Welcome Back Readers~
This June, Sony Pictures Animation's The Star premiered on Netflix; this animated story of Jesus Christ's birth is told from a very unique perspective- an animal's point of view. While many animals join in on the adventure, the story is told primarily from the perspective of a donkey named Bo. Bo is looking for his purpose on this earth; he has dreams of becoming part of the King's caravan. In order to achieve his goal, he escapes from his owner's shed; unfortunately for him, the owner is close behind. Somehow, though, Bo finds solace in Mary's house. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Mary has been told by the angel Gabriel that she is to give birth to Jesus. This part of the story is biblically accurate, with Mary questioning "Why her?:; In the end, she accepts it saying "Let it be as you have said." Joseph is surprised by Mary's news but takes it in stride after going to God in prayer. As they decide to travel to Bethlehem, the two debate bringing Bo. Long story short, they decide not too. Finally, Bo is free to escape and join the caravan.
Or so he thinks..
When Herod's dogs arrive to find Mary, Bo must warn them. And so the journey begins..
On the surface, this storyline is very entertaining with stars like Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey lending their voices; although the major plot gets somewhat lost. For example, Herod did not send his dogs to search for the child; instead, he enlisted the help of the three wise men. Going a little bit farther; it did not show them being warned in a dream not to go back and report to Herod
On a brighter note, I liked how mainstream and Christian singers joined forces in the making of this soundtrack. My favorite songs were On a brighter note, I liked how mainstream and Christian singers joined forces in the making of this soundtrack. My favorite songs were "Mary, Did You Know?" By Zara Larson, "His Eye is On The Sparrow" by Casting Crowns, and "Carol of the Bells" by Pentatonix.
