Tukich hopes that within a few years The Miracle Maker will be as beloved to Easter TV audiences as Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments. "I want this film to be a hit," she says. "I want it to be a perennial on ABC."If that does not come to pass, then for once cheesy special effects will not be to blame.

The official site of The Miracle Maker offers information about the film, a trailer, information about the cast (the human cast; there's very little about the clay) and characters, resources for churches and schools, e-cards, games, and other activities. (A warning: the site can be very slow at times.)
The BBC reports that the film is a hit in Britain, where it is showing in theaters.
Yesterday's Film Forum rounds up what other Christian critics are saying about The Miracle Maker.
The Miracle Maker won't be available for on video until September, but a few stores will let you preorder now.
