#Christian animation

[foone]

a clip from that christian puppets film. The animation quality is... not the greatest. They're animating on the... eighths? the tens? yikes.

I do like how Satan has the Borg Voice and just pops up from behind a rock to go HEY JESUS DO SOME SHIT and jesus is like "nah man keep your rocks"

Have you heard about the upcoming animated movie the Young David about the youth of the Biblical David? It is set to release in 2025 and what they have published so far looks really good. (Though I do not think risking your life to save a sheep is a healthy trait to promote, even in animated movies)

Oh, of course! I think it's from Angel Studios, the same company of The Chosen series! 😊 Well, I'm not really sure about that scene, I think it's a reference to Jesus' parables. That one that says that the Good Shepherd risks and gives his life for the sheep. Not exactly the stuff to literally teach to children, at least they should put the disclaimer "Made by professionals (shepherds) do not try this at home with your cat stuck in a tree." Lol. 😂

Also, I know people just remember David from his youth, but it would be also nice to see the whole story as well. And it's nice to see these kind of productions, I kinda miss more movies like DreamWorks' Prince of Egypt and Joseph King of Dreams. 😊

The Silly Songs with Larry YTP Collab (Video, KingNothing1Ha and four others, 2015)

A VeggieTales-remixing YouTube Poop collab that's no longer available on YouTube. You can watch it here. If you get bored, skip to 3:16 (fittingly enough for a parody of Christian media) and watch from there.

You can watch tons of other free-time-annihilating YouTube Poop collabs here. At least some are even edited so as to follow the order of the source material. (May contain sensitive subjects/material.)

It's that time of year when Tumblr celebrates Easter by posting pictures of crucified anime characters, and inevitably somebody in the notes will pop up to helpfully explain that crucifixion imagery has no cultural significance in Japanese media because Japan is only about 1% Christian, which bugs me because it's completely wrong.

It's true that in the majority of cases, crucifixion in Japanese cartoons isn't meant to be conveying any specific theological message, but something Western audiences are likely to miss is that a large portion of those random crucifixion scenes are referencing Ultraman.

Ultraman's creator was a devout Roman Catholic who explicitly intended the titular hero to read as a Christ figure, and consequently, various Ultramen have been crucified on multiple unconnected occasions throughout the franchise's history. Crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons are often directly name-checking particular crucifixion incidents from Ultraman, right down to emulating the compositions and camera angles of specific shots. It's like an especially morbid version of the Akira slide.

The upshot is that, while it's true that the inclusion of gratuitous crucifixion scenes in Japanese cartoons typically has no (intentional) theological message, stating that they have no cultural significance is incorrect. A large chunk of the Japanese viewing audience are going to see them and immediately go "hey, that's an Ultraman reference".

Anyway, as an image tax, have a shot of four crucified Ultramen miraculously resurrecting a fifth Ultraman by shooting laser beams out of their hearts:

im not particularly religious but i think it’s very cute that Trans Day of Visibility and Easter are on the same day this year :)

its no question that something like this could be triggering or upsetting to a number of queer ppl given the current sociopolitical climate, so i want everyone to remember that u are loved! Regardless of what u or others believe, there are ppl who will love and support you always. Give yourself patience and treat yourself with care!!!

happy and peaceful TDOV everyone!! And Easter to those who celebrate :D

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!

Honestly, this whole "Luce & Friends" thing could be a positive development. Superbook hasn't aired for thirty years, and we're about due for another generation of kids whose understanding of Christian theology comes principally from officially licensed anime.
