Adventures In BoogaBooga Land


The DVD Adventures in Boogabooga Land follows the adventures of Marty the monkey and Gerard the giraffe in three episodes that present the parables of Jesus (The workers in the vineyard Matt.20, The Wise and foolish builders Matt. 7, The lamp under the bowl Matt. 5). The voices, songs, and animation are of low-average quality. At times the voices of the characters are hard to understand and the enunciations of the words are not clear or distinct. While the stories are meant to depict a parable from the book of Matthew they are loose representations and Jesus or God were never mentioned. It did not feel like the stories really focused on Biblical character building like other movies from Thomas Nelson typically do. While the stories are clean and family friendly they are not of the style or quality that my children typically like. I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze.com <http://BookSneeze.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review.
