Samuel and the Sign

About This Movie

So, 'Samuel and the Sign' is this animated film from 1990 that dives into a pretty unique slice of scripture-based storytelling. It presents Samuel the Lamanite, who’s got this serious mission to warn the wicked Nephites about the coming birth of Christ. The animation style has that nostalgic feel, very much of its time, and it evokes a sense of earnestness in its themes of faith and persecution. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it adds to the tension of Samuel’s plight. There’s something distinctive about how it portrays the struggle between belief and oppression, with the Gadianton robbers looming as these ominous figures. The whole thing has a quaint charm, reminiscent of the family-oriented animations of that era.
