Review & Giveaway of Children’s Series “Iesodo – Joy” 3


I received the “Iesodo – Joy” movie from Elliott at Edify Media, Inc. and was asked to view them and then give my opinion.  I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

My family had watched some of the previous Iesodo movies and I reviewed those here.  We heard about this new one that came out and couldn’t wait to see it.  Even older kids like it and that includes me!! ha/ha  The story was based on Joseph & Mary’s trip, as she was expecting.  It was adorable to see it in a bird’s sense…I cannot imagine flying while almost ready to have a baby!!  The story has an great way to speak to kids in a way they can understand, and help them to feel God’s love in it.  This would be a perfect gift for Christmas, as a way to praise the Lord for sending His Son for us here on earth.

All of the Iesodo videos that we have watched have been great – I would definitely recommend these to any parent, school group or Sunday School for sure!

A beautifully crafted animated series to help teach children “The Way of Jesus”

Los Angeles , California- Iesodo (YAY-sa-doe) is a highly acclaimed Telly Award winning series featuring a cast of animated birds who live in a Cypress Tree on the shores of Galilee. Presented with cutting edge imagery, Iesodo, which means “the way of Jesus”, is a wise and gentle dove that gives an allegory to the stories and messages of Jesus with “solid biblical teaching.” (American Family Journal). With each and every story, he and his lovable feathered friends “present the essence of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a winsome, compelling way.” (MovieGuide.org).

Zaya Toonz, the animation company behind Iesodo, assembled a collaboration of animation experts with experience in both the children’s and Christianjoy markets. Directors for the series include Brian E. Ray whose credits consist of “Muppet Babies,” “My Little Pony Tales” and “Ed, Ed, and Eddy,” as well as Colin Brady, whose credits include “Toy Story,” “Toy Story 2” and “A Bug’s Life.” Brady also served as the former animation supervisor for Pixar Animation Studios. Producer Eric S. Rollman, President of Rollman Entertainment, formerly served as President of Production for Fox Kids and Marvel, and writer/producer Rob Loos is an Emmy Nominee and writer/producer for “McGee and Me,” “Christmas Lamb,” “Kids 10 Commandments” and “Touched by an Angel.” The “Iesodo” series also features the voice of Erin Bethea (“Fireproof,” “Amazing Love”) as Maggie.
