    My 12 year old son and I loved this movie.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Impressed is an understatement

    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.

    If you purchase tickets through Angel they were doing a buy an adult ticket get a kid ticket for free.

    • 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.
