The Star |
In The Star, we get to know about the unsung heroes of The Nativity, the animals who saved Christmas from a wretched tyrant who wants to gets his hands on the Holy Child. It's about a small donkey who steps out from his comfort zone and into his biggest adventure of his life as he teams up with a sheep named Ruth, a dove named Dave, and some other animals he encounter later on as they set off to follow the Star and save The Nativity.
What we have here is a proper Christmas movie for the religious of families who want something that isn't about snowing, or Santa Claus, or gifts, or whatever Christmas cliche they come across. No. What they really want is a Christmas movie that centers on the true meaning of Christmas in the form of witnessing The Nativity even in the eyes of the animals who became the unsung heroes of The Nativity, no matter what lays ahead with them.
Of course, with all that hilarity ensued like most typical cartoon films we are used to, and its above average potential that will charm moviegoers with their characters, that won't stop moviegoers from watching a proper Christmas movie about the First Christmas, even families who spend their kids binge-watching Superbook all day long before setting off to see this film. With some humor, some potential, and some lessons we can all share it from, The Star is a Christmas flick we can really watch if we had it with those usual Christmas cliche and I think they're on to something here.
My rating: 3.7 out of 5.
