4.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to the Easter story..., December 8, 2000

This review is from: Beginner's Bible: The Story of Easter [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My parents gave this to my daughter as a gift, and I have to say I was skeptical at first. But after a dozens showings my three year old and I still enjoy this video. In cartoon form it tells the Easter story from Palm Sunday to the assumption in a gentle way, emphasizing Christ's love for us. My daughter likes to join in with Kathy Lee Gifford during the theme song. She often quotes the end of the movie, "Always remember, I'll love you forever." How can I help but love this movie?!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great video, March 9, 2004

This review is from: Beginner's Bible: The Story of Easter [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video was by far my favorite of the the 'Beginner Bible Series'. After I finished watching it with my four year old grandson, he was able to remember that Jesus was dead and then 'got alive' again. I was a little concerned about how they would handle the crucifixion, but it was a very small part of the video, and only showed the three crosses in a distance.

There were many parts where Jesus was talking to his disciples, and those were great..it made it much more personal hearing the words of the Bible coming out of His mouth. It held my grandson's interest AND my own. Highly recommend this especially as we approach this coming Easter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than first thought, July 4, 2004

This review is from: Beginner's Bible: The Story of Easter [VHS] (VHS Tape)

OK, so I already posted a review on this video, but after watching it several more times with my son (who keeps insisting we watch the story about Jesus), I realized I made a hasty post and here I am trying to make up for it. This movie really does a great job about telling the story of the resurrection to my almost-3-year-old. My first concern was that it did not accurately explain how to "get to heaven." And since that is such a major part of our faith, I thought that was a major disapointment in the video.

HOWEVER, after watching it repeatedly, I have to say that it's not really that far off, and I can make any clarifications myself when my son and I discuss things. It's so hard for me to find good Bible story videos appropriate for this age group, I'm glad to have one that my son really enjoys and that covers the subject as close as this one does. But I will still be careful to have the discussions with my son, and not just let the video do the teaching.
