The Dead Sea Squirrels

I watched episode one so I am basing my review on that.

Imagine deciding to do a sanitized Sunday morning cartoon version of "Fairly Odd Parents" with out understanding the jokes, what made them funny and then being told by your legal department you were going to get sued if you did not make some MAJOR changes.

So you take the Fairies away too and replace them with 2 2000 year old singing undead Squirrels (or Squerls as this show insists on calling them) who personally knew Jesus ( or some such bunk) Take away Timmy's hat and call him Michael because this is a Christian show.

Then do some jokes about airport security, such as someone trying to smuggle a Panda out of Israel in a suit case but being arrested for a shampoo bottle in the same case... and then the Squirrels do another song, in a cute flash back to when they were actually alive.

Also the caring Christian parents don't seem to notice their 6th grade child being stalked by a creepy "man in black" who keeps photographing him and his back pack full of zombie squirrels.

Yes it really is that bad, and looks all set to get worse.

But no swearing, nothing risque or funny, no disrespecting parents (just airport security) and a mention of God, or Jesus, or a bible story every few seconds (but not of the really nasty bible stories or embarrassing bible stories, or the ones most Christians wish were not their "holy Book" at all because they involve ahem ahem you know what. Just the nice clean wholesome cleaned up ones).

5 year olds might like it, but on the whole they will probably prefer Bluey, at least that is funny.

It's not often a movie or show is made about a book series and it actually does it justice and is just as great as the books! This is our kids favorite book series and now the show is a favorite series for our whole family (even their grandparents love it!) This isn't a boring kids show, it's hilarious with great messages too! We are all just sad they finished the whole book series already and hoping they come out with a follow-up series! Thanks for making this fun and wonderful show our whole family can enjoy!

Super cute show combining biblical history with real life kids stuff. Wholesome and fun. Even entertaining for parents! We love that it is made by the people who did VeggieTales and even features some pretty cool artists and theologians as voices. Each episode has a theme and follows the storyline of the episode before. There are unique theme songs for each episode and the animation is reminiscent of some of the popular 2000s shows. Very graphic novel-esque artistry. The show follows a story of a boy who discovers too supposedly dead ancient squirrels in a cave while his father is in Israel for a work trip. When he gets home with them, they thaw out and come back to life, being able to talk and help him on his adventures. The squirrels tell their perspective of Bible stories as they experienced them. This is a great and entertaining resource for Christian families!
