Adventures from the Book of Virtues is an American TV series that ran from September 2, 1996 to November 2000 on PBS. Based on the bestselling morality book The Book of Virtues by William J. Bennett (who also conceived this series), which was an anthology of fables, legends, historical speeches, and literary excerpts, it follows the adventures of 11-year-old Zach Nichols and 10-year-old Annie Redfeather as they run into typical ethical issues facing normal kids... and their Talking Animal friends at Plato's Peak are there to help them solve their problems with stories from The Book of Virtues.The inhabitants of Plato's Peak are: Plato, a bison, voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson Socrates (also known as "Sock"), a bobcat, voiced by Frank Welker Aristotle (also called "Ari"), a prairie dog, voiced by Jim Cummings. Keeper of the Book of Virtues. Aurora, a hawk, voiced by Kath Soucie (who also voices Annie)This is the first television series from PorchLight Entertainment, as well as the first prime time animated series for PBS. It is dedicated to teaching life lessons to kids, such as of courage, faith, honesty, loyalty, compassion, gratitude, responsibility, perseverance, self-discipline, and friendship. For a TV series, the animation uses quite an advanced movie quality, giving most of the designs a Disneyesque art style.Has episodes borrowing plots from Aesop's Fables, The Bible, The Odyssey, etc.Check out the Characters page and the Recap page. |

The Hyena: Sock always laughs maniacally. For example, in "Honesty", when he hears Plato say "big picture" and thinks it's funny (inducing a Lame Pun Reaction from Plato), and later in "Loyalty", when he watches Ari with his binoculars. |

Failure Is the Only Option: In "Courage", Annie has to race with another girl at the school field. As they run, they jump over a hurdle, even though Annie trips over it and falls flat on her face and the other girl wins making her lose. Annie gets upset because of this, pounding on the track with tears coming out of her eyes. |

Furry Confusion: Besides the main animal characters, some episodes have non-anthropomorphic animals show up when Zach/Annie isn't at Plato's Peak. Some examples include a dog that Zach plays fetch with in "Loyalty", Jake's pet dog in "Respect", and two squirrels that Zach mistakes for Sock and Ari in "Determination." |

Feud Episode |
| | Adventures from the Book of Virtues / int_3743ef88 |
comment |
Feud Episode: Several. Here are a few examples: In "Self-Discipline", Zach has an argument with his mother for not buying a video game and letting him get an allowance. In "Respect", Annie and Zach were angry at Jake, the junkyard man who let them find parts of his go-kart. In "Generosity", Zach and Annie get into a heated argument over which name to choose for their picnic campaign. They're just being generous, according to Plato. In "Patience", Annie loses her patience with a younger classmate during a school contest. In "Honesty" (2000), Zach is mad at Annie for not letting him pay her fifteen dollars, so they argue for a while until Annie decides to write a trustworthy letter to him. At the beginning of "Integrity" (2000), Zach lies in the class by telling them his dad's Egyptian replica of a school report he's taking, which makes Annie so furious at him.invoked |

Dream Sequence: In the two-part Christmas Special, Annie has several of them in which she's a female Ebenezer Scrooge (named Annie Scrooge) because, in the first part, she was in a bad mood and finally criticized her classmates (and Zach) while they're setting up the Christmas Carol play. |

Argument of Contradictions: Annie accusing Zach of causing her bike accident results in a "Yes you did!" "No I didn't!" "You did too!" argument between them until Plato stops them from bickering. Then it's lampshaded when Plato tells Annie that arguing with a friend isn't the right answer to an accident. |

Covers Always Lie: The logo of the series, which depicts a lineup consisting of black silhouettes of the main characters standing against a red background with the show's title underneath them, along with a large yellow "jungle" font (reminiscent of the Jurassic Park logo) for "ADVENTURES", seems like it would fit well for an action/adventure series, but the actual show itself is more about characters telling Christian values, fairy tales and other famous stories. |

Never My Fault: In "Responsibility", Annie blames Zach for her bike accident, but he keeps telling her that he didn't ask her to race. This leads to an argument between them. Later in "Integrity", Annie tries blaming Zach for making her sell their weather vanes really fast, but it was actually the fact that she cut the corners. In one scene of "Trustworthiness", Zach doesn't believe Annie for taking his sandwich and eating it. |

