The Legend Of The Three Trees is a superbly produced, animated folktale of three distinct trees (an Oak, an Olive, and a Pine) and the roles they played in the story of Jesus. Each tree began with their own particular dreams and aspirations -- but met with what seemed to be bitter disappointment, only to emerge with truly unique roles in "the greatest story ever told". Hal Holbrook's narration is nothing short of masterful, the quality of the animation is flawless, and the story is totally engaging from beginning to end. The Legend Of The Three Trees (VHS, 30 minutes, full color) is a wonderful addition to family, parochial school, and community library video collections for young viewers.

This is a favorite for my children as well as myself. We all love this DVD and the book that is by Catherine McCafferty. Don't mistake it for the "Tale of Three Trees" which isn't as good.

Excellent video. Well presented. Sensitive to the young age most likely viewing this one.

This Christian movie is very good. No it's not high spun, full of action, or even a long movie, but it's got it where it counts. It's got heart, love, and compassion. Buy this film for the kids it has an excellent message to share.

My 2 1/2 year old son quickly got the concept of the tales of each tree in this film. I was impressed when he came to me after his first viewing and told me about the olive tree (I think it was) that was made in to a manger for Baby Jesus! This is great for anyone who loves the book and would like to see it in movie form!

This animated movie about Jesus's life is wonderful. I showed it to 1st-3rd graders and they were captivated. I would recommend this movie for all ages.

I purchased this movie for our Sunday wee church (preschool age) kids to watch for Easter. I absolutely love this story, and was anxious to show it to the kids in a "multi-media" format.

Unfortanately, this movie was a disapointment. 30 minutes to tell such a short story leads to a movie that is slow moving and boring. I showed it to a group of 2nd and 3rd graders this past Sunday, and I don't think they'll forgive me for it any time soon. They were bored silly, and therefore missed the entire point the movie made. I know my own kindergarten daughter would not watch it because it's so slow moving.

I'm considering this purchase a flop and will hide the video in my office.

This is an excellent DVD for teaching your children biblically based life values. I would recomend this for any parent who wants to inspire their children in their Christian walk. Children over 6 or 7 years of age might find this somewhat simplistic but well worth it for those in a lower age group. This is a DVD which will be kept in our collection and passed down to our children when they have kids of their own.
