Reception & Promotion
This film has had an early showing on, at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, & since, recieved many great reviews. Such as -- "A sure to become classic animated movie that brings the teachings of Jesus to life in today's families through the story of five misfit animals on a journey toward love and forgiveness. Jericho, is a vagabond street dog who befriends Jesus and follows him throughout the last week of his life through the resurrection. After Jesus' arrest at Gethsemane, Jericho rallies an epic charge of animal friends to try to save Jesus from his fate. Although the events regarding the animals interaction with Jesus are obviously fictionalized, Jesus is portrayed as he is in the Bible, loving and compassionate, and true events are portrayed such as the Triumphal Entry, overturning of the money changers' tables, and his false arrest, trial, crucifixion and resurrection." -- & -- "A sure to become classic animated movie that brings the teachings of Jesus to life for today’s families through the story of five misfit animals on a journey towards love and forgiveness.

Our hero, Jericho, is a vagabond street dog who befriends Jesus and follows him throughout the week. Jericho hates humans, so when Jesus is kind to him, it’s the biggest surprise of his life. We see him turn from fear and anger to love and grace when he learns how to forgive a man who hurt him in the past. After Jesus’ arrest at Gethsemane, Jericho rallies an epic charge of animal friends to try to save Jesus from his fate. Jericho’s grief at the Crucifixion becomes joyous celebration at witnessing the Resurrection, the greatest miracle of the Christian faith. No one was there to see it. So of course, the story has never been told." -- & last but not least -- "In this religious themed animated release for kids, a noble hearted street dog named Jericho makes a very special friend when he meets a kind hearted carpenter named Jesus a friend that the dog inspires Jericho and his friends to come to his rescue, when he's arrested at Gethsemane."
