The Story of Superbook
Superbook Classics
Superbook was first published as an animated series in Japan in 1981. At the time, nobody could have imagined the impact the series would have on children all over the world. Many children sat in front of their TV screens night after night and watched Superbook during prime time on Japanese television. The Bible became the best-selling book in Japan at the time.
In 1989, Superbook was then broadcast in the Soviet Union. During the broadcast, CBN received thousands of letters from children. An entire generation came into contact with the message of God’s love through Superbook.
After Japan and Russia, Superbook spread further and further around the world. Over 500 million people watched the 52 episodes of these two Superbook Classic seasons, which were translated into 43 languages and broadcast in 106 countries.
Flying House
Another CBN series was produced between the two Superbuch Classic seasons: The animated series The Flying House fits in wonderfully: While the second season of Superbuch Classic takes the viewer into the world of stories and events of the Old Testament, The Flying House is dedicated to events of the New Testament in a child-friendly way.
Reissue as an animation series
In 2011, the classic children’s series Superbook was relaunched as a modern animated series and its high-quality and loving design is not just a hit with young viewers. The new edition was developed together with a team of Emmy® award-winning artists who had previously worked on films such as The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast and Mulan.
