This would be worth the watching, tho I doubt it would ever get released in the United States. There was a comic book version of John Paul's life that came out not long after his ascension; this looks to be an apple from the same orchard.
I love animation and anime, it says things straight films can't always say. Of course, I'm guessing this will stick to the facts and faith of John Paul's life, in contrast to the wild IncrediblePopeman comic from South America, which is just silly. Please keep us informed!

Now we need an action anime of Benedicts XVI life! Nazis, Lefebvre, Vatican II, Doctrine of the Faith oh my!

Cartoons, if well made, can be absolutely delightful, especially for kids. Tony.

Excellent. And coming right after the hackers, it's wonderful.

Maybe it'll be like a Disney movie with pop tunes and songs interspersed throughtout. Or maybe instead of those, there might be some Gregorian chants!

I think this is a wonderful idea.

The animated version of the life of Pope JP2 will surely be attractive to children.

I hope it will bring to them a new hero - and possibly teach them a set of values.

Yes, I'd very much like to see this. I'm in Canada, and have no clue how we'll get this . . . have to get my intrepid husband on it.
