Critic Reviews for The Lion of Judah

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (2) | Rotten (6)

The slapdash animation is matched in kind by the patched-together story.

Andrew Barker
Variety
The Lion of Judah turns out to be a lamb and this Bible story with animals turns out to be exceedingly lame.

Kirk Honeycutt
Hollywood Reporter
The meek may inherit the Earth, but they won't do well at the multiplex if they can't do better than this.

Roger Moore
Tribune News Service
Amateurish animation mars Christian animal tale about Jesus.

Sandie Angulo Chen
Common Sense Media
The film's website calls it the 'first ever 3-D animated, family-friendly, faith-based movie,' but you may call it 'The Passion of the Christ' meets 'Babe.'

John Beifuss
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
This isn't a warm, gently humorous, inoffensive parable about values, like the VeggieTales series. No, this is so much more horrible (and fascinating) than that.
