Sword in the Stone-like in its quirky journey story, Our Hero climbs Credit Mountain after freeing a credit card from a stone. Our hero finds himself in the Valley of the Debtors and is told that "with great spending power comes great fiscal responsibility.'

The production is very entertaining with good music and interesting story line, considering it's a cartoon about credit. The tongue-in-cheek epic is funny and informative. Mixing A Christmas carol with other well-known tales the cartoon shows our hero sidelined by overspending and a large statement- payment is demanded by a frightening ogre that offers the hero "easy" payment terms.

Sidetracked from the heights of Credit Mountain by his debt into the Valley of Debtors, the Hero is told, "The only way to climb credit mountain from the valley of the debtors is to tame your debt demons with prudence and bold aggressive action. "

Advice from the wise mountain gurus provides our hero the skills to tame the Debt Monster with Budget Magic and a battle ensues!

In the end Our Hero not only beats the Credit Monster but he gets the girl!

This entertaining cartoon from MINT.com and a great teaching tool to initiate a discussion on the benefits of a budget and the potential problems of debt.
