Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of parents and kids watching together and anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.

In keeping with her vow, Hannah dedicates her child to God. From his days as a young boy serving Eli, the high priest, to guiding the ancient Israelites, Samuel the prophet stands as an inspiring example of how we, too, can delight in our relationship with God. This story brings to life several episodes from the life of Samuel and invites all to discover the joy of faithful service to God.
