Bugtime Adventures is a series of animated movies that share traditional Bible stories, but they share the stories with a twist...a buggy twist...bouncing back and forth between the Bible story and that of a village of bugs. Intrigued? So was I.I hardly know where to start sharing about Bugtime Adventures Joy to the World. It does take slight creative license with the story of Mary, Joseph, and the birth of Jesus, but that is hardly unexpected as most such movies seem to do this very thing. Overall, it is true to the biblical account; I particularly appreciate the fact that only the shepherds show up at the stable; there are no much-too-early wise men in sight.And then there are the bugs. In the beginning of the movie, they are living in a hole in the ground in Mary's home, but this location soon becomes too dangerous and they decide they must move their village. The bugs' story concerns the search for a new location and eventually it takes our buggy heroes to...ta dah...a certain stable in Bethlehem. They learn much along the way, of course, and in a surprise ending a group of angry horse flies that had at first threatened them seems almost to become their friends thanks to the arrival of a certain baby.All animated films have music and this one is no exception. The music linked to the humans (or giants, as the bugs think of them) is fairly traditional, while the bugs' music is much more...funky? There is even one bug who loves to both scat and sing the blues. I had to grin when, at the end of the movie, he led all the bugs in singing "Silent Night".If this review seems a bit hodge-podgy, please forgive me. This is one of those videos that is hard to pin down. But I did enjoy it; never think I didn't. I also appreciated the extra video, "The Making of Bugtime Adventures." It does a fabulous job of introducing the viewer to what goes into creating cell animated movies and would definitely be an educational addition to your homeschool.Thumbs up. - Reviewed by: Rena Arlen
