DVD Reviews of Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible: Daniel and the Lion's Den
DVD Review: We enjoyed this
Summary: 5 Stars
We enjoyed this at our house, my wife and I and our 13 year old son. The movie begins with a live action introduction by Charlton Heston, who is the host for this whole biblical series. Frankly, there are not a lot of sources out there that visualize in any form the Book of Daniel from the Old Testament of the Bible. And we really wanted to see it in a visual form. While they did change some things here and there to move the story along and due to time limits, there are some great moments from the Book of Daniel included. It begins with the capture of Daniel and other young boys of Israel by the Babylonians, shows their tutoring and service to the King as they grow older. It relates how they stayed true to their faith under great pressure in a foreign land.
Daniel especially is undermined by government officials that are jealous of his great administrative skills. They try to have him killed for his faith, which he never denies. The movie shows the an abbreviated version of Daniel's interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. It shows the appearance of the mysterious hand on the wall, and Daniel's interpretation of the strange writing for King Darius. Finally, it shows
Now for some parents, you may be concerned over incidents where the king has advisers put to death who tried to undermine Daniel, and Daniel does not object. It was OK with us as our boy is older. The film is 50 minutes in length.
As for bible teaching, you may have to take some notes and correct a few liberties taken with the text, but the main message gets across, the plot and animation are interesting and never boring. Also from this series we have seen David & Goliath, and Joshua and the Battle of Jericho.
If you are interested in what other companies are producing in bible animation, also check out a series produced in England for the BBC, title "Testament, the Bible in Animation". It is also available at Amazon.com
DVD Review: Great for younger kids!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is certainly cheesy to the mind of the adult, but to the child ages 1yr to 4yrs, it is a great and entertaining film! The story is quite accurate with very little reference to Charleston Heston, whose name merely helps to "sell" the film. A decent movie for bible-conscious parents. =-)DVD Review: Awesome Story!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is something the kids love to watch over and over. The story is quite captivating, not slow or fast, just great! The values taught in it are what makes it worth purchasing!!DVD Review: Not too painful
Summary: 3 Stars
The animation and story are not bad, but the kids who pops in from time to time to sing a goofy song takes away from at least my family's enjoyment. For the pirce it's not bad...DVD Review: Okay movie
Summary: 4 Stars
It is a good movie for children, but it's a little boring. Some children that are use to all the Disney's movies might not be able to sit through this. Also the artworks and music is not good. Recommend this movie for 5th graders and up.
