Three things to know about the
Animated Film ‘Jesus’
God’s Word in Oral and Visual Form. Just like the original JESUS film (1979), the new animated film of Jesus will be faithful to Scripture. In fact, its dialogue makes seamless use of the existing 2,000+ language recordings of JESUS (1979). It is the power of God’s Word that changes lives.
Historically Accurate. The film will be more true to the place and time of Jesus’ earthly life than anything possible with a live-action film. The production team is working closely with archeologists and theologians to depict first-century Israel using the latest immersive 3D-modeling technology.
Highest-Quality Animation. God has brought together a team of industry-leading animators and award-winning storytellers with credits like Mulan, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. Many are believers implementing cutting-edge technology and innovative processes that will revolutionize animation for years to come. They are thrilled to tell the greatest story ever told through animation.
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20, ESV
