    When I heard the good reviews and comments about the Miracle Maker over Catholic Radio, I immediately bought a DVD at eBay. Wow, it is indeed a wholesome film. What made this movie stood-out from the other films about the life of Jesus Christ is that it is a stop-motion puppet fi...( read more)lm (with some cartoon animation).
    The makers really did a stunning job with the miniature sets as they are packed with so much realistic details and in making those puppets come alive together with the fantastic voices of Ralph Fiennes as Jesus, William Hurt as Jairus, Ian Holmes as Pontius Pilate just to name a few.
    Indeed this is a great film about Jesus Christ ministry from his baptism in the Jordan, his preaching of the gospel, the miracles he performed, his sufferings, death and resurrection up to his Ascension.
    It is a film worth viewing over and over again especially for children in the season of Lent.

    has a special feeling that comes through well in the claymation and the voices. It's a movie I like to Watch around Easter time.

    This is one of the best adaptations of the Jesus story on screen, together with Mel Gibson's and Franco Zeffirelli's. I was a bit disappointed the first time I saw it because the parables abandon the stop motion for modernistic looking animation sequences. But the more I see it, ...( read more)the more I like it. It is done with incredible skill, it is very sensitive, and it is theologically sound (with N.T. Wright on the board of advisors.) I wish it were four times as long, though.

    If you want to see more stop motion adaptations of Bible stories, I recommend the two episodes from the 1996 series "Testament: The Bible in Animation" entitled "Ruth" and "Joseph".

    English = Wonderful film the history of Jesus.
    Portuguese = Um lindo filme sobre a história de Jesus Cristo, fiel ao relato dos evangelhos. Eu e minha família assistimos no domingo de Páscoa (2008) e gostamos muito! Passou no Telecine Light da Sky Brasil.
