    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.

    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.

    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.

    Just okay

    I thought for all the big names associated with this movie, I would be more impressed. The whole Charles Dickens part was a distraction. It could've been any parents telling the story. The boy was obnoxiously bratty, yet the mom wouldn't let the dad discipline him. (Same with the cat.) The biggest distraction was that I couldn't quit thinking the entire time, "If he believes this, why in the world does he have three kids who he's never told about Jesus? Why has his wife never told them? Why aren't they at least going to church to hear it?" The bizarre animation of the characters' faces was also distracting. There were very touching parts, but overall, I have no interest in seeing it again. The Miracle Maker (1999), the Chosen, Prince of Egypt, even Joseph, King of Dreams are all a lot more compelling.

    • 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.
