Reminiscing The Flying House on DVD
I used to watch the ‘Flying House‘ cartoon TV series when I was a toddler. I love the concept of the show, just like the all-time favorite ‘Superbook’, very Christian. Three kids get to travel back in time inside a Flying House! Awesome, isn’t it?
The story is about Corky, Angey, and Justin. They are playing hide and seek in the woods when a sudden storm appears and they come upon a house in the woods. They go inside and meet Professor Bumble and his Solar Ion Robot, SIR. They discover the house is a flying time machine and a sudden mishap send them into the past where they end up witnessing events from The Bible’s New Testament as they keep trying to get home.
The TV series was actually shown in various countries and the title translated into different languages:
Det flyvende hus (Danish)
Great Adventures of The Amazing House
La Casa Voladora (Spanish)
Las Grandes Aventuras de la Casa Tondera (Spanish)
Latajcy Dom (Polish)
Tondera House no Daiboken (Japanese)
The series has ended its TV run long time ago. I am not sure if other countries are showing it.
If you want to rewatch The Flying House, there is a DVD on Amazon that you can get here.
