At Jesus' Side

The last week of Jesus’ life through the Resurrection, as seen through the eyes of a pack of outcast animals. Jericho, a vagabond street dog, befriends Jesus and follows Him throughout the week. Jericho hates humans, so when Jesus shows kindness, it’s the biggest surprise of his life. He slowly turns 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, Jericho rallies an epic charge of animal friends to save Jesus from His fate.

Directed by William R. Kowalchuk Jr., At Jesus' Side leans on a strong ensemble — Lucas Grabeel, Roma Downey, Kathleen Barr — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2008.
