I had posted a scriptural post and someone asked me about children’s wholesome programs.
I had mentioned Vegie Tales and Adventures in Odyssey but I just learned about Superbook from my daughter who got it for three of our Grandkids

Loved Superbook and The Flying House as a kid in the 80s. The new Superbook is just as good as the original, I still watch it.
Never heard about it til my daughter put it on recently for my grandbabies
My kids, 2.5 and 1.5, are watching Mr Roger's on DVD, Daniel Tiger, and Listener Kids (w/ Jack & Scarlett). Recently the Saddleback kids and Bible Stories for Kids YouTube channels too.
I heard veggie tales went woke, untrue?
I only ever saw a few Veggie tales with my kids when they were little and still have them on VHS, but with a Biblical focus, I find that one hard to believe., especially they started out right
My kids loved Superbook and Davey and Goliath.
My son absolutely loved Veggie Tales, he's 24 now and I still catch myself humming Barbara Manatee occasionally 😅
On a side, unrelated note, does anyone here watch United Spot on youtubes? One of the character voices sounds so much like Bob The Tomato!!
Anyways, when I was a kid I loved a show called The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible. It is an animated direct-to-video film series produced by Hanna-Barbera that tells of three young adventurers who travel back in time to watch biblical events take place. Thirteen videos were released between 1985 and 1992. Such a good show! Maybe you can find it again somewhere.
I always liked Hanna Barbera cartoons. Never heard if that one though. Had no idea they dealt in Biblical. That’s awesome! We didn’t even have a tv til I was eight. I was born in ‘69
This is super old-school, but you can find quite a few "Jot" videos on YouTube.
What is Jot?
It was a cartoon from the late 1960s/early 1970s time frame. Very simplistic animation (Jot is a dot) but it teaches Christian values. Here's a sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o-mXKe-mcs
Davey and Goliath is another animated show from the same timeframe that is also Christian-centered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXastIhIuaY&list=PLo2aaBamFnLTBegxemWH4rWO5XYtIAt3K
Saved to check out later. Very cool
