The King of Kings

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.

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.

I took my 7 year old to see this and while I was a little nervous how she would respond, she has been asking a lot of questions and hoped this would be helpful for her to learn about Jesus in a way that she will understand. The story is presented in a way that's entertaining for children and tells his most significant stories from birth to crucifixion. I was particularly worried how they would portray his death but they got the point across without showing graphic images. My 7 year old said it was "Exceptional and epic." For me, it was a good renewal of faith. Jesus was shown as a comforting friend, the way I was taught as a child. Strongly recommended for families to watch with their young children.

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.

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.
