From “The Miracle Maker: The Story of Jesus.”

I watched it for the Easter weekend when I was a little girl. Now, as I keep watching it for every Easter, I still love it. It is such a good movie, with great stop-motion animation and interesting 2D animated sequences.

The movie was companied by S4C - the same television program from Wales who did “Shakespeare: The Animated Series” and “Testament: The Bible in Animation” (for similar stop-motion and 2D animation, along with BBC.

Surprisingly, each director of Miracle Maker actually did the previous series because of the similar animation from S4C:

1. Derek W. Hayes - the director of “Testament: The Bible of Animation” (in 2 episodes)

2. Stanislav Sokolov - the director of “Shakespeare: The Animated Series” (in 2 episodes)

Also, Ralph Fiennes was the voice of Jesus in “Miracle Maker,” which it was surprising. After all, Fiennes had been well-known for voicing animated characters, along with Voldemort from Harry Potter films: Ramses from “The Prince of Egypt,” Victor Quagmire from “Wallace and Grommit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit,” The Moon King from “Kubo and the Two Strings,” and even Alfred from “The Lego Batman Movie.” 

If you love stop-motion animation, go and see this movie - it has great meaning of divinity and humanity, while Fiennes did a good job for voicing Jesus. ^w^
