Owlegories (the Boto family)
Owlegories
An animated series in which student owls learn about God from things in nature: the sun, seeds, water, butterflies. Built on Psalm 19, each episode closes with a short message from a guest teacher such as Tony Evans or Jen Wilkin.
Why this is listed
The official site confirms Season 1 of 18 episodes in six DVD volumes, guest messages from Tony Evans and Jen Wilkin, and the ad-free Owlegories TV app for phones and tablets. DVDs are sold through the official shop, Walmart, Lifeway and Amazon; app pricing is not stated on the site.
Before you press play
Animated series for young children in which owl characters learn a lesson about God from something in nature, with a memory verse. Gentle; nothing to flag. Preschool to early elementary.
Suited to Young children. Age judgements are ours, not a rating board’s — you know your own family.
How to start
- Open owlegories.com (opens an external site) and read what Owlegories (the Boto family) says about itself before you read anything else.
- Read the note above first. It is there so an evening does not go wrong twenty minutes in.
- Watch it yourself before you watch it with children, if there are children.
- Read the passage it dramatises alongside it. The point is to send you back to the text, not to replace it.
- Afterwards, ask what the story added and what it left out. That conversation is worth more than the film.
