    I was dissappointed because it wasn’t the real Ben Hur movie with Charlton Heston (not the cartoon). But we decided that instead of wasting the shipping sending it back. . . we would watch it. Besides the magic – special effects type stuff (lightning zaps from the cross) and the female angel- I like it better than the hateful, bloody “real” movie for my children. Charlton Heston sounds too old for the part.

    Our family loves the story of Ben Hur. The cartoon version is wonderfully told. It is an exciting story of strength, love and faith.

    The iconic voice of the beloved and late Charlton Heston is captivating in this biblically based animated film based on the original Ben Hur movie. My children love it. They are being taught biblical truths and having their little hearts shaped into lovers of God, all while enjoying a fun, animated movie!!

    The latest film version of BEN HUR is an animated retelling that emphasizes the novel’s original subtitle: A Tale of the Christ. Charlton Heston reprises his Oscar© winning 1959 film role as the voice of Ben (and also narrator). Sadly, the animation is second rate and nowhere near the quality of “Prince of Egypt. ” The voice work is not particularly imaginative with the exception of Heston who is more emotional and worldly wise than the blandly drawn young hero. Still, there’s an admirable bravery to the provocative enterprise; after all, it’s about a Jew on the road to revenge who stumbles across a forgiving Christ. How radical is that? Limited extras include brief statements from a somewhat haunted looking Heston who, oddly, speaks almost without emotion or expression.
