Cherub Wings: Vol. 6: Never Outta Sight (2000)

Cherub Wings is the Teletubbies talking like Barney and singing Care Bears songs about praising Jesus -- scary to most adults but, like the previously mentioned shows, it seems to be just what kids enjoy and need. It's very child-centered, speaking to children at their level about how near they are to God and his goodness and help. There is an animated Bible story in the middle (with childlike art styles) and a beautiful song at the end (comparing each child to the sparrow God loves) set to scenes of children playing, smiling, and hugging. It sure beats Spongebob and the other manic fare kids find nowadays! Two cherubs bookend the program and the show's artists give them creative perspectives, sound effects, and accoutrements (like a cloud skimmer car). It's for ages 3-5 but my ten-year-old son watched it a bit and said "This is pretty cool." 3 stars.
