GOOD SAMARITAN, THE

Kids who had religious educations responded best. "Great because it reminds me of a program we did at school about The Good Samaritan. It shows more details about the story that I didn't know." They recognized that the negative behaviors were part of the story. "The robbers weren't nice and the people who wouldn't help the hurt man weren't nice, but the Samaritan was really nice." "It got me to think about why I should help other people and who I should help - everyone."

Good story teaching loving kindness. Well produced 2-D animation and music. A bit violent but teaches a Biblical story familiar to most children. Reinforces the idea that we should help others no matter what race, culture, or gender they are. Expresses the belief that faith in God gives one strength to face one's enemies. Sometimes parables are told so many times, they become mundane. In this, the producers have brought new life to an old story.

Jesus teaches us to love and serve one another, no matter how we differ in appearance or beliefs, in this parable from the New Testament. English and Spanish.
