A truly beautiful and profoundly moving cinematic experience, Light of the World is a film that transcends age, faith, and expectation. This remarkable 2D-animated story of Jesus’s life is told through the innocent and adoring eyes of his young friend, the Apostle John, offering a fresh and deeply personal perspective on one of the most important stories ever told. Opening in theaters on September 5, this film is a must-see for anyone seeking to understand the power of hope and faith.
From the very first moments of Jesus’s ministry to his final, triumphant resurrection, the movie powerfully illustrates how Jesus of Nazareth forever changed the world. The stunning hand-drawn animation, brought to life by a team that includes director Tom Bancroft, a long-time animator for Disney who worked on classics like The Lion King and Mulan, is both vibrant and tender. This beautiful artistry allows the story to breathe, lending an emotional depth that will resonate with you long after the credits roll. The film’s co-director, John Schafer, the producer of the beloved program Superbook, brings a masterful sense of pacing and storytelling that makes the complex story of Jesus’s ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection incredibly easy to understand.
While some might mistakenly believe this film is solely for young children, they couldn’t be more wrong. Light of the World is a film for young and old alike, with a message that is both timeless and deeply personal. It is a tenderhearted and emotional journey that will take you on a powerful roller coaster of feelings. You will feel a full range of emotions—from joy and wonder to profound sadness and awe. This is the first movie from the Salvation Poem Project, a ministry committed to sharing Jesus with the world, and what an incredible debut it is. The film is a powerful testament to the ministry’s mission, reminding us all that Jesus’s message of love, hope, and salvation still changes lives today. Don’t miss this one in theaters!
