25 animated holiday movies that’ll make you feel like a kid again

The Star

Notable cast: Steven Yeun, Zachary Levi, Aidy Bryant, Oprah, Gina Rodgriuez, and more

What it’s about: This film tells the story of a young donkey named Bo who lives in a small village working at a mill. His life is tiresome and difficult until one day he escapes and goes on the adventure he has always wanted to. Along the way, he teams up with friends such as Ruth the sheep and Dave the dove.

Why you should watch it for the holidays: Movies with cute animals as the main characters are always staples of children’s movies, and The Star is a great example of this with a Christmas twist. This film is a little different than some of the others on this list as it doesn’t feature snowy landscapes or typical figures like Santa Claus.

As Bo and his friends escape their small life in the village, they end up on an adventure that has to do with the nativity story. The star in this film refers to the Star of Bethlehem, the star that guides the three wise men as they go to pay homage to baby Jesus. As evident by the synopsis, the film heavily focuses on more of the Christian lessons and values that Christmas teaches.

For those looking to brush up on their Bible study, then this movie will be something that you can enjoy while you test your knowledge of the Nativity. Even if you’re not necessarily looking for a Bible lesson in your Christmas movies, you might still enjoy it for the adorable animals and all the celebrities appearances.

So, while this movie might not be for everyone, it’s a cute story with some adorable animals, and many people are likely to enjoy it.
