One time my aunt visited from upstate, and she brought a VHS tape--not a published tape, but a copy of a copy. She told us it was the latest project my cousin Vence had worked on for the Gaithers, and we all sat in the living room watching it. I was fascinated because wow, not just a new cartoon, but a new EXCLUSIVE cartoon my COUSIN helped make! It remains a memory I'm proud of...even if this was the result. Cousin Vence is an amazing songwriter and a great guy, and seeing "I liked the songs" being a takeaway is a truly cool thing to come across this far down the line. I know he would spend full nights pacing and writing sheet music, and I always liked it when we would get a cassette single from down the way. I have a lot of Opinions about Christian animation, it is a brand of "we can't do it but we will anyway" unique to the churches I grew up in and there is a lot of history there, but...heck, I'm just proud of my cousin right now. Way to go, Vence! (But yeah, it's entirely the VeggieTales grab, speaking as a kid there from alpha, llllol)

My grandparents pretty much only had christian cartoon movies and shows, shirley temple movies, and the original care bears series to watch at their house. They were pastors and had morning and evening bible readings for as long as i have known. While i never watched gaither's pond, i distinctly remember the trailer playing on the small tv screen in the van. The memories that this series brings back are actually very good and makes me nostalgic for the time where i didn't know much about politics and i didn't have to hide parts of myself. Bittersweet, i know, but still, i love seeing saber review some of the more obscure stuff i grew up with and proving to my brain that all this stuff wasn't some insane fever dream. 😊

This show looks like some cursed haunted tape you would find in someone's abandoned basement.

[@nyanpirethecat2257]

As a Christian I have a serious question, why do a lot of Christian media have a repetition for low quality stuff like this? The only few surprisingly decent ones that come to mind besides VeggieTales would have to be "Simon The Lamb" by Precious Moments from 1994 (Heck any Direct-To-Video by Precious Moments), The Crippled Lamb by StarToons Animation, "Theo Presents", "The Lion of Judah" (2011), and Dreamwork's Prince Of Egypt since both put their heart and soul into their works and are very genuine. Helps that I really admire "Precious Moments" because of how genuine and friendly the company is and how harmless the characters from their Direct To Video animated short films to character and animal illustrations. They even collaborated with Disney in the past and the merchandise and stuffed animals look so adorable. Even EG Daily, Christine Cavanaugh, and Kath Soucie voiced the sheep characters in Simon The Lamb.

[@chadschmaltz9790]

Nyanpire The Cat I think it has to do with the stigma of being associated with a religion in today's world. Most major animation studios (aside from the examples you listed) wouldn't want their name associated with christianity, so any ideas for movies or shows are left to small studios or people with no background in animation. We've seen the results of those projects. I remember as a kid watching a cartoon series about three kids getting transported into biblical times by an ancient scroll. It was really well animated and the stories were balanced between being kid friendly, yet maintaining the seriousness of the source material. I wish I could remember the name of it. The three kids were a blond girl and 2 boys. One boy wore a blue baseball cap and had curly black hair and I can't remember anything about the other boy.

[@nyanpirethecat2257]

If I remember correctly, that specific series might had been animated by Hannah-Barbera (Under the name "Hannah Barbera Home Video") in the early 1990's. Since I remember seeing the logo before the actual video began.

[@KhayJayArt]

Nyanpire The Cat I think these people believe that just because it's about God they don't have to put in any effort. Doesn't help that other Christians buy this crap, thus encouraging them to make more crap.

[@psycher7]

Honestly? Laziness (and greed). They have a built-in audience that will buy it regardless of quality, so if they make it as cheap as possible, they can maximize profit. It's a very cynical, worldly, and hypocritical approach, but it seems to work. You see it even more with live-action movies. I am not a Christian, but Ben-Hur (the Heston version) is easily one of the greatest movies I've ever seen; nowadays, "Christian" movies are just cheaply-made, preachy, often hateful garbage like War Room and the God's Not Dead series.

