Easter may be about Easter egg hunts, but it’s the perfect time to share the Gospel of Christ with your children, and we’ve got you covered with this curated list. From the gentle story told in THE LION OF JUDAH to the exciting adventures in THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE, there’s something for everyone, ranging from little ones to Tweens.
LIGHT OF THE WORLD
LIGHT OF THE WORLD is a beautifully animated retelling of the story of Jesus’ later life and death, told through the eyes of a young follower, John the apostle. LIGHT OF THE WORLD is beautifully animated and entertaining, with a strong and inspiring Christian, biblical worldview, stressing faith, trust in God and family, and some suspenseful scenes and scenes of implied violence, so MOVIEGUIDE® advises parental discernment for young children.

THE KING OF KINGS (2025)
THE KING OF KINGS is an animated movie that tells the story of Jesus Christ by having Charles Dickens tell the Gospel story to his young son, Walter, after Walter has just destroyed Dickens’ performance of Scrooge before a large London audience. THE KING OF KINGS is a terrific, powerful and moving way to introduce your children to the story of Jesus in a way they can understand.

THE LION OF JUDAH
THE LION OF JUDAH is an animated allegory with animals rescuing a sacrificial lamb and finding out about Jesus. THE LION OF JUDAH goes in too many directions and the script needs reworking, but little children may enjoy this movie and, with their parents’ help, understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ even better.

DISCOVERING AN EMPTY TOMB: THE STORY OF EASTER
Great Bible Discovery Series is a noteworthy attempt to teach children Bible stories, but, regrettably, its effectiveness will be greatly limited by its meager budget and lack of quality. The first episode, DISCOVERING THE EMPTY TOMB: THE STORY OF EASTER follows Jesus from his triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to his glorious resurrection on Easter morning. Regrettably, the host needs much more direction and the script needs to be rewritten and child-tested.

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE
THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, based on C. S. Lewis’s popular Christian fable, tells the story of four English children, who enter the land of Narnia, where they meet Aslan, the son of the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea, who rescues the land from the evil White Witch. Despite some minor changes from the book, THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE retains most of its Christian focus and is tremendously exciting, thrilling and redemptive.

THE CHOSEN ADVENTURES: Episodes 1.1 – 1.6
THE CHOSEN ADVENTURES, an animated series on Prime Video, follows the story of Abby, a curious young girl living in First Century Capernaum, where she’s taught many biblical lessons by her parents and by Jesus Himself. The first six episodes of THE CHOSEN ADVENTURES are very engaging, with lots of humor, a focus on God and Jesus, and many strong Christian, biblical values teaching forgiveness, prayer, gratitude, and Scripture.

HOP
Combining live action with animated animals, HOP tells what happens when a slacker in Hollywood literally runs into the son of the Easter Bunny. HOP is a very funny, high-octane children’s comedy with good moral lessons, but it has little to do with the real story of Easter, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
