Eleven Revered Voice Actors Bring Heart, Humor, and Emotion to Over 30 Characters in the New Animated Feature Depicting the Life of Jesus

LOS ANGELES, CA – March 20, 2025 – The upcoming animated film The King of Kings boasts an all-star voice cast led by industry veterans Jim Cummings, James Arnold Taylor, and Dee Bradley Baker. This family-friendly epic, set to be released in theaters on April 11, 2025, is a global theatrical venture from Mofac Animation Studios, distributed by Angel Studios.

A Unique Biblical Retelling Through the Lens of Charles Dickens

In The King of Kings, master storyteller Charles Dickens (voiced by Academy Award winner Kenneth Branagh) and his son Walter (Roman Griffin Davis) embark on a fantastical journey through time and faith. As Dickens narrates the life of Jesus Christ (Oscar Isaac), the duo – along with their cat, Willa – become fully immersed in the biblical era, interacting with Jesus, his disciples, and historical figures. This fresh storytelling approach makes the biblical narrative engaging and accessible for audiences of all ages.
