This is an amazing show for young viewers. It traces the very lineage of Jesus Christ from his birth to his violent death on the cross through the eyes of a very young donkey - Ollie. The series is over ten years old and was created when rendering time was a much longer process. The characters retain a unique claymation type of look most likely because the director Doug Aberle worked under one of the premiere stop motion experts Will Vinton responsible for creating the California Raisins. The thirteen episodes were culled from five full length features story boarded and drawn up in Portland Oregon but animated in Hyderbad, India alongside Mickey Mouse House club. Don't expect to get the simple songs and be blown away by the misery inflicted on many of the characters. Donkey Ollie is an example to all children how to persevere under pressure and like the flowers in the perfume press, how to come out smelling like a rose. It is not unusual for young children to play these episodes again and again. You can find the whole series posted on Youtube if you don't want to flip through the channels looking for it.
