Dallas Jenkins first talked about the idea for this animated series in 2024. He said he wanted to tell the story of Jesus through the eyes of children. He wanted to create a show that is witty and fun. He also wanted adults to enjoy it. The team wanted to make sure the audience would love the show.
Jenkins said: “There’s room here to tell the story of Jesus through the eyes of children in the whimsical format of animation. We thought there’s something there, seeing Jesus through the eyes of kids. We’re not going to expand on that in the mothership show. But what if we took time with that, in an animated show that was witty and fun and that adults could appreciate. We really wanted to get this right. We can’t afford for our second project to come out of the gate and people to go, ‘you know, it’s fine.’ But we really want to make sure that the audience really loves it.”
