This animated feature introduces children to the work of the Apostle Paul in three short segments: “Struck Blind!”(Acts 7-9, in which Paul shares the story of his conversion to Christianity on the road to Damascus), “Imprisoned at Phillipi” (Acts 16, chronicling Paul's second missionary journey, accompanied by Silas, during which the pair were imprisoned); and “Shipwrecked at Malta” (Acts 27-28, in which Paul as a prisoner is shipwrecked in a storm en route to Rome to appear before Caesar). Combining 3-D animation, an effective soundtrack, and attractive graphics, Adventures of the Apostle Paul does an excellent job of tailoring the material for children, presenting the various perils Paul encountered while spreading the Gospel in an exciting (but not frightening) way. DVD extras include the excellent featurette “Bag of Tricks,” which shows just how the film was made—research, writing, animating, and adding sound—in exceptionally interesting detail. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (J. Reed)
