comment |
Developed by Hanna-Barbera from 1985 to 1993, The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible was a 13-episode direct-to-video series that featured three young explorers, Derek, Margo, and Moki, traveling through time via unexplained Doorways of Time, which allow them to witness some of the major events recorded in The Bible. Often even within the same episode, they would stumble across one of the Doorways, allowing them to witness events from the same story that took place years later.Similar to Superbook and Flying House, the series tried to focus on making the characters from the biblical stories relatable and believable. Surprisingly, it also adhered as closely to the original stories as possible, keeping many of the elements that most Moral Guardians quietly edit out to make the stories "appropriate" for children, editing only the relative closeness of events in order to keep within the 30-minute time frame.The series was a personal effort from Joe Barbera, a lifelong and devout Catholic. Because of the close adherence, the series took the biblical stories very seriously; it was usually the side adventures of the time travelers that featured any comedy, although they often overlapped with the main story as the heroes tried to help the Biblical figures out in whatever way they could.These cartoons are still often shown to kids in Sunday School.It also shares an art style with Captain Planet and the Planeteers, as Ted Turner helped fund the project. |

Bloodless Carnage: "David and Goliath" opens with a village being attacked by the Philistines. While people are shown being speared, cut down with swords, and dragged behind horses, there is no blood visible. Averted later on, with Goliath's surprisingly gory death at the hands of David. |

Title Sequence Replacement |
| | The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible / int_150994fe |
comment |
Title Sequence Replacement: There are two subtly different versions of the intro. In the first, the writing on the Doorway of Time is in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Perhaps associating a magic time door with the Ancient Egyptians was too pagany, because subsequent episodes (and re-releases of earlier episodes) replace it with a generic Middle-Eastern-looking script. It was sort of a moot exercise anyway, as the chamber itself is still clearly Egyptian-themed. |

Artistic License – Biology |
| | The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible / int_18aff462 |
comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Since these videos were made for children, it was assumed that they wouldn't question the animals that were placed in the Garden. However, baraminologists and taxonomists would agree that placing modern species and sub-species in the garden when Genesis clearly states "created kinds" is a bit of a problem. Especially since it increases several thousandfold how many animals Adam would have had to name. It also complicates things for the Noah episode, an issue ignored by that episode as well. |

comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: The "Nativity" episode shows the Magi walking into the manger in Bethlehem where Jesus was born - rather than arriving several years after the fact (either at his baptism or not) not on his actual birthday but on Epiphany. This was done to avoid plot holes and to give a conclusion to their 'story'. |

Straw Feminist |
| | The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible / int_76d233f9 |
comment |
Traditionally, Vashti is seen as a wicked Straw Feminist while Esther is praised for being a properly submissive wife. Since the 19th century, there has been a feminist invokedAlternative Character Interpretation that views Vashti as an independent-minded heroine and Esther as a worthless pushover. In the Greatest Adventure version, both women are portrayed sympathetically, with the apparent reasoning that Vashti only had herself to be concerned about whereas Esther did what she had to do to save her people. This third interpretation is probably more common in contemporary Judaism and Christianity than either of the first two. |

Regretful Traitor: In "Samson and Delilah," Delilah is shown throwing away the money she got for betraying Samson. (The Bible doesn't actually mention whether she felt guilty for her actions.) In "The Easter Story," Judas regrets selling out Jesus Christ to the Sanhedrin so much that he throws the 30 Silver reward at their feet and ran away with his face covered in shame. |

Take a Third Option |
| | The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible / int_950bbfa7 |
comment |
Take a Third Option: The show has done this a couple times with Biblical controversies: Traditionally, Vashti is seen as a wicked Straw Feminist while Esther is praised for being a properly submissive wife. Since the 19th century, there has been a feminist invokedAlternative Character Interpretation that views Vashti as an independent-minded heroine and Esther as a worthless pushover. In the Greatest Adventure version, both women are portrayed sympathetically, with the apparent reasoning that Vashti only had herself to be concerned about whereas Esther did what she had to do to save her people. This third interpretation is probably more common in contemporary Judaism and Christianity than either of the first two. "The Easter Story" dodges the whole issue of responsibility for the death of Christ. When Derek, Margo, and Moki start to go down that path, Mark puts the issue aside by saying that it doesn't really matter since Christ was fated to die for humanity's sins anyway. There are brief shots of dinosaurs in "Creation," but they only appear prior to the creation of Adam. This leaves it ambiguous whether the "seven days" are metaphorical, thus avoiding siding with either Young Earth creationism or Old Earth creationism. |

Shout-Out: Moses wears the same outfit worn by Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments. Also, the scene where Egypt's water is turned to blood is a nearly shot-for-shot copy of the same scene from The Ten Commandments. The Creation of Earth bears some resemblance to Fantasia, with all the volcanoes and such. |

No Ending |

comment |
No Ending: There's no Grand Finale in which the time-travelers return to the present. For all we know, they live out the rest of their lives in the biblical era. In fact, they seem curiously unconcerned about returning to their own time. |

Who's Laughing Now?: Shem smirked that the people that were laughing at them is no longer laughing when the flood came. Noah, however, expresses pity toward their destruction and tells his son the same. |

Fed to the Beast |
| | The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible / int_f594c8a9 |
comment |
Fed to the Beast: In "Daniel and the Lion's Den," a tamer found Tribulus the lion to be untamable and considered selling it to Babylon so that he could be an addition to the lion pit where they throw the criminals. Of course, since this is the story of Daniel, he called upon God to send an angel to protect him so that he could praise his name. |

Shown Their Work: "Moses" correctly features Aaron doing most of Moses' dirty work, whereas more famous adaptations have Moses performing all the wonders himself. |
