Review and Giveaway: Theo Presents dvd

Posted in Reviews

Theo Presents is an all new animated video series from the same man, Michael Joens, who brought to you animated favorites such as McGee and Me and Adventures in Odyssey.  Mike created the concept of Theo back in 1978, but the Lord wasn’t ready to open the door for it’s production until now.  One little tidbit that I found interesting is that Mike is a former Marine who ended up in the animation industry after attending Bible college.  He worked for several big name companies such as Marvel Productions, Warner Brothers,  and Hanna Barbera Studios before starting his own animation…

Mommy!”  I shot up out of bed concerned that something bad had happened.  As I’m trying to wake up, I hear, “There are babies!  Rosita had babies!  There are 3 babies!  Come one, come on, come on!!” So, downstairs we went to see the…
