I watched the first two episodes of What's In the Bible? with four of my five children. We all really enjoyed it. There were characters that made us laugh, such as Clive and Ian (brothers with Australian accents), Chuck Wagon (a cowboy who sings and plays the guitar) and Captain Pete (a pirate who teaches Bible and church history). And there's Michael, who is an adorable little boy who is watching these DVDs from the back seat of his mother's car along with his younger brother, Pierre. For all of you who are familiar with VeggieTales, you will probably recognize some of the same type of humor and style that was evident in those videos.
The theology contained in these videos seemed to me to be right on. There was only one statement that I might disagree with ("Everyone on earth can be a part of God's spiritual kingdom"), but all in all, pretty theologically sound. The Gospel had a major role (as it should) and there was much emphasis given to God, His plan, and how messed up we are and how we need salvation and redemption.
I highly recommend this DVD series to everyone, young and old.
