The preview clip cuts off the beginning and end of the story, btw.
One of the challenges of SHOWING any recreation of the Fiery Furnace story is that, at its core, this is a story with a visual of people being burned alive --which should be a bit disturbing to all of us, let alone children. But the MOVIE* handles it with appropriate fear, miraculousness, and special effects.
I particularly liked how the movie depicts the people's reaction to the miracle as we hear Daniel embrace the three friends and say "God is with us!" --which is the point of miracles, ...to make a statement about God. Would that the rest of the movie's OT sections were handled with such care and production quality (I really don't like the Moses-Exodus section of this movie, for example).

Agreed Neil! This is a great clip, but I don't think I would feel comfortable showing it to 5 and 6 year olds. I definitely would recommend it for 3rd grade and up.
