Miracle Maker, The

Aroview: Once you get used to the jerky, THUNDERBIRDS puppet-style, this version of the Bible-story is something quite unique, allowing the oft-told tale of Jesus Christ political realism, humour and renewed sense of wonder. The product of the BBC and two Russian animators, with excellent vocal performances from Ralph Fiennes, Julie Christie, William Hurt, Ian Holm, Miranda Richardson, Ken Stott and Richard E Grant.
