This is a story about Jesus. It is put together so children can relate. I enjoyed the DVD.
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2002
I wish I could give this film 10 stars! Watching it for the first time on television last year, I was very moved, and I feel it is the best film about Jesus that has ever been done. The use of 3-D and 2-D animation was very creative. The 2-D animation was used for flashbacks or when Jesus was telling stories (such as the parables) which gave a realness to the 3-D characters. Also, the 3-D characters were less distracting than live actors which put more emphasis on the story and its message.
Based on the book of Luke, it is Biblically accurate. The only error I could see, and very minor, was when during the Parable of the Good Samaritan and one of the people who walked was said to be Sadducee. I suppose the writer thought that would more interesting. Of course one always wishes they could have every scene, but realistically the film producers could not include everything and were restricted to 90 min. I do wish they had been able to include Jesus calming the storm, but I am happy at what the writer COULD include like the Road to Emmaus (not included in any other film I've ever seen). I understand that the writer is a Christian, which shows, by the emphasis on the Resurrection and mention of the Holy Spirit(at Christ's baptism and Accension). The writer did use parts from the other Gospels as well to complement Luke.
The story is masterfully done and I like how the characters are developed, especially Mary Magdalene and Tamar (they gave her a name), the Leader of the Synogogue's 12 year old daughter who was raised from the dead. It was neat how they followed the story from a child's eye view and the character of Tamar was a thread that helped bring the story together. Another theme that was throughout the story which I really liked, was the idea of Jesus being the Doorway into Life.
The DVD has some neat features including a documentary about how the film was made. They show the little dolls, models, that were made by Russian animators. I think many of us would like to have the Jesus one! I also liked how the menu has Christian symbols on it, and the cursor that you use to select special features is in the shape of a cross. Very creative.
I think this film has had a very significant spiritual impact on many people and it was definitely inspired! The soundtrack is also fantastic (very moving) and really adds to the movie. Lastly, the best thing about this film is that it makes you want to go read the Bible!! :-)

How did I miss this delightful and well made movie in 2000? Twenty years later, I stumbled across this movie in my Am*zon Prime recommendation list. At first I thought it was a claymation movie geared towards very young children. After reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try. (*Note, this is NOT claymation and the puppetry is VERY realistic and fluid.) I watched the first 10 minutes and was so overcomed by the beauty and details of the visuals and the dialogue of the story that I paused and read the cast. I was shocked to see that this was an "all-star" cast and a combined work effort of Welsh, England and Moscow, Russia production. It intrigued me more, so I started over from the beginning with a renewed interest and was mesmerized the entire movie. It is very biblically accurate portrayal of our Lord Jesus' life. It lifted my spirit and humbled my heart by reminding me of the example life Jesus lead and wants us to follow and the violent sacrifice of his life for our sins through his crucifixion on the cross. John 3:16 - For God so loved the WORLD, that He gave his ONLY begotten SON that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have ever lasting life. For God did not send His son to condemn the world, but to save the world that through Him we might be saved." God bless you.

This endeavor took years to create. It is the only BIBLE depiction in claymation. We learned new aspects of JESUS and HIS life when HE was on earth. It is very astonishing in itself and its SCRIPTURES are accurate and true. We bought several to bless families we know. This particular seller never sent it.

"The Miracle Maker" is a moving and inspiring telling of the life of Jesus, with meticulous use of animation techniques. It is a mix of 2 styles that though very different, work beautifully together, blending well from scene to scene. Some of it is drawn, in bold colors and simple, strong lines, by animators in Wales, and this is contrasted by the glorious work done in Russia, using clay puppets. These puppets are astounding, with detailed features, graceful, delicate hands, and eyes that seem real. The animals and settings are also a marvel, and one can understand how this film took 5 years to make.
The story manages to include many of events in the life of Jesus, as well as some of the parables, told with reverence and always faithful to its biblical source. It gives a major role to Jairus' daughter, who Jesus brought back to life (Mark 5: 21, Luke 8:41), and is here named Tamar. Making Tamar a central focus of the story works well, and we see much of it through the yes of this child, whose dance of joy is a memorable moment in the film. Rebecca Callard plays Tamar, and is part of a stellar cast, which includes Ralph Fiennes (Jesus), Miranda Richardson (Mary Magdalene), Julie Christie (Tamar's mother), Richard Grant (John the Baptist), Ian Holm (Pontius Pilate), and William Hurt (Jairus).
The DVD includes a fascinating "Making of" documentary, and a Spanish version, which is spoken in the purest of Castillian Spanish, and will be appreciated by those who understand the language. Directed by Derek Hayes and Stanislav Sokolov, with a lovely score by Anne Dudley, this film is remarkable, and has a spirit that keeps it fresh after many viewings. It will also amaze anyone who is an animation aficionado, with its innovative, technical brilliance. Total running time is 87 minutes.

Un unicum nel panorama della cinematografia, a metà tra il cartoon e lo stop motion (in massima parte), narra le vicende descritte dal Vangelo in un modo che può rivelarsi facilmente accessibile ai più piccoli pur coinvolgendo i grandi. Ha fatto incetta di premi, e li merita tutti!!!!

A Gem
Reviewed in Canada on April 4, 2015
An absolute gem. Covers the ministry of Jesus in a timely way and presents events in a compact way good for children. My only criticism is the presence of "extras" at the Last Supper. Since this event is not just the institution of the Eucharist but the institution of the Priesthood, it is problematic that more than the Apostles are shown as being present.
