Movies

2011 cartoons had it´s high like Cars 2, Tintin and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic but also many lows like The Lion of Judah. CGI animated bible barnyard about a sheep that must be saved from it´s offering that is lying forgotten and not talked about with Youtube reviewers except for Saberspark. The animation is so 2006 and forgettable pop rock songs.

For a lower budget animation this film really hits the mark. This is a great family picture. The characters are well thought out and the animation is pretty good. Now that it is in 3D its even better. I liked how they used the bible as a back drop and didn't make it preachy. The music was amazing. A lot of original tracks, well composed and written. I liked how they used humor to tie together several touchy subjects. The story really takes off as the crew heads out after their new friend. They meet all kinds of new and interesting characters along the way. The horse was my favorite character. He reminds me of the giraffe from Madagascar.

This animated story of the birth, and death of our Lord and Savior Jesus was a wonderful surprise. With all of the crappy movies today, it was refreshing to watch a unique take on the life of Jesus. It was entertaining and had surprisingly good moments throughout the movie. I laughed, I cried, I got annoyed at the rooster character. I experienced a range of emotions watching this movie. The truth of the Gospel shined through even though this was animated. The fact that it was animated did not matter. The powerful and life changing message came through loud and clear. Jesus Christ SAVES! It was refreshing to actually like a movie and not turn it off because of the utter stupidity.
