VEGGIETALES Creator’s New Show Gets February Premiere Date

By Movieguide® Contributor

THE DEAD SEA SQUIRRELS, a new animated series from the co-creator of VEGGIETALES, is premiering Feb. 14. 

Based on a series of books by the same name, THE DEAD SEA SQUIRRELS “brings to life — literally — the tales of Merle and Pearl, a pair of squirrels who are old enough to have heard Jesus’ teachings in real time,” a synopsis of the show reads

“Yet they are vibrant enough — thanks to their new human pal Michael — to go on hilarious adventures in America with a group of fifth-grade friends,” it continues. “Hijinks ensue as this salty couple reanimate and take their new friends on adventures full of action, humor, music and character building.”

THE DEAD SEA SQUIRRELS will premiere exclusively on the Minno platform.  

“As a parent, I know how important it is to find content that not only entertains but also helps kids grow in their faith,” said Erick Goss, CEO and Co-Founder of Minno. “We 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. We’re honored to continue that effort in our collaboration with Mike Nawrocki and Steve Taylor – THE DEAD SEA SQUIRRELS is something truly special.”

Nawrocki added, “Since my last VEGGIETALES episode 10 years ago, it’s been a dream to create another fun, faith-filled series for families. THE DEAD SEA SQUIRRELS builds on the VEGGIETALES legacy by introducing a new cast of characters to this generation of kids and families. Partnering with New Zealand’s Mukpuddy Animation Studio along with faculty mentors and top tier animation students at Lipscomb University’s Imagine House productions has brought an incredible level of artistry to this project.”

“Most of the time you feel compromised when someone’s watching a subscription service like Netflix or Disney Plus,” Goss said in an interview with The Baptist Messenger. “And Minno is a place where you can feel at home…We really want to look at ourselves as a partner for Christian parents.”
