Critics Consensus

Putting the Christ story in an approachable frame for children, The King of Kings isn't the most sophisticated example of family animation but makes for a solidly watchable Sunday school.

A serviceable if uninspired take on a story told countless times in just as varied formats.

TheWrap

It’s impossible to watch a film in which Jesus Christ says it’s wrong to profit from religion and then watch the filmmakers panhandle for extra money at the end. At least, not without imagining the screen getting struck by lightning.

The King of Kings may tell the greatest story ever told, but here, it’s told in the most forgettable way possible.

Rated: 2/5

FilmWeek (LAist)

A retelling of the story of Jesus with a weird mixture of vaguely biblical and Valley Speak.

The Movie Cricket

[The characters] Walter and his cute computer-animated cat are meant to be the young audience’s conduit into the biblical tale, but too often they come off as an annoying distraction.

Rated: 2.5/4
