DVD Reviews of The Pilgrim's Progress
DVD Review: MY CHILDREN'S CHURCH KIDS LOVE IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have recently gone through the felt board set and lessons by Betty Lukens on the broad path and the narrow path. I great christian building series. I want my kids to be really solid Little Christians. In our lessons I came across the children's book of Pilgrim's Progress and I spent a Sunday reading it to my kids. They LOVED it and I had seen this DVD so I bought it also. I previewed it at home and was very pleasently surprised. My 7 and 8 year old daughters watched it with me and demanded to watch it again as soon as it ended the first time. We really enjoyed it. I gave it a 5 Star rating because all of my children church kids loved it. It took two Sundays to watch the whole movie. When we didn't get to finish it the first Sunday (because parents were arriving to take them home) the kids were begging to finish it and wanted their parents to come back when it was over. I have about 20 kids in Children's Church and they come to me from the nursery at age 3 and the oldest children are in 5th grade. So I have a very wide age group but all of them loved the movie.
Now here is the only part that I was not happy with. I have taught my kids over and over that at the narrow gate only one person can go through at a time. That you can't push, pull, rope whatever anyone else through. And nobody, mom, dad, grandparents, siblings can push, pull etc you through. Each person has to make that decision themselves and go through by themselves. When Christian gets to the gate he does ask Goodwill if he can enter and why he wants to enter. Good so far but then Goodwill opens the gate for Christian and yanks him in. What?!!! I paused the movie and asked my kids what was wrong. Actually I didn't really have to ask because they all knew and were shocked and not happy about it. I explained that I thought maybe Goodwill saw the firey arrows coming so he was trying to hurry Christian up so he could close the gate and they would be protected. I also told them that the movie was wrong and they agreed. We talked about how this could be confusing to kids who hadn't already learned about the two paths. They agreed and we moved on.
I still love the movie and of course my kids to do. In fact I have made them costumes and we are going to act it our together this Sunday. (Coustumes are just made from pillowcases not real professional but my kids don't care they just love to dress up and act it out. Give it a try.)
I love the story of Pilgrims Progress and have from a child. I highly recommend it to all adults and children. I have bought my kids the childrens version book to take home. What a great tool to send home with kids who don't have Christian parents!
I just bought each of them this DVD too. That is how much I think of this movie and I know God will use it in these children's homes! After all His Word will not come back void.
It's like my pastor says "Let's get as many hooks in the water as we can and show people the way to Jesus. Our job is to be a disciple and make disciples."
Description of The Pilgrim's Progress
Join young Christian on his journey to the Celestial City in this animated adaptation of the timeless tale. Fearing the city will soon be destroyed by fire, Christian sets out on the path he has read about in the Bible. He encounters many friends and enemies as he struggles through the Slough of Despond, climbs the Hill of Difficulty, battles Apollyon, suffers at the hands of Vanity Fair, escapes the Castle of Doubt, and endures the many incredible experiences that carry him to his destination. An allegory of the pilgrimage all followers of God must make, The Pilgrim's Progress presents John Bunyan's classic novel through the entertaining animation of artist Scott Cawthon. Other DVDs from Cawthon include Noah's Ark: The Story of the Biblical Flood and The Jesus Kids' Club.Similar DVDs, VHS Video, Audio CDs
