No. just no. This should not exist.
I for one am one of those kids who grew up in the christian fundamentalist household, and let me tell you, the stuff we got to watch. But by far, the video that has left me the "Psaltiest" with pun totally intended, was Psalty's Salvation Celebration.
The story begins with Psalty, Shelly, and shelley's newly converted friends marching through a jungle, getting captured by cannibals (Very kid friendly at the start) But we wind up going back 2 weeks, where Psalty, and his star performer Shelley and a group of kids he knows are about to take a trip through the U.S. by train to perform shows at various cities. tagging along are Charity Churchmouse, and the evil Risky Rat.
First Problem - It claims to be a movie. A movie is at least 1 hour, 30 minutes long. Maybe they called it a movie because they knew it would be played during sunday school and most sunday school classes don't go longer than an hour, so the prospect of watching a movie that actually ends before the end of sunday school sounds awesome, but it's really not.
Second Problem - Risky Rat. He's the most obvious bad guy in the world yet most of the characters are so dumb they never catch onto him. Also, he's the only character who spends most of his time interacting with the audience, mostly to draw heel heat in case you haven't figured out he's the bad guy.
Third problem - The unrealistic portrayal of faith. Psalty is Christian. Like very Christian. He's so Christian he's Ned Flanders in a blue book suit. How many kids can actually relate to the guy? not many. On top of that, Psalty's attitude is so reflective of that other character, who sings songs, wears a polyester smile...oh yeah, Barney. Psalty is basically a Christian Barney.
There's lots more, but i can't talk about all of it. To sum this one up, this was a bad memory for a lot of us christian kids who had to deal with fundamentalist upbringings. We look back on this and either laugh about how cheesy it was, or how much we felt like we were being brainwashed. Watch it if you like, but expect a lot of cringing.
