The Jesus Film Project announced an animated remake of the 1979 “JESUS” movie set for release in December 2025.
The new film’s director, Dominic Carola, worked on other animated films like “The Lion King,” “Mulan,” and “Lilo & Stich.”

“We are working towards presenting the true story of Jesus beautifully animated and making His story more accessible to the world,” Carola said.
They plan to translate the film into more than 2,000 languages and release it in theaters worldwide.
“It’s amazing to be a part of the continued dispersal of the story of Jesus,” Josh Newell, executive director of the film, said.

“Even still in 2023, we’re sharing the gospel in new languages and new ways,” he added. “The telling of the story of Jesus has evolved throughout history, from the Roman Road to the Gutenberg Press, and right up to the present day through the medium of animated film.“
Tens of millions of people made decisions to follow Christ after watching the original film, according to the company.
“It’s not about a movie, it’s about Jesus,” one of the project’s workers said in a promotion video. “That’s the mission.”
