The King of Kings Movie Review and Giveaway

 



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









There is a brand-new film released recently on Angel.com. It’s called The King of Kings and it’s a cartoon based animated film touching on the teachings and life of Jesus. I personally watched it via my Fire Cube device and the streaming was incredible. This film was in 4K quality and wasn’t blurry and it was very clear the entire time. And for this being a Christian based production I was pleasing surprised that it was so high quality and looked amazing. The film wasn’t cheesy or anything in that regards. I really enjoyed the message behind the film and how it was a strong introduction to the life of Christ. 








The film begins with Charles Dickson is reciting his story of the Scrooge to an audience. When his son, Walter and his cat stop the production of the play while trying to perform a reenacted of King Arthur. Instead of punishing him, he takes a different route thanks to his wife and tells him the story of Jesus. He begins with the birth of Jesus, discussed his miracles, his betrayal and resurrection. The film is very PG rated and the only violence kids will see is mark-lines on Jesus from the after effects of Jesus being beaten. Kids can’t really see the punishment that Jesus took its sort of censored in a way. Later they can see the nails marks near his hands but even that is a clean version. I liked how they didn’t make it too violent for kids where everyone wouldn’t have to worry about what is being seen. They will get to watch the scenes unfold of Jesus entire life it covered all the big events and miracles. My favorite one was probably the one of the women and go and sin no more. This was done in a way kids could understand without making it too adult. 





 

The film voiced high paying actors and actresses throughout the film. These included Kenneth Branagh (Thor and 2015 Cinderella), Mark Hamill (Star Wars – Luke Skywalker), Pierce Brosnan (James Bond), Forest Whitaker (Star Wars Rogue), Ben Kingsley (Iron Man 3), Oscar Isaac (Star Wars, X-men Apocalypse, The Addam’s Family, and The Nativity Story), James Arnold Taylor (Best known in Star Wars Clone Wars voicing Obi-Wan Kenobi). There were tons of voicing that people will recognize from the Star Wars films. Two of my favorites were in this movie. I have always enjoyed Mark Hamill and Oscar Isaac in his roles. I think having the powerhouse lineup will help lure kids into the story of Jesus. They are also estimated that this film has outdone other cartoon films. It has surpassed the popular 1998’s Prince of Egypt. It raised over $19 million just in the opening weekend. This film will go down as another popular film that will be rewatched again and again. 







Another discussion we need to have is the story behind Angel Guild. They seek only positive messages that are Christian based and that can amplify the light. Becoming a member allows you two free theater tickets to upcoming shows, discount on merchandise, early access to steaming new movies, voting for your favorite projects, and much more. All the films are made in Angel Studios. Some of the movies enclosed, Young David, I Can Only Imagine, Homestead, The Last Rodeo, The Shift, Like Dandelion Dust, Green and Gold, Vindication, and with much more being released. The two free tickets incentive I believe will cause people to want to go to the movies even more and support the films. I checked my area and there is showing at my local theater so you can probably find it as yours. There is also a special feature allowing members to share a special link to the movie to others. This is mind blowing that in a world of streaming this Christian based encourages watchers to share the message for free with others and it's unlimited. When all of other streaming apps discourage you from sharing without paying them, this one allows you to share. This can allow unbelievers to heard the message of the Gospel thru their inspiring films.
