Bridgestone Multimedia Group Releases Davey and Goliath Set

May 9, 2011 - PRLog -- (Rock Rapids, IA) – Fifty years after its television debut, the beloved Christian cartoon Davey and Goliath is back in a commemorative set of Volumes 1-6 now available from Bridgestone Multimedia Group™.

In 1960, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America began producing a stop-motion animated television series for children. Produced by Gumby creators Art Clokey and Ruth Clokey Goodell, the shows followed Davey Hansen and his talking dog, Goliath, as they learned biblical lessons about being responsible, caring for the environment, and accepting others. Now, you can rejoin these wholesome characters in this refurbished 50th anniversary edition that features 36 episodes on six DVDs, including nine hours of quality entertainment for the whole family.

This commemorative collection teaches lessons about responsibility (“The Bell Ringer,” “Man of the House”), forgiveness (“Not for Sale,” “Bully Up a Tree”), overcoming jealousy (“The Winner,” “The Lemonade Stand”), safety (“Officer Bob”), honoring one’s parents (“The New Skates,” “The Runaway”), compassion (“The Shoemaker,” “Good Neighbor”), God’s miraculous power (“Down on the Farm,” “Hocus Pocus”), and a number of previously lost episodes. A complete listing of episodes is available at gobmg.com

“Davey and Goliath are enduring pop culture icons,” said a spokesman for the Dove Foundation, which has awarded the series its Family-Approved Seal for all ages. “[The DVDs are] wonderful, wholesome entertainment with inspirational, faith-based messages for the entire family.”

The six DVD set of Davey and Goliath: Volumes 1-6 is available from Bridgestone Multimedia Group™ for $42.46. Volumes 1-6 also can be purchased individually at gobmg.com for $12.71.
