I grew up on the Hanna Barbara Stories from the Bible and loved them. I think it gives kids a real interest and love for the stories. I have always thought the "three young archeologists" were a little distracting, but once you get past that, and view it with and open dialoge with your child, I think it can open many doors leading to Christ. No videos are going to ever really do the Bible justice, that's why Christ is the "WORD" and not the video. But if you take it with a grain of salt and use them as a tool, it can be very helpful. Wish they would offer them all on DVD.
More specifically, the Easter Story was told very basic and done fairly well.
