comment |
Testament: The Bible in Animation is a 1996 Animated Series produced by S4C. It features animated versions of stories from The Bible, each story using its own unique style of animation. It ran for two seasons in the United Kingdom and won one Emmy, with three nominations, in the United States.Not particularly well known, but often regarded as one of the best series to adapt the Bible. It was also successful enough to manage a DVD release. |

Darker and Edgier: Most definitely more than your average animated show about the Bible. It tended to adapt stories directly without any sanitation and some of them were quite bloody or disturbing or both. |

| | Testament: The Bible in Animation / int_396e1c2a |
comment |
Face Death with Dignity: Saul resigns himself to his fate and leads his army into battle. Reading the source material and looking at the way his body is framed, you can also see he decided it was Better to Die than Be Killed. Belshazzar grabs his sword and shield and goes out to fight the Medes rather than seek a way out, as you might imagine he would. |

Irrevocable Order |
| | Testament: The Bible in Animation / int_3994d78b |
comment |
Irrevocable Order: The Medes and Persians had a law that if the king's ring was used to seal a proclamation, then it could not be undone even if the king changed his mind. In "Daniel", King Darius made a decree that anyone who prayed to a God other than him for a period of a week would be fed to the lions—and sealed it with his ring. Daniel continued to pray, and despite Daniel being the King's favorite, and the King not wanting to go through with it, Daniel was still thrown to the lions. |

Humans Are Bastards: Invoked in "Creation and the Flood", which does a good job portraying the horrendeous state the world was in before the Flood in a short span of time. We see a king and his hunters chase after animals, and then go hunt a fellow human being for sport. |

| | Testament: The Bible in Animation / int_4a5fcde |
comment |
Adaptational Alternate Ending: In the original story of Jonah, the story ends with the titular character yelling at God to kill him after the small plant dies. This version extends it a bit more on God telling Jonah about forgiveness and while Jonah is still down, he understands more about it and smiles after seeing the children of Nineveh had become better people. |

Deadpan Snarker: Quite a lot of the characters, but Elijah takes the cake with his ridiculing of Baal's priests. |

| | Testament: The Bible in Animation / int_db912a80 |
comment |
The Good King: After the corrupt Babylonians, Darius is a refreshing example, making Daniel his governor. Nebuchadnezzar wasnt exactly good (he utterly destroyed Jerusalem) but is Affably Evil towards Daniel, raising him higher than any typical hostage would normally be. The Pharaoh in "Joseph" is a Reasonable Authority Figure who places absolute trust in Joseph's abilities in order to save Egypt from famine. |

comment |
Cain and Abel: Not the Trope Namer as might be expected, but Moses and Merneptah, the Pharaoh not realizing until after the Israelites have left that Moses was his friend. It is an interesting variation as Moses and Merneptah are not adopted brothers but, if we take the original text into account, rather adoptive nephew and uncle who are the same age. |
