The Star, an animated heart-warming tale of faith and friendship, is now available on DVD, Blu-Ray, and Digital. Featuring the vocal talents of Steven Yeun, Gina Rodriguez, Zachary Levi, Keegan-Michael Key, Kelly Clarkson, Anthony Anderson, Aidy Bryant, Ving Rhames, Gabriel Iglesias, Patricia Heaton, Kristen Chenoweth, Christopher Plummer, Oprah Winfrey, Tracey Morgan, and Tyler Perry, the film is a delight to young, old, and everyone in-between. Children will be delighted with the brightly drawn, loveable animals (*Word of Caution: There are a couple of scary dogs, so film is rated PG.) and older kids (and adults) will enjoy the humor. The music is outstanding! The soundtrack includes the Golden Globe® nominated (Best Original Song) "The Star" by Mariah Carey and Marc Shaiman. Writers Carlos Kotkin and Simon Moore, plus director Timothy Reckart are to be commended for this story of the birth of Christ as told through the animals.
Sony Pictures Animation's story of 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.
THE STAR is filled with more than an hour of engaging bonus materials including the “Star-aoke: Sing Along with Bo & Friends,” a dance along to “Life Is Good” by A Great Big World, plus a collection of fun lyric videos, “how-to” crafts videos and much more! Additionally, there is an awesome LIVE Guided Bible Study with Star Executive Producer DeVon Franklin that is “interactive and super engaging." Follow the instructions to get inspired! TheStarMovie.
