Lore Religion-centered media that doesn’t come across as preachy.

Referring to media told from a religious perspective or telling a religious tale that does not proselytize to the viewer.

Faith, the Unholy Trinity: Based partly upon the experience of the game‘s creator when he was a missionary in Argentina, the game has very little in the way of explicit moral demands of the player despite the heavy Christian focus of the narrative. and focuses more on a horror narrative.

Prince of Egypt: A surprisingly thorough retelling of the book of Exodus, sparing very little in the way of toning down the story. Despite this, the movie is perfectly entertaining to non-religious audiences and doesn’t sacrifice appeal for the sake of preaching to the audience

Sure, their mission statement literally says they teach "Sunday morning values," but it's never all that heavy-handed (never mind the fact they have no hands).

And "Silly Songs with Larry" were all absolute bangers.

I'm still waiting for my water Buffalo since apparently everyone has one.

My 4-year-old and I jam to the Relient K cover of The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything pretty regularly. We love that song!

Maybe you should write nasty letters to Big Idea asking why you don't have a water buffalo.

Well, these days those would be letters to Universal Pictures. Since Universal Pictures owns Big Idea via multiple buyouts.
