At a recent sneak peek event, the excitement was palpable as teenagers from around the world erupted into chants of “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!” What sparked their enthusiasm were the first glimpses of the highly anticipated JESUS film. Jesus Film Project® unveiled first-look clips of their upcoming animated feature film, JESUS, during TeenStreet Europe, a major Christian event that drew thousands of teenagers worldwide.

Based on the New Testament Gospels, the new film depicts the life of Jesus, His miracles, death, crucifixion and resurrection, through high-quality animation.

“I love the idea of this movie,” said Daniela, a teenager from Portugal. “I love that we’re trying to do something for kids, teens and also for adults! I think everybody loves this kind of movie.”

Angelica from Germany said: “I really liked how creative it was and powerful.”

11 year-old Asher said: “I will show it to all the rest of my friends because they don’t understand why I believe in God and I think this is a good way to show them why I believe in Jesus and God.”

Teenagers who attended the screenings expressed their excitement in different ways. Many were eager to share the JESUS film with friends, seeing it as a way to start meaningful conversations about faith. They also discussed their emotional reactions to some of the film’s pivotal scenes, which resonated with the audience and left a lasting impression on younger and older viewers alike.

Some teenagers also reflected on the role of women in the Resurrection as shown in the film, highlighting a thoughtful engagement with the gospel.

Geoff Peters, Global Marketing Director for Jesus Film Project, said: “Showcasing clips from our new film at Teenstreet Europe was nothing short of astounding. The energetic response from the teens, their visceral reactions to the depiction of biblical miracles, and the emotions expressed during the crucifixion scenes were deeply moving.

“The cheers that erupted during the resurrection scenes were particularly memorable. Young Christians are clearly on the move, and it’s an honour to be part of equipping them to share the Gospel through this new film. The enthusiastic reception of JESUS underscores a growing desire among young people for meaningful and faith-based content.”

JESUS is an animated family film designed to bring the life of Jesus to new generations and audiences of all ages. Based on the Christian Gospels, this film re-imagines the 1979 JESUS film and aims to be translated into over 2,100 languages.
