In PAL format i.e. suitable for the UK, Australia, Africa etc but not suitable for the USA or Canada.

1.         The Outsider

Primary Audience: Ages 7-12. Time: 60 minutes. Matt desperately wants to belong. He's a new boy in a British School and from the USA. However one particular person is equally determined to stop Matt from joining his circle of friends. Even Amy, the one friend he does have, seems to be making things worse! This is not helped when Matt and Amy stumble across a cantankerous old man who demands their help and rewards them only with insults and ingratitude. As Matt tries to win a place as an insider, his skill on the soccer pitch, his personal loyalties and ultimately his faith are all placed in a pressure cooker. Then someone turns up the heat!

2.         The Intruder

Primary Audience: Ages 8-12 Time: 55 minutes. The comfortable existence of the Barton family is shattered when the insecure cousin Kevin (14) comes to stay. Everyone's patience is tested severely as the intruder unintentionally sets about breaking up their furniture, their security and even their very lives. Rachel (13) resents the intrusion intensely and does her best to set the rest of the family against this unwelcome guest. An adventure unfolds when the four children discover a cache of stolen property in a derelict old house. What should they do with it? Their various reactions bring to the surface some of the behaviour and attitudes that must be dealt with in every child. Here is a family with all the typical problems that most of us face. In it, Kevin struggles between the desire to run away and the desperate longing to be accepted for who he is. This is a heart warming story of a young boy's struggle for acceptance, and his discovery of a love that welcomes him without reserve.

3.         The Rescuer

Primary Audience: Ages 8-12 Time: 59 minutes. "They're killing the eagles!" shouts Rachel. Determined to bring the culprits to justice, she recklessly draws the others into danger and an adventure they never wanted. While Matt stands up to Rachel's angry taunts, he's unable to save her and her friend Cassie from an even greater danger. As darkness falls, a terrified Cassie pleads with Rachel not to leave her alone on the treacherous cliff. The ferociously independent rescuer, now trapped by her own growing compassion, is herself in need of help. Frightened and dismayed, she is faced with a decision that will change her life for ever. This fast-paced film is a blend of classic adventure, breathtaking scenery (the Lake District, England) and a heart-warming discovery of the love and forgiveness of God.

Last Chance Detectives Series DVDs and some CDs by Focus on the Family
Customer Ratings:   One Customer Rating:  Primary Audience for all of them: Ages 9-14  These films do more than just mention God/faith etc, in passing. They integrate in the film some positive aspects that come from the Christian faith.

 1.        Mystery Lights of Navajo Mesa DVD Time: 46 Minutes

Join the Last Chance Detectives in this fast-paced mystery adventure as they discover lessons about forgiveness. At first it was a strange voice over an old radio, then inexplicable disappearances and mystery lights in Navajo Mesa developing into a sinister plot with international consequences.

2.         Legend of the Desert Bigfoot DVD Time: 53 minutes

Adventure explodes onto the screen, plunging the Last Chance Detectives into a mystery where they learn about integrity and the importance of doing what’s right, even when it’s tough.  What are the long coarse strands of hair that the vet cannot identify? What about old Silas’ wild story? Who do the "Big Foot" steps belong to?

3.         Escape from Fire Lake DVD Time: 50 minutes. Probably now only available second hand.

Left by two thieves to die in the desert, Mike braves the scorching heat in a desperate attempt to survive. A story of survival and hope, the Last Chance Detectives race against time to follow a trail of clues in a desperate search in a thrilling story of personal faith in God and the difference it makes in times of crisis.

There are other films and CDs that I have not seen but assuming that they are based on the same principles of the above three they would be worth buying. This includes:

4.         The Day Ambrosia Stood Still – CD – Limited availability.
One Customer Rating:
Something strange is going on in Ambrosia and Jason Whittaker lands right in the middle of it. His car horn beeps on its own, the radio plays by itself, and the vehicle careens wildly out of control. Things are just as haywire at the Last Chance Diner, where the silverware suddenly moves across the table! The Last Chance Detectives jump on the case, but the mystery deepens after Jason mysteriously vanishes. This is a twist-filled whodunit that explores greed, corruption and other hazards of gambling.

"Animated Stories from the Bible" for the Old Testament (12 DVDs) and "The Animated Stories from the New Testament" (24 DVDs).
Customer Rating for all:  Mine are  or  

Primary Audience for all: Ages 6-11 Time: 24 Minutes Suitable for DVD players in the UK.
‘In this beautifully animated series of Old Testament Bible stories attention to scriptural detail is good overall, but there are discrepancies in some episodes (most of which are very minor).’ (Christian Spotlight on Entertainment).

"Abraham and Isaac"

Abraham's obedience to God is rewarded through the ultimate test of trust. It is well done and accurate except at the end. It shows some of the tensions between Sarah and the Ishmael’s mother Hagar. It also depicts the stark contrast between the selfish heart of Ishmael and his younger half-brother, Isaac. However when it comes to sacrificing Isaac, Abraham is shown to question God and asks what sin he has committed and he will repent of it which is not in the Bible.

 "David and Goliath"

David is the prophet’s surprise choice as the future king. But later armed with only a slingshot and faith in God, David courageously faces a fearsome giant. It also shows obedience and determination. This is well done. I do not think that the table manners at Jesse's house would have been quite as bad as made out. David finally goes to the battle where he deals with Goliath with his sling. There is no bloodshed shown.  

"The Prodigal Son"

This parable tells of the son who comes home to a forgiving father after squandering his share of his inheritance. This is well and quite accurately made. The DVD starts with a song about being glad to see you home and then with the Lord Jesus talking with the crowds (who are a bit sparse for crowds) and the Pharisees both before and after the parable. The son’s wasting of money in the far country is appropriately shown. He is brought to his senses and comes home to his father’s welcome.

 "The Good Samaritan"

A story of robbers, a Rabbi, a Levite, a wounded traveller and a stranger with a big heart who teaches us to love our neighbours. This is well and quite accurately made. This one is more for christians. It shows the man of the house thinking that all would be well for his journey despite what others say. However he is robbed and beaten and thrown over the precipice but afterwards manages to climb back to the road again! The Jew's enmity for the Samaritan is clearly shown as well as the great care that the Samaritan had for the stranger by the roadside.

"The Miracles of Jesus"

Christ’s compassion is evident in these stories of miracles that illustrate His love. This is also well and quite accurately made.
