The Miracle Maker

The Miracle Maker is an animated life of Christ released in 2000. Ralph Fiennes provides Jesus' voice. Julie Christie, Ian Holm, William Hurt and Richard Grant also provide voices. This is The Daughter's favorite Jesus movie.

Hulu has it with commercials:


This film is #3 on the ArtsAndFaith.com list of top 100 most spiritually significant films. Variety likes it. BFI does not. DecentFilms.com calls it "groundbreaking" and describes it as
a simple, modest retelling of the gospel story of the ministry and passion of Christ that does little more than present the bare events of the gospel narratives, without adornment or invention, without idiosyncratic "explanations" or editorial spin, without elaborations for the sake of amusement or excitement.
