Iesodo Children’s DVD’s
When I was a kid, I remember watching animation like this at my Granny’s house. Although I doubt the animation was nearly as advanced, the quality and message were similar. The joy and lessons I took from them will never fade and I have wondered as an adult if children were getting these types of messages today. I’m glad to see that they are and hope these types of animated cartoons become increasingly popular.
Iesodo (pronounced Yay-Sa-Doe) is an adorable series that helps to teach children about the Way. Adorable little birds tell stories, sing and teach meaningful lessons. The stories are realistic, touching and have moments that made even the grown up in me giggle. The songs, of course, are fun and full of smiles too. There is something special about songs that warm our hearts and seek to give happiness.

“Children learn and sometimes even emulate the actions and personalities of loveable animated characters such as Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse, and we want them to do the same with Iesodo,” said executive producers Jared and Natalie Hankins. “The Iesodo character is a representation of Jesus, and the stories shared throughout each episode are based on Jesus’ teachings. They are universal principles we hope all parents wants to instill in their children, such as loving one another, conquering fear, sharing and being kind.”
