3 Reasons ‘The King of Kings’ Is the Animated Jesus Story Every Family Needs

Walter is a young, energetic boy full of imagination, curiosity, and a love for all things King Arthur.Walter slays dragons. He beats back invaders. And he does it all with his toy sword, Excalibur. Such enthusiasm is welcome at home. But at his father’s place of work, the local theater? Not so much.One day, Walter’s backstage role-playing gets so out of hand that he interrupts his dad’s on-stage performance. The audience chuckles. His father, though, is not so amused. He scolds Walter, sends him home, and tells him sternly, “You are most certainly not King Arthur.”That night, though, Walter’s father —  realizing he may have crushed his son’s spirit — begins searching for a way to make things right.He offers a bedtime story to Walter about another king — a real-life leader who was the inspiration for the story of the legendary King Arthur. And while this story doesn’t include any dragons — the father acknowledges — it does include “angels and wicked kings and jealous rivals and miracles.””Some say it’s the greatest story ever told!” the father says enthusiastically. The wide-eyed boy, captivated by the mystery and majesty of this mysterious king, agrees to listen.So Walter’s father begins unwinding the story, with a tale that begins 2,000 years ago in a small village called Bethlehem and ends with an empty tomb in Jerusalem.It’s all part of the inspiring new Angel Studios animated movie The King of Kings (PG) that tells the story of Jesus through the narration of Walter’s father, author Charles Dickens.It’s one of the best family movies of the year, and here are three reasons families of faith will embrace it! Photo Credit: ©Angel Studios
