Light of the World 2-D Movie – In Theaters September 5

Get ready for a heartfelt cinematic treat this September—Light of the World, a beautifully hand-drawn 2D animated feature, opens in theaters on September 5, 2025—and trust me, you’ll want to be there.

A Fresh Take on a Timeless Story

Light of the World is a spiritually rich animation that revisits the life of Jesus through the eyes of a young Apostle John in AD 30. It follows John’s expectations of a Messiah to save his family from oppression, but instead, he’s swept into a journey of faith, friendship, and self-discovery—told with the warmth and whimsy of classic 1990s Disney-style storytelling.

The film is co-directed by Tom Bancroft and John J. Schafer, with animation direction from Tony Bancroft—Disney veterans who’ve worked on beloved classics such as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King.

Why It’s Special

  • Beautifully Crafted Animation
    Every scene is hand-drawn, capturing the little imperfections that breathe life into classic animation. It’s a thoughtful artistic choice, reminding us of the only perfect person to walk the earth—Jesus.

  • Narrative with Heart
    While not positioned as the central character, Jesus’s presence shapes the story in profound ways. By focusing on young John, the film provides a relatable, coming-of-age perspective that resonates with families and young viewers alike.

  • Spiritual Depth with Emotional Impact
    The movie balances lighthearted humor—like a memorable comic relief moment—with deep emotional weight surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection. These arcs encourage meaningful faith-based conversations long after the credits roll.

  • A New Evangelistic Tool
    Beyond entertainment, the film is designed as a ministry resource. It comes with tie-in materials for families and churches, including curriculum and engaging activities to reinforce its themes.

  • Global Reach
    While debuting first in the United States and Canada on September 5, international audiences can also look forward to the release across more than 25 countries in multiple languages.

Final Thoughts

Light of the World feels like a breath of fresh hope—a nostalgic nod to animation’s golden era, retelling the Gospel with sincerity, beauty, and creative authenticity. It’s a perfect pick for family movie nights, church groups, or anyone longing for an inspiring animated journey.

Mark your calendars for Friday, September 5, 2025. Whether you’re seeking a touching faith-based film, a spiritual conversation-starter, or just a visually stunning animated experience, Light of the World promises to leave you moved and inspired.
