Davey and Goliath,
the stop-motion animation series for children, first aired on
broadcast television in 1960. This series was created by the
Lutheran Church in America, a predecessor church body of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and Art and Ruth
Clokey, well-known animators of Gumby and Pokey. The show focused
on Davey Hansen and his talking dog, Goliath, who acts as Davey’s
conscience.
The story lines
carried uplifting, moral lessons on such topics as responsibility,
the environment, acceptance of all people, and other valuable
lessons designed to affirm a child’s faith in God in an
entertaining and educational way.
Production included 65
fifteen-minute episodes and six half-hour specials. The
award-winning Davey and Goliath was broadcast for 20 years
on weekend mornings. It continues to air on select cable outlets.
