Anyone remember that 2D-animated Christian movie called Light of the World that was posted about earlier in this thread?

Well, it finally came out over the weekend, and I went to see it. Even as someone who doesn't consider himself majorly religious, I had a really good time. The film very much feels like someone that woul'’ve been made during the Disney Renaissance, which isn't surprising since it was a major passion project done by animators who worked at Disney during that timeframe. Speaking of which, it's not some cutesy Disneyified version of the story of Jesus. While it does have plenty of comedic moments, it doesn't shy away from the dramatic parts of the story at all. If you plan on taking kids to see it, keep in mind it does get pretty dark towards the end.
Honestly, the fact that a movie like this can get a wide theatrical release makes me hopeful we'll get more animation that actually tries to promote good values in children as opposed to brainwashing them with political propaganda.
If anyone has five minutes to spare, I highly recommend checking out this behind-the-scenes video that was posted on the official Light of the World YouTube channel. It really gives you insight into how passionate the makers of the film were.
