Once Upon a Time

Three sisters try to guess which story their grandpa wants to tell them.  It's his favorite story... one from a long time ago... the most important story of all.   As they guess incorrectly, each fairytale, the stories come alive, and surprisingly, they tell a bit of the story the grandpa is trying his best to tell...

St. George and the Dragon

The history of Saint George is retold in a fairy-tale-like version, complete with a princess and baby dragons.  George is brave and kind, and he baptizes the people of Selene after slaying the dragon.  He also inspires the heart of the princess and encourages a bumbling King to do what is right.

A school bus carrying children on a field trip breaks down in front of an old museum.  As they wait for a new ride, the owners show them around the abandoned exhibits.  We are introduced to those who came before Jesus in the Bible, those who set the stage for him:  Noah, David, Abraham and Sarah, and Mary and Joseph are all statues who come to life in front of the childrens’ eyes.  There are many characters including the children on the bus, the owners of the museum and their family, the bus driver, and more.
