This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?

Hey Sparkles. I went and saw a new movie in theatres. The film is entitled “The Star.”

About this movie:

This movie is about Jesus’ birth story, and a ditsy donkey named Bo is the main character.

Positive aspects of “The Star.”

• A hint at another part of the Bible story – Elizabeth saying to Zachariah, “I liked you better when you COULDN’T talk!”
• Always coming back and focusing on the star.
• Kid-Friendly plot.
• Christmas carol underscores matches perfectly with the action.
• Great animation.
• Awe-inspiring message.
• Cute characters – see below.
• The perfect balance between reverence and irreverence.

Main Character List “The Star.”

• Ruth, a brave sheep who is in love with Bo
• Dave, a loyal dove who is Bo’s BFF
• Leah, a singing horse
• Abby, a silly mouse
• Deborah, a wise camel
• Two other camels
• A wide-eyed goat named Zach
• Two mean dogs – Thaddeus and Rufus
• Mary, the mother of Jesus

Negative aspects of “The Star.”

• Bo repeatedly makes enormous destruction in Nazareth.
• King Herod is very evil and sinister.
