Somehow, Jesus returned.
That’s both a glib summary of what happens in the new Easter-season animated movie The King of Kings and a description of this cut-rate attempt by Angel Studios to revive the Biblical epic.
Angel became an unexpected industry player on the strength of its smash hit Sound of Freedom a few years back, and has been regularly releasing faith-based entertainment ever since. Freedom’s religious tell was employing true believer Jim Caviezel – a once and possibly future king-of-kings himself – in place of an actual marquee name, and most of Angel’s subsequent films have been similarly lacking in the surprising star power that used to turn up in Christian movies from bigger studios like Sony.
