Give Up Yer Aul Sins - Death Of Jesus

This series, including the original Oscar-nominated short, from Brown Bag Films is based upon the 1960s recordings of young children telling Bible stories in a classroom to their schoolteacher. When a film crew arrives at an inner city Dublin National School to record the children, the result is a warm, funny and spontaneous animated documentary, featuring young children telling the story of John the Baptist, The birth of Jesus, the Crucifixion, Saint Patrick and others. Give Up Yer Aul Sins combines simple humour with clever
animation to create films with a timeless quality and appeal to a family audience. Give Up Yer Aul Sins has screened in almost 50 film festivals, including The Galway Film Fleadh (where it won Best Animation), Cork Film Festival (Best Irish and Best International Animation), Cartoons on Bay (Special Award for Original Idea), NewYork Comedy Festival, Boston Irish Film Festival, Aspen Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival.

My personal faith or lack of is not relevant. I'd show these cartoons to Christians, atheists, Jewish, anyone. This is not a religious statement. This is happy children, excited to be on television, telling these stories that just so happen to be Bible stories.

This is warm and innocent and a good thing.

"And that look turned him into a saint... and his two families too...." Awk, God love her lol.

How original, sounds like someone has read the 'god delusion' and thinks they have something important and substantial to say in the face of 2000 years of philosophy and theology. You don't realise it, but you're the modern day sheep, you're the one who is going along with the crowd. Christians, particularly Catholics are the most persecuted religion in the world, have you left many hate filled comments on Islamic videos? Bet not. Why don;t you research child abuse among Anglicans etc.

Poor mind raped children. They probably went on to poison their own children with these falsehoods. The beneficiary of this mind rape as the men in black who spread the mind rape but are after the actual rape of the poor children. History don't lie. Religion is evil.

@davedduchene It was recorded in the late 1960's in Rutland National Primary School in inner Dublin city. Religion is a compulsory part of all Irish children's primary education. TV crews were planning to make a show out of the stories in the 60s but the recording were just stored in a library until the Irish Film Board discovered them at the turn of the century and they were animated and released in 2002

..when was this recorded, does anybody know? The children demonstrate a far greater literacy and love in the account of the Lord Jesus and His crucifixion than children in today's schools. Perhaps it's a Sunday School class?

I'm an atheist and I grew up in Ireland as a Catholic so I'm more than familiar with these stories. Whats beautiful about this is the innocense of the kids and how they feel sad when Jesus dies. Jesus was cool, its christians that have fucked up his teachings and turned them hateful.

Reminds me when I first heard of the story of Jesus.
