Featured reviews
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!
We watched *King of Kings* on opening weekend, and I have to say, I'm completely blown away! From start to finish, this film was an extraordinary experience. The storytelling was compelling, drawing me into every moment and weaving together a narrative that was both powerful and deeply moving. The visuals were nothing short of breathtaking-each scene felt like a masterpiece in itself, showcasing impeccable direction and cinematography. The performances were truly mesmerizing; every voice actor brought their character to life with such authenticity and passion. It's rare to come across a film that stays with you long after the credits roll, but *King of Kings* is undoubtedly one of those timeless masterpieces. It left me reflecting on its themes and marveling at its artistry. If you haven't had the chance to see it yet, do yourself a favor-it's worth every moment and more!
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.

My husband ad I took our grandkids, ages 11 to 17, and we all enjoyed it! Loved how the Bible came to life on the screen! The most important Biblical stories told with truth and without fabrication. Messages were clear and well taken even for my youngest grandson.
Engaging and lovable characters from the start to the finish. I laughed and cried and absolutely fell in love with the cat!
Loved the ending when the father removed the sign he had taped on his office door. Such a reminder to all of us of what is truly important and how much our children learn by our example.
Highly recommend it for all ages!

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.