[@constantheadache2045]

I feel like it just comes from knowing what your doing, like any good animator. Prince of Egypt was probably not made by many religious people, but it was made by people who are passionate in their craft and respect the story. Don’t get me wrong, not everything has to be high budget, VeggieTales is very charming, and yt is full of indie animators who make some amazing stuff, but if it’s just a few people who have no animation experience who may or may not be exploiting Christians who just want some good animated content, of course it’s not gonna be good.

[@SeanStrife]

You hit the nail on the head with the problem with most Christian media; most of it's not designed to create an interesting artistic interpretation of their religious beliefs and their faith... it's being designed as a marketing tool to push the church so that they can make easy money off of ignorant people who don't know any better. It applies to Christian music, Christian children's works, Christian movies, any form of Christian "art" (I hesitate to call it art since it's clearly just marketing propaganda for the Church 99% of the time). Can brilliant artistic work come out of one's faith? Absolutely it can... but most of the time, it's utter garbage that's trying to leap onto whatever they think is popular at the time, but a good 90% of the time, it's already about 5 years out of style by the time they glomp onto it like some kind of symbiote in Spider-Man.

[@manicpixiefangirl4189]

Sean Strife Well think of all those sinners they’d have to actually interact with to actually learn about art. I mean, how can you expect to be all clean and shiny for heaven if you’re associating with “those people”. 🙄 And I’m saying this as a born and raised Christian. Honestly, talk about missing the point.

"What's with Christians and godawful animation?" As another Christian, I have to sadly agree. I only hope that my own efforts with Blender 3D might prove an exception. My models may be a little more low-poly than the professionals, but as an artist, at least I care about making it look good.

[@silasruedin9566]

I just can't believe this! "The Prince of Eqypt", "The Miracle Maker", VeggieTales, "Friends and Heroes", even that Japanese anime series "The Flying House", and this is the standard fare for Christian media?! Then again, it's like what you once said about girls' entertainment in your Brony Chronicles documentary: "Because there is (was) prejudice against girls' entertainment, it has (had) suffered in quality and rarely has anything redeeming for its audience to take away." Christian media (or even the slightest mention of Jesus) has been discouraged from virtually all outlets. There was also "Adventures from the Book of Virtues" I used to watch on PBS that told fantastic stories from both history and myth with decent animation and characters (and yes, there was plenty of Bible tales and even direct reverence toward God in it as well, but then EVERYTHING went secular. If you can Saberspark, I'd appreciate if you would also sometimes look at some of these superior yet forgotten cartoons and others like the ones I've mentioned here. I want to see these become the norm once again.

[@andrewollmann304]

Silas Ruedin Book of Virtues wasn’t exactly Christian...but it did feature religious themes sometimes. But, I know what you were trying to say.

[@silasruedin9566]

Also remember at least one episode on that show where Annie is confronting the passing of a friend and Plato the Bison recites a passage from Psalms, subtly reassuring that there is a God awaiting her. Not 100% Christian exclusive but definitely some Christians involved with the show's production and not afraid to express it. Nowadays, mainstream media won't let you get away with that.

17:07 not only was THAT a reference to that song, but so was the “trouble with a capital T that rhymes with P...” part at the beginning of the episode. Odd continuity, but continuity nonetheless.

[@polexiaaphrodisia8838]

Considering that the show contains a whole song about how a woman is more fun if she isn't a virgin...what an odd musical for some evangelicals to reference!

[@tragedyplustime8271]

And the cast repeating "Problems!" while the squirrel talks about saying innapropiate things is the same in the Music Man, except the parents are instead repeating "Trouble!" The weirdest thing is that the only thing referenced throughout the whole episode is You Got Trouble, which granted is the catchiest song in the musical right next to Shipoopi but still, no other references. Though it may be based on the squirrel being a liar, same as Harold Hill manipulating people's lack of knowledge about pool being the same as billiards and using that fear to force the boys band.
