When I heard about an animated film adaptation centering on my Savior, I was very skeptical due to Hollywood's animosity towards Christians. My skepticism slowly shrank when I learned that this was from the studio responsible for The Chosen. The film centers on Charles Dickens recalling the story of Jesus to his terror of a son.
This movie wasn't great, but it was good. More importantly, it was respectful. Its strongest aspect was that is was cute when it wanted to be, but serious when it needed to be. It had a lot of imagination when telling the story of Jesus. But when it got to the important stuff (the crucifixion, the resurrection, etc), it dialed down the cute stuff and got real with the audience and the kids without getting too dark. The only dislike I have with this movie is the animation style as well as the design of several characters.
But overall, decent movie and I really appreciate it. Thanks for reading
