Adventures from the Book of Virtues

I saw this show when I was about 10. The basic plot was of a pair of kids who would go away to this wonderland where animals talked and each episode would be a folktale of different racial origins, be it Chinese, Japanese, Native American, Greek, whatever, in a condensed and easy to comprehend form.

Each episode has a moral and is animated rather well. For the most part, most of the episodes are rather entertaining, though I haven't seen it in like 5 years. Watch if you see it on ^-^

OK, this is going to sound campy, i was a babysitter when this came out, along with the fact of younger brothers and sister. This is one of the few videotapes that i taped (off of PBS) and took with me that EVERY parent did not have a problem with their kid watching. In the age where your TV babysits your child more than you do, this is a program i could turn on and they would actually walk away with something other than mush on the brain. it was good from children 8 to about 14 (my 14 yr old brother (at the time) watched it fascinated for a long time, and is still one of his most cherished memories (one of the few times we didn't fight was when it was on) if you find it, or get a chance to watch it DO! definitely worth it

I recently watched a few episodes of this children's show that aims to teach kids about different virtues. While initially intrigued by the concept, I was disappointed with the show. Firstly, the animation style felt outdated and needed to be more live up to the high standards of creativity and charm that I've come to expect from children's shows. The characters didn't quite come to life as I had hoped, and I found it challenging to connect with them emotionally.

Moreover, the storytelling lacked depth and nuance. While the show's emphasis on virtues like honesty, courage, and responsibility is undoubtedly admirable, how it presented these ideas felt a little heavy-handed and simplistic. I found myself craving more complexity and subtlety in the show's messaging, and I was disappointed that it didn't quite deliver on that front.

The show has good intentions and could be a helpful resource for kids who are just starting to learn about concepts like integrity and kindness. However, it falls short of the mark in terms of execution.
