‘Lion of Judah’ Animated Movie Premieres in June
A laugh-filled, heart-warming, animated, Christian tale, The Lion of Judah is premiers nationwide on June 3.
The Lion of Judah is seen through the eyes of a zany cast of stable animals and features the voice talents of Academy Award-winner Ernest Borgnine, Scott Eastwood, Michael Madsen, Georgina Cordova, and others.
“This delightful animated story is a wonderful way to begin discussing the hope of Jesus with your younger children. I loved it and my grandchildren adored the characters,” says Ruth Graham, daughter of evangelist Billy Graham.
The Lion of Judah is roaring adventure with Judah (Cordova), the spunky and heroic lamb; Slink (Borgnine), a rat with a plan and the natural leader of the group; Jack (Eastwood), a downtrodden, teenaged donkey with an attitude; Boss (Madsen), a street-smart Raven who strives to be better; Esmay (Sandi Patty), a motherly cow; Horace (Omar Benson Miller), an unmannerly but big-hearted pig; Monty (Anupam Kher), a faint-hearted horse; and Drake (Alphonso McAuley), a zany, rambling rooster.
