In Sony Pictures Animation's THE STAR, a small but brave donkey named Bo yearns for a life beyond his daily grind at the village mill. One day he finds the courage to break free, and finally goes on the adventure of his dreams. On his journey, he teams up with Ruth, a loveable sheep who has lost her flock and Dave, a dove with lofty aspirations. Along with three wisecracking camels and some eccentric stable animals, Bo and his new friends follow the Star and become unlikely heroes in the greatest story ever told – the first Christmas.
I loved The Star not only for its unique account and clever way of depicting the birth of Jesus, but it was told thru the animal's eyes. What they would have seen, heard and most importantly what they were a part of. In one of the scenes, Patricia Heaton character says, “ I haven't slept in 9 months because of the star.” I have never once thought of how the animals might have been affected. Here is the kicker, that bright star that was shining brightly for Jesus birth, is The Star of Bethlehem, also called the Christmas Star. It’s the star that led the wise men to Bethlehem and revealed the birth of Jesus, how did I forget this important information? This is why we place the star on top of our tree, how have I forgotten the simplicity learnings? To my none religious families , you might be asking if you should take the family to The Star. Yes, it's not a Bible-thumping movie, it’s a movie about compassion, having faith, trusting in one other and integrity. There's so much more to this than the birth of Jesus.
