Minno's New Animated Series 'The Dead Sea Squirrels' Set to Debut February 14, 2025

Minno, recognized as the premier platform for Christian content designed for children and families, has revealed an exciting premiere scheduled for February 14, 2025. This date marks the launch of 'The Dead Sea Squirrels', a delightful animated series created by Mike Nawrocki, known for co-creating the beloved 'VeggieTales'. With a strong production team led by renowned music producer and filmmaker Steve Taylor, this series promises to be an endearing addition to family-friendly programming.

This vibrant show introduces viewers to the whimsical adventures of Merle and Pearl, two squirrels who have astonishingly been preserved in sea salt for 2,000 years, trapped in a cave by the Dead Sea. Their journey starts when a curious ten-year-old boy named Michael accidentally brings them home from his father's archaeological dig. As they wake up in the modern world, they enthusiastically share valuable lessons inspired by the teachings of Jesus, all while engaging viewers with their quirky personalities.

The impressive cast for this animated adventure includes Mike Nawrocki himself, who reprises his role as the animated voice of Merle, while also featuring guest appearances from notable personalities like Phil Vischer (voice of Bob the Tomato from VeggieTales), Duncan Phillips of The Newsboys, and Christian author Beth Moore. Original music will play a crucial role in the series, with contributions from Christian artists such as Matthew West, Bart Millard of MercyMe, and Ellie Holcomb, adding a contemporary touch to the storytelling.

The artistic quality of 'The Dead Sea Squirrels' is elevated by the talent of Tom Bancroft, an animator with an impressive background with Disney on classics like 'Beauty and the Beast', ‘The Lion King’, and ‘Aladdin’. Furthermore, the partnership with New Zealand's Mukpuddy Animation Studio and enthusiastic animation students from Lipscomb University's Imagine House aims to deliver high-quality visuals and storytelling that resonate with both children and their families.

Erick Goss, CEO and co-founder of Minno, expresses the importance of providing content that not only entertains but also enriches children's understanding of their faith. Minno's commitment to quality Christian programming continues to shine through with 'The Dead Sea Squirrels', following successful series like 'The Laugh & Grow Bible for Kids' and 'Young David'. Nawrocki himself conveys his excitement in continuing the legacy established by 'VeggieTales', aiming to create a series that feels fresh and engaging for today’s generation.

With 'The Dead Sea Squirrels', Minno is solidifying its reputation as a leading provider of family-friendly, faith-based content, aiming to captivate young audiences globally. This series is set to be part of a multi-year deal with Wonder Project, ensuring comprehensive distribution across all platforms.

As the premiere date approaches, fans and new viewers alike are invited to tune in exclusively on the Minno streaming platform. With a strong message of faith, humor, and adventure, 'The Dead Sea Squirrels' is certainly poised to become a cherished series for many families.
