2. Noah and the Ark from Batang Superbook (27 mins)
The catastrophic Flood, which covered the world for 40 days and 40 nights, is among the biggest events that happened in the Old Testament. Before God rained down this punishment on the sinful people, he told Noah to build a gigantic arc, so he could save him and his family. God also instructed the prophet to take two animals of each kind inside the arc.
Batang Superbook’s Tagalog version of the story gives a kid-friendly explanation as to why God created the Flood in the first place through the lives of the show’s main characters: Chris, Joy, and Gizmo. In several other Bible stories that include The Ten Commandments and the lives of other prophets, the young heroes jump back in time to rediscover the lessons and apply the values in their present lives.
