The Star UK Release Date

This innocuously irreverent faith-based cartoon re-imagines the nativity story from the perspective of the animals who witnessed Jesus' birth.

The animated trifle The Star passes the Nativity through its ass.

The Star is an unremarkable animated film for young audiences, but its heart seems to be in the right place.

The movie is sincerely Christian in its outlook, while also a slapstick animal ’toon. It’s a mix that works only intermittently. But when it doesn’t pop, it thuds.

Steven Yeun, Gina Rodriguez, Keegan-Michael Key and Oprah Winfrey lend their voices to an animated telling of the Nativity.

You know what would make the Nativity story so much better? Wise-cracking animated animals that save the day—or so the creative team behind this holiday-themed family flick thinks.

Director Timothy Reckart's The Star turns the greatest story ever told into just another kids' movie.

Sanctimony and silliness make strange bedfellows in this wacky-talking-animals Nativity tale.
