The King of Kings (2025)

“The King of Kings” is a 2025 animated family film that brings the story of Jesus Christ to life through the eyes of a young boy, guided by his father’s heartfelt storytelling. Directed by Seong-ho Jang and written by Seong-ho Jang, Rob Edwards, and Jamie Thomason, the film combines traditional biblical narratives with a fresh, emotionally driven presentation suited for audiences of all ages.

The story follows a young boy who, through his father’s vivid tales, embarks on a spiritual journey across ancient Judea. As the boy witnesses pivotal moments in Jesus’ life — from his humble birth in Bethlehem to his teachings, miracles, and eventual sacrifice — he learns about compassion, hope, and the enduring power of faith. The narrative highlights the profound impact Jesus’ life has on those around him and the importance of holding onto belief in the face of adversity.

An impressive voice cast adds depth to the film’s animated characters. Oscar Isaac voices Jesus Christ, bringing warmth and sincerity to the central figure. Pierce Brosnan lends his voice to Pontius Pilate, while Forest Whitaker voices Peter. Mark Hamill’s portrayal of King Herod adds dramatic tension, and additional performances by Uma Thurman, Kenneth Branagh, and Ben Kingsley round out the ensemble with grace and gravitas.

“The King of Kings” combines beautiful animation with a touching message of faith and redemption. It serves as both a tribute to one of history’s most influential figures and a heartfelt story for families to experience together.
