      Wonderful!

      I can't say enough about how wonderful this movie was. It is a joy looking through the eyes of Dickens youngest & exuberant son Walter. The story is told in such a way that isn't too heavy for children yet conveys the story without watering it down The animation was superb, the humor delightful the flow rhythmic.

      I wasn't prepared for the opening scene, but once I understood, about 5 sec in, it became one of my favorite humorous scene. It makes for a impactful & entertaining family outing. We had 4 children in tow ages almost 3 to 11. They all enjoyed it & the almost 3 yr old did not get fidgety until the last 15 min.

      A Resurrection Day Gift

      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.

      Excellent adaptation of Christ

      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.

      Don't miss this opportunity!

      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.

      Seriously Underrated, Hooked

      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.

      • Trivia
        Charles 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.
      • Goofs
        The 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.
