IESODO, The Way of Jesus: JOY, DVD review

SYNOPSIS:


Iesodo (YAY-sa-doe) is a wise white dove whose name means "The Way of Jesus". He and his feathered friends bring your favorite New Testament stories to life in a whole new way.   Iesodo (pronounced Yay-Sa-Doe) and his friends live in the Holy Land, in a beautiful Cypress Tree on the shores of a vast Lake (or as we know it, the Sea of Galilee). These birds are an unlikely group of friends, and though they have their differences, they have one thing in common: since they met Iesodo, their lives have never been the same. Now they’re out to spread his message of hope to the entire bird world!

This special re-imagining of the Nativity story will have your heart take flight and tweet along to holiday carols and all-new songs!

Festivities are in full swing as the flock prepares to celebrate Iesodo's birthday! The Cypress Tree is decked out with holly berries and excitement is in the air. Everyone gathers as Rocky shares the incredible story of Iesodo's birth.

My thoughts:

This incredible series gets better and better! IESODO or The Way Of Jesus (in Japanese) is to be experienced to understand the magnitude of its teachings. 

With its amazing voice cast, songs and splendid animation, this newest episode of IESODO called JOY,  brings the whole family a fresh approach to learning His Way!

Little ones will be able to follow this new description of the Nativity story like never before whilst parents will enjoy the infinite touches given by the producers to this 2000 years old story.

There are many children stories out there but this one rates the very best for its clarity and originality. Nothing has been left to chance and I give it 5 stars!
