About The Show

From the creator

Dear Parents,

If you’re like me, you care what your little ones watch. And it’s not just about shutting out the garish images, tin-eared music, or silly storylines - it’s also about guarding them from the “woke” messages that tell our children lies about who they are and who God made them to be.

That’s why I created The Wonderful World of Benjamin Cello. I wanted to bring back the timeless artistry I enjoyed as a child: Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, Mary Poppins, and Jim Henson's Muppets.

I also wanted to make a show that was unapologetically Christian - not “sort of” Christian, but deeply Christian.

Our children deserve the best. They also deserve the truth - the truth about Jesus, the truth about God, and the truth about who they are created to be. And the best way to instill that truth is through beautiful images, great music, and fresh storytelling that inspires wonder.

Join the thousands of families that have already discovered The Wonderful World of Benjamin Cello. It will bring the truth, beauty, and goodness of God into your home and into your child's heart.

Why We Exist

At KIN we believe in the power of truth, told with art and beauty, to transform the thoughts and feelings of people. We oppose a modern culture that fragments families and assaults the minds and emotions of children. We want to help every family - father, mother, son, and daughter - to understand their place in the story of the world. By rooting artistic beauty in the truths of Christianity, we hope to illuminate the minds of children everywhere with a sense of wonder and confidence in a Creator who loves them.

KIN was founded by a family for families. With two decades of award-winning experience in music as the Annie Moses Band, the Wolaver family has expanded their mission into the realm of film production and narrative storytelling. Conceptualized by published author and musical songsmith, Robin Wolaver, and produced by Alex Wolaver, The Wonderful World of Benjamin Cello celebrates truth, beauty, and goodness.

Utilizing puppetry, live song and dance, acoustic instrumentation, and extensive original music, The Wonderful World of Benjamin Cello immerses children in a world that is hopeful, tactile, and beautiful.
