Faith, Fun, and Family: Why ‘The Chosen Adventures’ Is the Animated Series Your Kids Will Fall in Love With

When a curious nine-year-old named Abby begins asking deep, delightful, and sometimes downright hilarious questions—like “Do fishermen ever catch turtles?” or “Why did God make wasps?”—you know you’re in for a story that sparkles with heart and humor. The Chosen Adventures, now streaming on Prime Video, takes viewers back to first-century Galilee through the eyes of a child whose wonder leads her straight to an encounter with Jesus Himself. Voiced by Jonathan Roumie, the same beloved actor from The Chosen, Jesus becomes a warm mentor and gentle guide for Abby, answering her endless questions with divine wisdom and fatherly care. What unfolds across 14 episodes is a joy-filled, gospel-centered journey that’s both entertaining and deeply meaningful for children and parents alike.

1. Familiar Voices, Fresh Talent, and Faith-Filled Storytelling
Produced by 5&2 Studios—the creative force behind The Chosen—this animated spin-off brings together a stunning voice cast that blends the familiar and the fresh. Fans will recognize Jonathan Roumie (Jesus), Elizabeth Tabish (Mary Magdalene), and Noah James (Andrew), alongside new faces like Paul Walter Hauser (Inside Out 2), Yvonne Orji (Insecure), and Romy Fay (The Wingfeather Saga). Together, they create a world brimming with warmth, laughter, and authenticity. Director Dallas Jenkins and co-writer Ryan Swanson ensure that the storytelling remains anchored in biblical truth while bursting with imagination. It’s not just animation—it’s ministry wrapped in adventure.

2. A Wholesome Adventure That’s Fun, Fast, and Full of Heart
Each 11-minute episode is the perfect blend of energy and education. Abby’s lively escapades—joined by her quirky companions, Sheep and Pigeon—unfold with humor reminiscent of classic duos like Timon and Pumbaa or R2-D2 and C-3PO. Every story zips along with quick wit and charming visuals, designed to captivate both little ones and the adults watching with them. From puppet shows to lessons on creation, the tone stays lighthearted without losing its soul, offering families a delightful way to unwind together while learning timeless truths.

3. Rooted in the Gospel, Rich in Everyday Lessons
Beyond the laughter and adventure, The Chosen Adventures is unmistakably gospel-centric. Each episode weaves in spiritual lessons—obedience, patience, gratitude, and the beauty of creation—through simple yet profound storytelling. In one standout scene, Jesus explains that even wasps have a divine purpose, reminding Abby (and viewers) that “Every creature plays its part in God’s plan.” It’s moments like this that transform the series from simple entertainment into a faith-deepening experience. As Dallas Jenkins puts it, the goal is for every viewer—young or old—to “know and love Jesus a little bit more.”

With five-star storytelling, faith-centered themes, and laughter that lights up every episode, The Chosen Adventures is more than a children’s show—it’s a family tradition in the making. So gather your loved ones, press play, and get ready for a journey th
