Line #13 WesternAnimation/TheKingdomChums


1	''The Kingdom Chums'' was a pair of television specials that were originally broadcast on ABC in the 1980s.
2
3	The first one, "Little David's Adventure", aired in 1986 and was produced by Creator/DiCEntertainment, and it's a retelling of David and Goliath as seen through the eyes of three children who travel back in time to witness it (compare to ''Anime/{{Superbook}}'' or ''Anime/FlyingHouse''). The twist is that the Biblical figures are represented by anthropomorphic animals.
4
5	The second special, produced by Rick Reinert Productions and animated by Jamie Diaz Productions, was "The Original Top Ten", a musical look at the Ten Commandments.

8	!!This series provides examples of:
9
10	* AscendedExtra: Osborn in the first special became part of the main cast in the second special.
11	* ArtShiftedSequel: In the first special, the animation is {{animesque}} (and indeed it was made with Japanese staff). This was changed to a more cartoony look for "Original Top Ten".
12	* TheCommandments: "The Original Top Ten" revolves around around the songs represents as the Ten Commandments.
13	* GrassIsGreener: The first song of the Top Ten deals about this topic, with one segment showing a guy being jealous at another person's lawn and a bear wanting to get honey from a tree that the other one is having.
14	* InevitableWaterfall: The end of the third Top Ten has Osborn falling towards the waterfall, but thankfully it's just a little one and didn't suffer any casualties.
15	* InnocentSwearing: Towards the halfway point of "The Original Top Ten", Osborn swore in God's name after Annie hugged him after receiving the forth Top Ten, which results him getting swooped in a swan boat ride about what he just did. The end of the song "Honor His Name" has him learning not to swear in God's name.
16	* MediumBlending: The opening and ending scenes of the "Original Top Ten" are real life static backgrounds while the characters and objects that interact are animated.
17	* LooseCanon: Despite being from the same series, neither special really has any connections to the other aside from the animal characters and possibly Osborn. Even Moses is different in each series.
18	* MisplacedWildlife: The first story is a retelling of the battle of David and Goliath with stuffed animals saying they recall memories of their ancestors. Two of those animals are a lion and a tiger, both of which ''could'' have been seen in Canaan (although it was not particularly likely). The hero of our story, however, is a ''raccoon''!
19	* SpellingSong: The chorus of the ninth Commandment song in ''The Original Top Ten'' is "L-I-E-S, L-I-E-S spell 'lies', 'lies'".
20	* SwanBoats: The third Top Ten song has Osborn in a swan boat.
21	* ThisMeansWar: In ''The Original Top Ten'', Osborn says this word-for-word to Petey after he gets mad at him for winning the first Top Ten disk.
22	* TwoGuysAndAGirl:
23	** "Little David's Adventure" has Peter, Sauli, and Mary Ann.
24	** "Original Top Ten" has Petey, Osborn, and Annie.
