Watch.

Light of the World (Movie)
I'd reccomend Ages 9+

An animated portrayal of John's Gospel. Though they've taken some creative licence and a few character shortcuts, I think this is a great movie to prompt discussion around the life, death and ressurection of Jesus. The arrest and crucifiction of Jesus is sad and shows a wounded Jesus which is why I'd reccomend for a slightly older audience.
Available on Blu-ray or DVD on Amazon.
(Unfortunately not streaming in Aus yet)

David (Movie)
I'd reccomend Ages 8+

(Now streaming in Aus on selected streaming platforms)
This retelling of David's story moves past the "defeating your giants", instead opens up his wider story, pointing to God as the one in charge. A fantastic, beautiful film with an excellent score.

The Chosen Adventures
Charming and wholesome fictional stories with Jesus at the centre. Excellent animation and storytelling.
(Available on Minno)

Owlegories
Don't be decieved. This cute show is actually hilarious and godly for lower primary. Older siblings will secretly love it too.
(Available on Minno)

The Biggest Story Videos.
108 visually stunning videos that explore a wide breadth of Bible stories in simple and engaging language.

Saddleback Kids: Stories of the Bible
