Minno, the #1 source of Christian content for kids and families, is thrilled to announce the worldwide release of the highly anticipated animated series, The Dead Sea Squirrels, exclusively on the Minno streaming platform NOW. <\/span><\/p>\n Created by Mike Nawrocki, co-creator of VeggieTales, and produced by Steve Taylor, acclaimed recording artist, music producer and filmmaker, the series boasts a star-studded cast, including: Nawrocki (previously VeggieTales\u2019 \u201cLarry the Cucumber\u201d), with guests appearances from Phil Vischer (VeggieTales\u2019 \u201cBob the Tomato\u201d), Duncan Phillips (The Newsboys), and Beth Moore, plus original songs featuring Christian recording artists Matthew West, MercyMe\u2019s Bart Millard, Ellie Holcomb and many others.<\/span><\/p>\n This groundbreaking series represents an extraordinary collaboration of talent, including contributions from acclaimed animator Tom Bancroft, whose experience with Walt Disney Feature Animation includes classics such as Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and Aladdin. Based on the best-selling book series published by Tyndale, The Dead Sea Squirrels follows the adventures of Merle and Pearl, a pair of squirrels who have been petrified in sea salt and stuck in a Dead Sea cave for 2,000 years. After 10-year-old Michael smuggles them home from his dad\u2019s archeological dig, the pair wake up and are ready to dive into the 21st century. Turns out they love sharing the lessons they learned first-hand from Jesus\u2019 teachings in their own nutty way.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAs a parent, I know how important it is to find content that not only entertains but also helps kids grow in their faith,\u201d said Erick Goss, CEO and Co-Founder of Minno. \u201cWe have been committed to being a source for world-class content for Christian kids with shows like The Laugh & Grow Bible for Kids and Young David.
