I grew up watching this series on TBN on Saturday mornings, and some afternoons during the week. It truly is fantastic. It is a Biblical allegory series, with humans being referred to as Lumans, who live in the kingdom of Lumia, who are overseen by the Emperor (God) and the Prince (Jesus). There is also Zordok (Satan) and his underlings, who don't like the Prince and the Emperor and try to sway the Lumans against them. They go as far as to crucify the Prince (reflecting the Crucifixion) and trying to show the Lumans that the Prince is no more. However, the Prince is alive again, and reveals himself to Pokum and Keena, who decide to help him try to prove to the other Lumans that he is alive, and that he will return in time to save every member of the kingdom. There is also a Princess who waits patiently for the Prince, protected by the Emperor and the Prince (referencing the church, I think). There is also the Bible referenced as the Book of Light, and Reagle, the right hand angel of the Prince.
This series is a puppet series mixed with animation. All of the characters are well voiced, and convey their emotions excellently. It makes the characters being very real. I also have to say that it was well composed as well, from its theme song, to its ending song and ambience. There are also a good number of songs that are scattered throughout the series, which were composed entirely for it. Song in the Wind and The Emperor's Wonderful World still make my heart happy. The lyrics, music, and they way they are sung are all really good.
This show presents Biblical material in a very entertaining way. Every episode is awesome. All are allegory of Biblical stories, that all in the end present a definite moral and biblical lesson that you can learn from. E.g. Song in Wind teaches you that once you make a decision for Jesus, and you keep your focus on him, you can avoid the fiery darts and temptation of the devil - he will always save you. It also taught you that your music should be handled with discernment. The song that is custom to this episode, Song in the Wind is very fitting as well.
If you can still find this series for viewing, check it out! You won't be disappointed. This is one of the best biblical series I have watched as a kid until now. I still enjoy watching the episodes.
