This week on Minno we’re featuring episodes from one of our favorite series, Theo!

About Theo

Theo is a kind English gentleman who teaches two friendly mice, Luther and Belfry, about God and the Bible.

What Parents Should Know

There are 16 full-episodes of Theo available on Minno, as well as a bonus music video featuring Ellie Holcomb’s song, “Love Never Fails”! Each episode of Theo is around 10-minutes long and opens up with whatever mischievous mice Luther and Belfry have gotten themselves into. Theo may explain a new term – such as “redemption” or “salvation” – before diving into a Shoebox Bible Theater segment. These beautifully animated segments, narrated by Theo, transport kids and families alike into the stories from the Bible and teach important Biblical truths that help the whole family grow in their faith. Each episode closes with Theo, Luther and Belfry as they apply what they’ve learned to their situation.

Below you’ll find the name of every episode, followed by the name of the Bible Shoebox Theater in parentheses, and a quick recap of what that segment covers:

• Episode 1: The Good News – the good news of the Gospel

What We Love

The first thing you’ll notice about Theo is its beautiful art and animation. The show features several different styles of animation throughout each episode – all equally stunning! And while the show is grounded in Biblical truth with teaching from Theo, Luther and Belfry help to lighten the mood and make the whole family laugh – making this a must-watch for every Minno family.
