Why Real Heroes?

Real Heroes will take the Christian message in the form of well told, three dimensional, funny, animated, Bible stories, into the homes of urban children between 9 and 12 years of age (and to their extended families & friends). Never before has technology provided us with the opportunity to bring the greatest heroes of the Bible to life in this way.

This animated series intends to weave the values and timeless truths of biblical stories into the lives of the real people in Robbie's life.

Three dimensional animation, as seen with movies like Toy Story, Ice Age and Shrek are extremely popular, not only with the 9-12 target age group of children, but also with their siblings, parents and grandparents.

Initially, 13 stories will be produced: one story will be featured on a single DVD, along with supplementary materials. Eventually, dozens of stories could be brought to millions of children, not only in the Asia Pacific Region, the United States & United Kingdom, but right across the world: in urban, rural, western and developing countries.

Objectives of the Real Heroes Animation Project

• To develop a series of animated programs featuring Biblical characters who will become positive role models to our target audience: ordinary people who make the right choices;
  
• To entertain, educate and inspire a generation of children who have never read the Bible or learned about God and His plan to save them through Jesus Christ;
  
• To develop multiple language versions of the series for distribution into third world/developing countries which have little or no Christian influence.
  
• To provide present and future generations of children with answers to perplexing life issues;
  
• To teach protection strategies for the target audience (i.e. Stranger Danger, Child Abuse is wrong);
  
• To create animated personalities with the potential to become friends & spokespersons to kids;
  
• To develop supporting devotional literature and “appropriate” merchandise;
  
• To create interactive software, cartoons, competitions, literature and games through a web-site;
  
• To provide a DVD of Real Heroes into the hands of every Year 5 child in Australia via the Bible Society or Gideon’s in future years;
  
• To become self sustaining through national and international sales within 5 years;
  
• To provide profits to principal investors and funds for children’s charities and ministries around the world.
