The King of Kings

The animated film The King of Kings is now streaming on Angel.com and the Angel App and available to all Angel Guild members.

"The King of Kings" brings the life of Jesus Christ to the screen with breathtaking animation, a stirring musical score, and a powerful retelling of the Gospel story that has resonated deeply with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. The film was produced by South Korean animation house MOFAC and distributed to global audiences through theaters and Angel’s innovative platform.

"The King of Kings" features a father telling his son the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice. The King of Kings invites us to rediscover the enduring power of hope, love, and redemption through the eyes of a child. Directed by Seong-Ho Jang and featuring an all-star voice cast, "The King of Kings" has captivated audiences worldwide.

Watch The King of Kings now on Angel.com or download the Angel App on iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and other major platforms. For more information, please see angel.com/collide.


My Review: Inspired by a book written by Charles Dickens for his children, "The Life of our Lord," "The King of Kings" starts off with a frustrated Dickens and his King Arthur-obsessed son, Walter. Walter's imagination soars as he, his cat Willa, and Dickens are transported back to the birth of Jesus and continue through the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. The animation, by South Korean company MOFAC, is colorful and pleasing to the eye. It is sure to keep the attention of children and adults. Well-known voice actors, including Kenneth Branagh as Charles Dickens, Uma Thurman as Catherine Dickens, Pierce Brosnan as Pontius Pilate, Mark Hamill as King Herod, Roman Griffin Davis as Walter Dickens, Forest Whitaker as PeterBen Kingsley as High Priest Caiaphas, and Oscar Isaac as Jesus Christ, bring the level of storytelling up another notch.


The movie may not hold the attention of younger children but is suitable for kids 8 years old and up. The story of Jesus can be hard to watch and hard to understand, but "The King of Kings" brings it down to a level suitable for younger viewers without downplaying the events. This is excellent for parents to share with their kids or for a children's church or Sunday school class. It will definitely open the door to conversations about Jesus. Director Seong-Ho Jang is to be commended for creating such an impressive film.

MY REVIEW: I am enjoying my Living Scriptures+ subscription. The first thing I noticed is a few films I have enjoyed in the past but haven't been able to find again, plus quite a few that I have wanted to see. 

There are also a variety of options for age groups, homeschoolers, series or movies, and the usual categories of comedy, drama, faith, etc. Personal profiles for family members are also available.

I did not see any films made in the past year, but I didn't expect to since the larger streaming services normally get them first. However, I am pleased with what is available. Personally, I would love to see more older films since I enjoy many movies made long before I was born. Since I also have great-grandkids visiting, though, I was happy to see great options for them to watch. Living Scriptures+ definitely provides entertainment for the entire family!
