Though it is a long time since we were children, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the King of Kings with its mesmerizing animation.

Having visited the Holy Land in 2017, I found depictions of Bethany, Gethsemane. the old city of Jerusalem, the Sea of Galilee, and the site of the Sermon on the Mount to be incredible works of art. in and of themselves. With both scenery and characters, I often found myself wondering if it was really animation.

While there is plenty of artistic license in this animated film, it was not over the top.

A catechetical treat for the entire family!
