Le Voyage du pèlerin

From a material standpoint this movie doesn't have the 'cutting edge' tech for animation along w some mildly hokey moments (like the judge speaking at the vanity fair). And it's not completely true to the book in many ways (but how could it possibly be given the several hundred page original by Bunyan). This is the best adaptation I've seen and I've seen nearly all of them. Would I like to see a big budget, live-action version? Absolutely! But both I, my friends and my kiddos Loved watching this together. I truly hope they follow through on the time be continued' at the end which I can only assume that means they are considering making the 2nd part of Bunyan's work on Christiana and her kid's journey to the Celestial City. So even though I never saw this in the movie theatre (I never even knew it was there until too late unfortunately, or I would have) and I only rented this from the library; I will do my minute part in supporting it by buying it for my family (and maybe some friends for Christmas!) as well as talking it up online.

Yep - I'm a Christian and have long enjoyed spiritual things and the original book for some time. So yes, I am this movie's target audience.

With that in mind, I thought it was on the whole, faithfully done. We've been reading Dangerous Journey, which is the children's book abridged version with my young children (7, 8, and 5) and they enjoyed seeing the book in an animated format.

The animation wasn't Pixar level, but I didn't expect it to be. It is a crowd funded labor of love, it's not created by a big budget graphics studio. But it wasn't so bad that I found myself distracted. It was fine.

On the whole we found ourselves encouraged and inspired and it opened up some good dialogue with my children. I'm glad I saw it and we'd watch it again.

The best adaptation I have seen of this book so far. Very encouraging. I enjoyed it. The animation and the music was well done.

I was looking forward to this movie as a christian and also a keen John Bunyan reader how ever I had to stop watching this as it is not faithful to the book which really does not need additions like a modern story plot, like this movie adds. This is the type of movie that needs a trilogy and alot more care and effort in giving the viewer its proper Godly message. It was not so much the animation and its quality as that was pretty impressive for the budget and 3d animation is technically the hardest of visual crafts to master. What really was a negative for me was the abreviation of the story. Pilgrims progress is epic and really cant be abreviated into one film like all modern films have done. 5 out of ten and mainly those stars are for the effort in the animation.

Unlike most movies, this is all about the story and not the production. The story is a great classic about the Christian spiritual path, and this version is done in a way that the message is clear to all ages. I really enjoyed it.
