving God. If that is true, then loving one another must be much more important to Him (or Her) than the finer nuances of religion that have kept people of different religions and/or different denominations from liking each other.
If what I have just said makes sense to you, then you may like "Snowboard Christmas". If you disagree with what I have just said, then chances are that will not enjoy this movie, and you'll want to keep your kids away from it.
DVD Review: A wonderful revisit to old friends, with a great message
Summary: 5 Stars
After a long hiatus the duo of Davey and Goliath are back, and with a wonderful Christmas message, too! The son of the original animators recreates the timeless style of this old 60's favorite, and adds an updated and needed reminder of what the birth of Jesus was all about- the coming of love into the world, not just 2000 years ago, but today and always. The animation looks better than ever, thanks to newer technology, and the story is told in a moving way that kids can understand and adults will enjoy, too. This DVD has now become a season tradition for me and my family! It just goes to show that the truth (and solid artistic work) holds up despite the passing of time.
Let's see more of such great animation and keep Davey and Goliath coming out on DVD!
DVD Review: Political correct poison
Summary: 1 Stars
I grew up on Davey and Goliath and still enjoy the old episodes. I was looking forward to a new installment to the series but was greatly disappointed once I began watching.
I am no fan of political correctness (leftist propaganda/indoctrination) and it was a great letdown that the Clokey family and the Lutheran Church succumbed to this poison to society.
Why can't Christians have their own holiday? Muslims and Jews have theirs, and I can't remember the last time a Muslim or Jew made me, a Christian feel inclusive of Ramadan or Hannuka.
Anyway, the animation is topnotch, but the message is garbage. Pass this one by if you're looking for a good ol D&G Christmas message. If that is what you are looking for, then watch "Christmas Lost and Found". All your kids will get out of a "Snowboard Christmas" is feeling guilty for being a Christian....and maybe that is the intent.
DVD Review: Good for the kids!
Summary: 4 Stars
WHo could say anything negative about wholesome Davey and Goliath. It's been 3 decades since I
watched in Black and WHite...Davey has moved into the modern age with a sports subject matter
sure to appeal to the kids. Maybe for me too much effort to be politically correct, but it retains the
basic value messages...and it sure beats the alternatives available out there .
DVD Review: Nice to see An Old Classic come back to life,But Better!
Summary: 3 Stars
During the last couple of years I've seen repeats on t.v. of the old show of "Davey and Goliath",which I loved as a kid" and thought it was too bad that tv was soo Sexist back in 1970's and '60s. I believe ,especially in these violent and self-centered days, America and the world need to have more friendly religious messeges! So many Christian people today seem so bigoted & self righteous and go giving out their version, often misguided messeges, of Christianity.I totally think shows like these need to help bring people together. Also, I suggest viewing the "Vegetable Tales"videos.
Description of Davey and Goliath's Snowboard Christmas
Filmed in a distinctly old school stop-motion style, DAVEY AND GOLIATH'S SNOWBOARD CHRISTMAS follows the intrepid young adventurer and his faithful canine sidekick as they take to the slopes for a snowboarding session. A few lessons in life are in store for young Davey as the adventures unravel, and these are nicely balanced with plenty of seasonal Christmas cheer.General DVDs
