Booga Booga Land: Squid Sushi Loses His Marble

Booga Booga Land: Squid Sushi Loses His Marble is a children's DVD from Tommy Nelson Publishers.  It's a collection of 3 short stories illustrating Bible stories.  The stories are told through the 2 main characters, Gerard the giraffe and Marty the monkey.  The 3 stories on this volume are the Pearl of Great Price, the Wheat and the Tares, and the Wedding Banquet.

I watched this DVD without my children, and I am glad.  The meaning of the parables was completely lost in the telling.  Even worse, the meaning turned into something resembling greed or vengeance.  Characters were mean, the pearl was made an object of bragging.  I think Tommy Nelson really dropped the ball on this one.  I would not recommend this DVD to anyone.  I'd give it a 1 out of 5 stars.
