Featured reviews
I was surprisingly the only one in the cinema for this film so I didn't have that high expectations, I was very wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, the music and storytelling were really beautiful at such an important time of year for us Christians. I think this is suitable for ANY age and hooked me all the way through and I'm 22. I think the third person perspective of the Easter Story told by Charles Dickens in the film was really interesting. Such a heart-warming film and loved every single important story told in it. I think this deservers a higher rating. I will certainly watch again and recommend it to my family/friends.
I thought the outro song was a masterpiece too, really touched me this film and NO ONE i know is talking about it! GO AND WATCH.

First off, the cast is phenomenal, what a group! The animation style isn't my favorite, bobblehead Jesus was an interesting choice but some scenes are truly spectacular. My kids weren't totally captured by the film, though they're still young, music helps them a lot and I expected a few hymns or songs incorporated somehow. My kids loved watching Walter and Willa's adventure through this great story of Jesus Christ. It started a little slow with Charles' stage show and the various interruptions by Walter. I felt that it was a little longer than a children's film should be. Still, it's message that motivated us to go, perfect for the Easter season and we look forward to more stories like this for children!
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.

I'm a huge fan of Angel Studios. I watch every movie they come out with. I'm a member of the guild.
When I first saw this movie preview I was excited and then skeptical. The movie looked great in the preview but I wasn't to sure about it being made by Seong-ho Jang. He is amazing with visual effects, but a South Korean telling the story of Jesus with a release date near Easter, made me a little skeptical. Well, he knocked it out of the park.
The story telling using the Princess Bride type narration was brilliant. It keeps the audience engaged and was very easy to understand for kids. It was all around great for family friendly.

- TriviaCharles Dickens really did write a children's book about the life of Jesus. He wrote it for his own children and read it to them every Christmas. It wasn't published until 64 years after his death.
- GoofsThe picture Charles shows his son of Adam and Eve being driven out of the garden, is by Gustave Dore'. Dore' was born in 1832. Therefore, he would have been 8 years old when the action takes place. Therefore, the picture could not have been in the Bible.
