Dangerous Journey is that beautifully illustrated adventure story that shows children the basic themes of the Christian life and pilgrimage.

Bunyan’s classic faithfully told with period art and music
This is our family’s all-time favorite video of John Bunyan’s classic. The art is styled from Bunyan’s era. The narrator’s dramatic reading is compelling and well represents the characters which Bunyan immortalized. The original, period music is a great addition. We appreciate the tale being divided into episodes as it offers very natural breaks for discussion and reflection. We were excited to find this dvd recording many years after we could no longer play our vhs copy. We are all older but are enjoying this favorite all over again.

Very Entertaining Non-Animated Film
This is one a few non-live action films telling a story based on a book. It can be watched by adults without becoming boring. Instead of relying on live action or animation, the film uses the artwork from the book, which is very good, and very good narration and voice acting with some sound effects. I appreciated these things aside from the story of the Pilgrim's Progress itself. This film is good for children not old enough yet to read the full book. Note that there are a couple of changes in the narrative from the original story, even as a short summary of the full work.

Pretty faithful child's version of the original
There are many subtle evolutions of the Pilgrim's Progress which are purposely & strategically deceptive in their misrepresentations of Bunyan's classic & scripturally faithful allegory. This has angered & disappointed us over the years as the purpose driven duplicity & misrepresentation of activist materials denied our Lord & wasted our time & money, while pretty much deceiving a generation. This does not appear to be another of those & for that we are grateful.

Not that good
This is a 135 minute film consisting of nine 15 minute segments. The first 8 segments are Christian's pilgrimage. The ninth segment is Christiana's pilgrimage.It consists of a series of still pictures with one narrator narrating it. I would actually rather just read the book.

Flee From the City of Destruction
God's wrath will soon be felt by the present world. The time is short. Israel, the key to Bible prophecy is back in the land. Technology will allow the future one world leader to control by determining who can buy or sell ( chip under the skin). This old Christian classic is presented in beautiful pictures with voice backgrounds is a great presentation of how Christians can escape the wrath to come through the Cross of Jesus Christ and how to get through a life of temptations and trials ( all dramatized in allegorical fashion) to reach the end of the goal, heaven.

Dangerous Journey
A brilliant retelling of The Pilgrim's Progress. It is narrated by Paul Copley who has just the right voice, altho' it states on Amazon's description that the actor is Michael Kramer. I was delighted to find that Paul Copley, the original narrator, was narrating my copy of it from Amazon. Not at all disappointed that it wasn't Michael Kramer. The Pilgrim's Progress is a thought-provoking story, but one which I think would be too difficult for the modern child to read. This dvd presents the story very well & very faithfully. I look forward to watching it with our granddaughter.

Much better than other videos
This version of Pilgrim's Progress is much closer to the book than any on the market. This is not a running animation, but rather still photos using zoom-in and out. My children wore out the VHS back in the day so I bought the DVD for grandkids.

Just what I was looking for!!!
Yes. I think it's great! It is basically the book being read with the pictures and more pictures added for visuals. The camera focuses on different parts of the pictures that fit the script. It also zooms in and out and moves across the page. It is done well. It is not like a movie though and that is why some people are disappointed. It is just what I was looking for. I loves the book by the same title and I love hhis DVD too. Thanks
