ℹ️A good family movie, whether you are Christian or not and the values depicted resonate across religious boundaries. ⚠️Adultery is mentioned once in the movie, which might lead some young children to ask what it means. There are also non-graphic scenes where Jesus is whipped, has the crown of thorns placed on his head, and is crucified.

Plot:
The King of Kings is a faith-based animated film that tells the story of Jesus Christ through a unique framing device involving Charles Dickens and his young son, Walter. Set in mid-19th century London, the story begins with Dickens, a renowned but busy author, struggling to connect with his imaginative and rambunctious son, Walter, who is obsessed with tales of King Arthur and knights. After Walter disrupts one of Dickens’ public readings of A Christmas Carol with his playful antics, causing embarrassment, Dickens’ wife, Catherine, suggests he share a special story with Walter to mend their strained relationship. Dickens decides to narrate the life of Jesus Christ, inspired by his own unpublished manuscript The Life of Our Lord, which he wrote for his children. As he tells the story by the fireside, Walter’s vivid imagination brings the tale to life, transporting him into the biblical world. The narrative covers key events of Jesus’ life: his humble birth in a stable, visited by shepherds and the three wise men; the threat of King Herod’s tyranny, prompting Mary and Joseph’s escape to protect the newborn; Jesus’ ministry, where he gathers his disciples, performs miracles like feeding the masses and walking on water, and teaches lessons of love and forgiveness; and the trials of his betrayal, crucifixion, and resurrection. Through the storytelling, Walter experiences these events as if he’s walking alongside Jesus, feeling the joy of miracles, the pain of persecution, and the hope of resurrection. The process deepens the bond between father and son, as Dickens guides Walter through the emotional highs and lows, helping him understand the themes of sacrifice, redemption, and faith. The film weaves together the historical and spiritual elements of Jesus’ life with the personal journey of a father and son finding connection through the power of storytelling, emphasizing hope, love, and forgiveness seen through a child’s perspective.
