The Salvation Poem Project Unveils Exciting Trailer for LIGHT OF THE WORLD

The highly anticipated 2D animated film, LIGHT OF THE WORLD, from the non-profit studio The Salvation Poem Project, is gearing up for its theatrical release on September 5, 2025. This captivating film aims to inspire all ages with a powerful retelling of the life of Jesus Christ, combining stunning animation with profound messages of faith.

A New Era of Animation
The film's producer, Brennan McPherson, describes it as more than mere entertainment; it’s intended to serve as a global mission that conveys the truth of Jesus through the art of animation. According to him, "LIGHT OF THE WORLD is the film families have been waiting for—something you can watch together, knowing it will clearly portray the truth of Jesus."

A Star-Studded Team Behind the Film
Drawing from a wealth of experience and creativity, the film showcases the talents of director John J. Schafer, known for his work on SUPERBOOK, and Tom Bancroft, who previously contributed to classics like BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and THE LION KING. Animation director Tony Bancroft, famous for MULAN and MARY POPPINS RETURNS, also plays a pivotal role in bringing this project to life.

"It has been a tremendous blessing to be part of telling the story of Jesus through the lens of one of his very own disciples," shares Bancroft, expressing excitement about utilizing 2D animation to deliver a fresh and nostalgic experience.

The Story of Jesus Retold
Set in 30 AD, the film narrates the story of Jesus through the eyes of his beloved disciple, the Apostle John. As communities await the arrival of the Messiah, they soon discover that Jesus is far from the figure they anticipated. From his ministry to his crucifixion and resurrection, LIGHT OF THE WORLD illustrates how Jesus of Nazareth has changed the world and continues to impact lives.

The acquisition of CanZion Films, a prominent distributor in the faith-based media space, will help broaden the film's reach to Spanish-speaking audiences, furthering the mission of sharing this compelling story globally.

Supporting Materials and Resources
In addition to the film, The Salvation Poem Project is launching a range of motivating print products, set to release on September 2, 2025, in collaboration with Tyndale House Publishers. Further enhancing the outreach, they have developed a free kids' ministry curriculum inspired by the film’s story and themes, available through their resource page at lightoftheworld.com/#resources.
