Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Star (2017) is produced by Affirm Films, a company under Sony that produces and distributes mainly conservative Christian films.
- GoofsWhen Bo gets Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, he's spotted by the Miller, his old owner. The Miller ropes Bo and drags him off, not only with Mary and Joseph's bed rolls and clothes, but as Joseph said "I left the money with Bo". When the Miller drags Bo into the manger, Bo suddenly has nothing on his back, and it's never explained where where the stuff belonging to Mary and Joseph went.
- Crazy creditsDuring the credits, it is shown that Joseph buys Bo from the miller, and Bo helps him and Mary raise Jesus.

Featured review
Odd but rewarding twist on the classic nativity story
A Christmas story from the point of view of the animals! I can't speak for the cultural appropriateness of this angle, but once you get past the fresh premise, it's a decent retelling. This film focuses on the donkey and other animals but it does show the main points of the overall nativity story so you're not missing out on anything. Their adventure is genuine and heartfelt, just maybe more profane than sacred.
