Superbook airs on GMA

MANILA, Philippines - The phenomenal ’80s animation we love is back. Get ready as Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) brings you an all-new Superbook. Viewers will experience a one-of-a-kind journey with triple the excitement. Today, the new Superbook’s pilot episode In the Beginning will air at 7:30 a.m. on GMA 7. In addition, Superbook Classic episodes will air Sundays, starting tomorrow, June 2 at 7:30 a.m. also on GMA.

What started as an animated Bible series for children in Japan is now a world-class animation production. Since its first airing in Japan, the Superbook series has now been broadcast in over 106 countries, translated into 43 languages and has been viewed by over half a billion people.

And to keep up with today’s new storytelling technology, the original series has been improved to match the media-savvy generation. To address this challenge, CBN and top Hollywood producers, animators and directors put their minds together and as a result: A relived, reinvented and reimagined Superbook.

“Our goal is not only to produce a child-friendly program, but more importantly, a child-focused show for this generation to digest. Superbook aims to capture the hearts of the children of today. In addition, even the parents will enjoy and learn from it. It’s a perfect bonding activity for families,” says Icko Gonzalez, Superbook project head in the Philippines. “The new Superbook is for the now generation.”
