"Santa Paws" tells the story of magic talking puppies who team up with an elf and two children to rescue the true meaning of Christmas.

What If...
When Be Walker (Kevin Sorbo) wakes up one day, he realizes that the life he wakes up to is not his own.

With his new family he realizes the value of family and faith in Jesus Christ. "What If.." is a story that is sure to ask us if we are truly following God's purpose in our lives.
What's In The Bible?
Although this is not a movie, it is a wonderful puppet/cartoon series aimed to teach children (and adults) the stories in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Through the stories, Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales, hopes to not only educate Christian children but also answer the many questions that are left unanswered for teens, such as why we can trust the Bible and what difference does it make. The many zany characters, with their child-like innocence, curiosity, and whimsical jokes, are able to explain the history of God and His purpose for humanity.
