Charles Dickens tells his young son Walter the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice.

🔍 Search on JustWatch →Animated cinema with a serious conversation — about loss, choice, growing up. Animation here isn't simplification, it's a way to speak of difficult things more gently.
Not the studio's best work, but still above genre average. Characters are memorable, the world is developed. Several genuinely strong scenes.
Works for both children and adults — but adults will take more from it. Family viewing is the ideal format.
