DALLAS, May 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- Daystar Television Network is providing entertainment for the whole family with the May 1 national DVD release of "The Cheesy Adventures of Captain Mac.A.Roni," an original animated film that cleverly combines comedy and adventure to model values of love, forgiveness and faith.

"We've developed friendly, spirited characters and a compelling story to showcase important morals to family audiences," said Marcus Lamb, Daystar Television Network president and CEO.

Set in the fantasy realm of Liberty Island, "The Cheesy Adventures of Captain Mac.A.Roni" follows a courageous trio of kids - Sandy, Mikey and Eddie - who have learned their kingdom's greatest treasure has been stolen by the sinister Pirate Grime. The valiant and witty Captain Mac.A.Roni, and his cream pie-throwing sidekick chicken named Cheese, show up and set sail for the seas to track down Grime. During the quest, Mac.A.Roni and Cheese teach viewers about the importance of love and forgiveness when faced with adversity, revealing the true meaning of the treasure.

Produced by an Emmy Award-winning team in conjunction with Animation Collective's Larry Schwarz, "The Cheesy Adventures of Captain Mac.A.Roni" provides edgy pacing typically seen on Nickelodeon or the Cartoon Network, along with Daystar's well-known, values-oriented foundation.

Additionally, the DVD received the "family approved" seal from The Dove Foundation who said, "this animated adventure will have everyone rolling on the floor with laughter as they learn important values and lessons."

"Our goal with this film was to provide clean, family fun using memorable characters that will keep both children and parents entertained," said Lane Trammell, an executive producer.

"The DVD is a great engaging and relevant teaching tool to demonstrate real-life lessons to children," said Justin Machacek, an executive producer. "This is more than a cartoon - it is a Golden Rule parable about treating all people kindly."

Released by Anchor Distributors, "The Cheesy Adventures of Captain Mac.A.Roni" has a suggested retail price of $12.98 and can be purchased at Family Christian, Munce and Mardel stores. Retailers may order the DVD for purchase by calling 1-800-444-4484.
