About the King of Kings film

The King of Kings is a full-length animated film that brings the life of Jesus to the screen. Inspired by Charles Dickens’ short book, ‘The Life of Our Lord’, the film features Dickens (voiced by Kenneth Branagh) sharing the story of Jesus with his young son, Walter. As the story unfolds, father and son imagine themselves present during Jesus’ life. The words spoken by Jesus throughout the film remain true to the Christian Bible, and through the lens of a child’s imagination, the miracles of Jesus are brought to life.

The King of Kings is available to stream now and to license for school screenings
