My boys will be playing soldiers in our parish Passion Play next month. I am thrilled to have them involved with this project! 
Now, we've obviously read and talked about the Easter story, but they are so visual. I thought I might look for a child-friendly movie to show them. (They are 6, 8 and 12.)
Has anyone viewed this DVD? It seems to have good reviews. Or can you recommend something similar?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I purchased the trilogy a couple of years ago based on a recommendation from these forums. We weren't disappointed.

We just have the he is risen part of the trilogy but my dc like it very much.
Our then 3 yrold would only watch on mama's lap but just right for the 6 yrold.

It's very well done. My ds5 has watched it for two years now and becomes sad, but not frightened. I'd recommend it for your boys.

Thanks so much for the advice, Michaela, Maggie and Paula. I just placed the movie in my Amazon cart!

Thanks for asking about this, Dawn. I was laying in bed last night wondering if my dd, 12 and dd, 10 were old enough to watch Gibson's The Passion of the Christ this Lent...I am not so sure and then what about all the youngers? This should fit the bill for all of us.

Oooh, thanks for posting this! We've watched "The Gospel of John" last year, but it'll be nice to have something new, too. I hadn't seen this before ... Thanks for bumping it up.
