“Owlegories: The Sun, The Seed, and The Water” is a wonderful DVD — a “gospel-centered animated series for kids,” as described in the opening sequence. It features delightful music and characters, such as Violet, Gus, Joey, Twitch, Nora and the Professor. This first volume features three episodes, which are titled “The Sun,” “The Seed,” and “The Word.” In “The Sun,” the students learn three ways that the sun is like God, which is that they have power, light paths, and give life. Characters in the series are enjoyable, especially Joey, who, when called during roll call, answers, “Yo!” instead of “Present.” Dr. Tony Evans appears after the episode and talks about Jesus being the light of the world, according to John 8, and the Son of God.
In episode two, “The Seed,” the class of young owls continue to study in Theowlogy 101. They deal with a tricky villain named Devlin, who has an evil-looking mustache. Seeds need water, the sun, and good soil to properly grow, just as we need God’s word, prayer, and fellowship. At the end of the episode, Jen Wilkin, author, talks about the seed and soil. In episode three, “The Water,” Devlin now wears an eye patch to look like a pirate, but circumstances don’t work out well when he forgets and puts an eye patch on both eyes. Devlin tries to foul up the young owls’ journey, but Vincent Van Goat helps out. The owls learn that, like water, God’s love is endless, pure and satisfying. Pastor Matt Chandler speaks briefly at the end of the episode about dirt and sin and how water is like God.
