''[[The Miracle Maker]]'' is an animated film made in the 2000s telling the life of [[Jesus Christ]], largely through [[Sidelong Glance Biopic|the eyes of Jairus' daughter]] [[Ascended Extra|Tamar]]. It features both 3D puppet animation and 2D traditional animation for parables or dream sequences, and serves as a sort of a [[Spiritual Successor]] (no pun intended) to the animated Testament tales.
 
Despite being an animated film, it features several examples of [[Nightmare Fuel]] and generally unpleasant scenes, as well as intelligent [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] and an [[All -Star Cast]], led by Ralph Fiennes as Jesus.
