Davey & Goliath on DVD

(Filed under: Animation)

Davey & Goliath is a strange chapter in the history of television. Created in the 1960s by Art and Ruth Clokey, who also created Gumby, and financed by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, it was an early attempt at moral and practically Christian television. Yet it happened long before Veggie Tales or The Passion of the Christ.

Davey & Goliath has seen a resurgence of late with last year's Davey and Goliath's Snowboard Christmas, this year's Happy Easter, and those odd Mountain Dew commercials. And don't forget that odd pipe bomb spoof on The Simpsons.

Davey & Goliath Vol. 1 comes to DVD next week (though volumes 1 & 2 are already available, the new volume appears to be the first made specifically for DVD).
