I am going to be very honest, (and I am legitimately serious with this statement) I actually don’t hate “Gaithers Pond”. In fact I think it’s one of the better Christian cartoons (besides Veggietales of course) Yes the CGI is HORRIFIC, most of the songs are not needed (in the first cartoon, I have not watched any of the other episodes), and the writing could’ve been less on the nose. But I actually don’t mind the characters that much (I actually like how the main protagonist Gaither is kind of a d%€k, instead of being pitch perfect), at its core is a good message, and it didn’t feel overly preachy.

Wasted potential perhaps

Maybe I just have low standards, but this doesn't seem that bad of a movie. I mean, it's early CGI, so things definitely look rough. But at the same time, some of the jokes were funny, some of the songs were (regrettably) catchy, and it honestly wasn't even that preachy. Like, the Christian messaging wasn't even that in-your-face. Granted, they become believers the second they learn about Jesus, but then outside of it taking place on Christmas, they don't even mention Christianity. They go back to save the day because "they understand the true meaning of Christmas" and because the villain was gonna kidnap and enslave orphans. That said, the biggest problem by far is how the villain is coded to be Jewish, with his villain song even following the tune of a famous Jewish folk song. If it weren't for this massive problem, I could see myself liking it as a kid in a similar manner to Veggietales. But then, I'd definitely choose Veggietales over this if given the choice at that age.
