O Rei dos Reis

We took our grandkids yesterday - 6 and 9 - and we all loved this story in a story, a traditional retelling of the life of Jesus as told by Charles Dickens to his son. Our six-year-old was so moved by the resurrection that she bowed on her face in worship. The storytellers did a good job of weaving together representative moments from the gospels to keep the story moving and yet contained within the hour and forty minutes allotted. It captured well the very essence of who Jesus is as the Son of God and God in the flesh and what He came to earth to do to redeem us from our sins. Great conversations after. An opportunity not to be missed by Christian families.

I thought for all the big names associated with this movie, I would be more impressed. The whole Charles Dickens part was a distraction. It could've been any parents telling the story. The boy was obnoxiously bratty, yet the mom wouldn't let the dad discipline him. (Same with the cat.) The biggest distraction was that I couldn't quit thinking the entire time, "If he believes this, why in the world does he have three kids who he's never told about Jesus? Why has his wife never told them? Why aren't they at least going to church to hear it?" The bizarre animation of the characters' faces was also distracting. There were very touching parts, but overall, I have no interest in seeing it again. The Miracle Maker (1999), the Chosen, Prince of Egypt, even Joseph, King of Dreams are all a lot more compelling.

What a wonderful movie!! We took our 7yo great-grandson to see it. It was a perfect depiction of the life, death & Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ for young children.

Our Great-grandson can't wait for it to be available on the app!

I encourage all to go see it!!

We loved it so much we joined the Angel Guild. Excellent content for kids & families.

There are wonderful series' of adventure, faith & encouragement.

We especially love Turtle Twins!! Grandma has a souped up, Time traveling scooter. She & the twins travel back & meet George Washington, Ben Franklin & even Carl Marx, etc. All to teach about history & even how our government works.

There is so much trash being called entertainment. It's refreshing to have positive, faithful options.

A good touch adapting Charles Dickens' own story about Christ as told to his children and including his family as this is how this depiction of the Savior is presented.

I have seen quite a few depictions of Christ and the vast majority are live action. This animated feature aimed mostly for the younger audience is not too serious, nor is it too watered down for the said young audience.

Christ's birth to his preaching at the synagogues at the age of twelve, to his ministry, to his passion and resurrection are captured real well for all ages to enjoy.

If you are a spiritual or religious person, you will feel the spirituality in this work.

While it doesn't include everything in the New Testament (then again, there hasn't been anything on film that has), this is an ideal film to introduce one to the Scriptures be it a young child or older.

The voice acting was great.

The way HIS life was portrayed brought me to tears multiple times.

Visuals were very good, and they way the integrated the child he is telling the story to in to the story kept it interesting.

If you want a family friendly movie to take your kids to this is it.

We enjoyed the music as well.

I don't understand why this review has to be so long as I am a short and to the point type of person, and don't appreciate long winded answers to things that can be shared in a short period of time, thank you for listening, this should take my review of this great movie over the limit.
