Biblical kings with puppets? Yes, and it's weirdly brilliant.
Volume 5 Israel Gets a King contains two 25-minute episodes: The People Want a King! covers 1 Samuel and the life of Saul as Israel’s first king. Kings Make Mistakes Too! covers 2 Samuel and the first chapter of 1 Kings, including the reigns of King David and his son, King Solomon.
Practical Effects
Puppet designs that somehow make ancient Israel visually coherent.
Writing
Phil Vischer's script balances theological depth with vegetable humor.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Vischer created this series after losing VeggieTales to bankruptcy, making this his second act in faith-based educational media.
The show notably includes Saul's consultation with the witch of Endor, a detail many children's Bibles quietly skip.
