Toybox Tales features a new show “Choose Your Hero” where contestants choose which hero they want to imitate.   Most heroes have a weakness except for Jesus who loves us, walks with us, and saves us from evil.

The heroes are lined up: Superman, Earthworm Jim, Jesus of Nazareth, and Kim Possible.

The first contestant chose Superman, but was easily defeated when a huge kryptonite ball was used by his enemy.

The second contestant chose Earthworm Jim, who was taken for breakfast by an eagle.

Kim Possible was chosen by the third contestant. The hero didn’t do so well when her high school officer took her to report her failures to her parents.

The last contestant made the best choice. Jesus is the perfect hero who loves us, walks with us, and saves us from evil.

Once upon a time, there was a man who thought he was the greatest man who ever lived. He learned his lesson the hard way when he was turned to a beast, and even a hamster.  When he acknowledged that Jesus is the greatest man who lived through the help of Belle, the hamster was brought back to his old self and lived happily ever.

A big strong man, he thought he was. The greatest one who ever lived. The king of the world even.

Not long after, an eagle captured him and turned him into a beast to teach him who the true greatest man who ever lived was. But then he thought he was quite a cute beast.

The eagle took him again and made him worse.

Belle dropped by the mansion and told the man that Jesus was the king, the greatest one who ever lived.

The man acknowledged Jesus and was turned back to his old self. And so the story went, and the two lived ever after.

This is a powerful (and funny) parable of salvation.  Through the adventures of three little knights Moe, Joe, and Boe — children will see how God allowed Satan free in order to teach us about both his power and mercy.  End with a surprising death and resurrection of the main character, the King’s Son, the Champion.  This is a special series, each stands alone, but is part of a four part saga!

The Dark Knight plans to put all his captives in a canon and shoot them to a thrift store.

The Champion arrives to the rescue.

The Dark Knight defeats him.

However, the Champion resurrects and finally defeats the Dark Knight because Moe called upon the name of the Champion, Jesus.

Moe, Joe, and Boe are free at last, and Boe is back to bumping everywhere because of his huge helmet.

What does it profit a man to conquer the whole galaxy but loses his soul?  That’s what Darth Nader learns when he tries to conquer the planets of Kermit, Jar Jar, and Buzz Lightyear.  Darth Nader seemed victorious but he suddenly got a virus from a mosquito and drops dead.

Kermit was surrounded by Darth Nader’s forces so he surrendered the planet to him.

Same with Jar Jar who gave planet Naboo to Darth Nader’s power.

Buzz Lightyear tried to fight back but Darth Nader said he’ll Super Soak the whole planet if Buzz doesn’t surrender.

The little people had no choice but to surrender.

All of a sudden, Darth Nader got a virus from a mosquito and dropped dead. A lesson was learned that it does not profit a man to conquer the whole galaxy if he loses his soul.