Anti-Escapism Aesop |
| | Adventures from the Book of Virtues / int_9981590a |
comment |
Anti-Escapism Aesop: "Moderation" has the problem being that Zach watches too much TV at once at the expense of his obligations and hobbies. It can some off as somewhat of a "Too much TV", which is a little hypocritical when you consider that the aesop is delivered via a TV show (and to the characters via storybooks... another form of escapism). However, the episode notably never says that TV itself is inherently bad— it's just that he's doing it too much. It comes off as much much less hypocritical than the Arthur episode about TV. |

Bolt of Divine Retribution: At the beginning the first episode "Work", a raging thunderstorm occurs, so everyone rushes to the cave—except for Sock, who just sits on a branch of a tree. When told by Plato that the tree isn't very safe to sit on during thunders, Sock disagrees, thinking the tree is very safe. Cue a lightning strike hitting the branch he's sitting on, and thus he falls on the ground. |

Oh, Crap!: In "Responsibility", the animals get this look when they see Annie racing towards the rock. Zach also has one at the beginning of "Compassion", when he sees that his neighbor's house is in flames. Then in "Courage", Sock does this by screaming when a spiral (which he thinks is an earthquake) is being dug around him and Ari pops out underneath him. The characters may have this reaction during some of Sock's Epic Fails. Ari in "Charity", when Sock is about to shove a giant snowball on top of him. |

Negative Continuity: The episodes do not seem to take place in linear fashion; no character speaks in memoriam of a previous incident, and there is no intimation that the kids act based on a previously referenced virtue. |

Shout-Out |
| | Adventures from the Book of Virtues / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: Plato often recites Rudyard Kipling and other famous authors. At the beginning of "Perseverance", when the kids tell Sock that Plato's Peak looks just like Plato, he reminds them "Next you'll be tellin' me there's a mountain in South Dakota that looks like four presidents!" He's actually referring to Mount Rushmore. In "Honesty", during the Frog Prince story, the frog at one point says: "Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!" When a new kids' movie cable channel arrives in "Moderation" (2000), Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz were mentioned in the letter that the cable company sent to Zach's family. Also, at the beginning of the episode, The Black Stallion was seen as one of the movies playing on the channel. |

Know When to Fold 'Em |
| | Adventures from the Book of Virtues / int_e16cd24e |
comment |
Know When to Fold 'Em: Basically the premises of the two "Perseverance" episodes. In the first one, Zach and Annie give up on their guitar and karate lessons respectively, because Zach said that playing a guitar is boring and Annie said that karate is very hard. At the end of the episode, after being told stories with the episode's virtue, the kids get over their problems and happily revisit the two topics. In the second one, Annie was racing with Zach on their bikes in the woods, but gets outrun by him when he wins the race and becomes so disappointed about it that she wants to quit. Later on, Annie tries racing with Zach again after resolving her problem and somehow manages to outrun him. |

comment |
Art Evolution: The animation design in season two has been changed, noticeably streamlining the designs on Zach and Annie to make them look a little like teenagers, in addition to darkening the backgrounds a bit and making the cells lighter. Finally, in season three, the animation quality is a little less smooth than the first two seasons and also added black outlines on the characters, even though the backgrounds are lighter again and the character designs are completely unchanged. |

Sequel Episode |
| | Adventures from the Book of Virtues / int_eb37fe59 |
comment |
Sequel Episode: Of a sort. The episode "Responsibility" features the story "Icarus and Daedalus" while the later episode "Courage" features the story "Theseus and the Minotaur." Of course, those are closely linked stories in Classical Mythology. Note that in the original myths, King Minos imprisoned Daedalus after Theseus slew the Minotaur, but The Book of Virtues reworks the stories so that "Theseus and the Minotaur" comes off as a sequel to "Icarus and Daedalus." Also, both feature Tim Curry as the voice of King Minos. |

Right in Front of Me: At the beginning of "Perseverance", the kids let Sock use their binoculars so he can see Plato's Peak using it, but then Plato steps up in front of him and asks Sock what is he looking at.

Shoo Out the Clowns: This happens twice to Sock: Once in "Perseverance", where he only shows up at the beginning; and again in "Courage" (2000), where he goes away when Ari (who has been toned down during this part) tells Zach the story of Zach and the Beanstalk.note However, this trope excludes Samuel the mouse, the story character. Also, he's completely absent in "Responsibility" (2000). |
