The animation in this DVD is absolutely excellent. The picture has bright colors, great details and to top it off the characters are a delight. The story is a twist on the story of David and Goliath, taken from 1 Samuel 17. In this version, a pear is used to teach young Davie a lesson, that if his faith is small like a pear, he can still do great things and lead a “fruitful” life. This story includes humor. An example of this is when a minstrel speaks of romance and love and begins kissing his lyre, a stringed guitar-like instrument.
The voice talent is extraordinary including the voice of the giant, done by John Schneider. The host in the story is an interesting character and the film itself is a feast for the eyes. The story differs a bit from the biblical story but it’s similar enough for viewers to recognize the biblical inspiration. We award this video five doves, the highest number we can award. Every family should see this entertainment spectacle!
