the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Adventures from the Book of Virtues The Box Set’

Tue, Aug 12, 2008

Includes Adventures in Courage, Adventures in Honesty, and Adventures in Faith. Because nothing says “adventure” like the Bison of Beatitude, the Squirrel of Sincerity, and a message wielded like a sledgehammer.

share and enjoy

I’ve accidentally watched this for a couple minutes. Even worse than the sledgehammer thing is the unbearable blandness. Even Rod and Todd Flanders would be bored to tears.

From the Product Description: “Adventures from the Book of Virtues presents classic heroes and stories to help children learn the value of universal virtues.”

Here’s the whole list o’ episodes:

Self-discipline
Charity
Work
Responsibility
Compassion
Courage
Honesty
Faith

Universal virtues… hmmm…
