The Lion Of Judah 3D Blu-Ray Review And Giveaway

The Lion of Judah is an animated affair aimed at the story of Easter, and while it doesn’t manage to rise above many in terms of its animation, or its writing, when compared on a general level, it’s one of the more solid efforts you’ll run into when it comes to developing a complex (and tricky) subject for a young audience.

A group of farm animals are introduced to Judah, a lamb, only to have him quickly taken away. They decide to rescue him, and, meeting up with a donkey along the way, head out to find their new friend. Unprepared for pretty much anything that might come their way, the band gets separated, and quickly learn that the city has a lot of dangers in store for them, some that aren’t so obvious.

The whimsical characters are developed with the especially young in mind, and the film manages a fairly slick adventure that hits the right notes in delivering the story its ultimately after. This is actually pretty dangerous ground if you think about the multitude of ways in which a wide variety of people might not take kindly to anything “going wrong” with the overall plot development, and the movie does a fine job.

The animation is distractingly rough, but the target audience won’t mind, and there are enough antics and fast-paced moments to keep attention away from how things look.

It’s a fine adventure tale, and unique enough that there is little to choose over it. If the idea grabs your interest, the movie isn’t likely to disappoint.

About the Film

Judah’s new friends, led by Slink the clever mouse (Ernest Borgnine) and Esmay the motherly cow (Sandy Patti) meet up with Jack (Scott Eastwood), a teenaged donkey with an attitude. Jack is less than happy to be part of the crew, but when the furry and feathered band of stable animals get separated and needs saving, it’s Jack who rushes to their rescue. Even the best efforts of Jack and the rest of the stable friends are not enough to save Judah. In this incredible tale of adventure and compassion, it takes the greatest hero of all, The King, to save Judah… and all the other animals, too!
