A serviceable if uninspired take on a story told countless times in just as varied formats.

TheWrap

It’s impossible to watch a film in which Jesus Christ says it’s wrong to profit from religion and then watch the filmmakers panhandle for extra money at the end. At least, not without imagining the screen getting struck by lightning.

Less of a fully satisfying animated feature that works on its own terms than a teaching tool that is clearly intended as such.

Rated: 2/4

Including Dickens & his son in the Gospel story can be distracting, and the character design leaves much to be desired, but the creators care about Jesus' story enough to give it the respect and reverence it deserves.

Rated: 3/5

The King of Kings is appropriate for younger kids and families, but pre-teens may be a stretch.

Rated: 5/10

As a fan of animation, it’s especially strange to hear Jim Cummings (who has voiced Winnie the Pooh, among many other characters) voice the soldier mocking Jesus on the cross, but that’s just the nature of the beast.
