I can’t wait to take my girls to see the new Sony movie, The Star. Just from seeing the movie trailer, I know that we are all going to absolutely love it. It’s so great when movies can truly be enjoyed by the whole family. With the amazing singing voices and actors in this show, I’m sure everyone will love it. Thanks to our sponsor Sony, we have a fun giveaway prize for 5 lucky Canadian winners.
I love treating my girls to a night out at the movies. It’s a special way we can all relax and spend time together. So when a movie as meaningful as The Star this comes to theatres, we will definitely go to see it.
Take a look at the trailer…
Movie Synopsis:
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 lovable 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 accidental heroes in the greatest story ever told – the first Christmas.
Check out the awesome actors in this movie…
A few of my favorite actors that I’m most excited about are…
Kelly Clarkson: Leah the horse
Keegan–Michael Key: Dave the dove
Patricia Heaton: Edith the cow
Kris Kristofferson: Old Donkey
Oprah Winfrey: Deborah
Tyler Perry: Cyrus
Tracy Morgan: Felix as the three camels

Christmas is such a commercialized nightmare these days. I think it’s wonderful that a big studio would produce a fun animated film about the true reason for the season. I’m looking forward to it. Thank you for the chance to win.

Anytime I can take my niece to a good movie, I am always looking forward for this.
I love these ‘children’s’ movies. They are often so will made that they put to shame the films for adults. The Box office often shows that many prefer the children’s.
It will be so wonderful to enjoy this movie with my family and great grandchildren.
This looks like a fun movie that i could watch with my grandchildren
I would like to see this as I believe in what happened at Christmas and in Christ.

A classic story with a new twist, perfect for the Christmas season.
I just love animated movies and especially at Christmas,makes it magical. Thanks
We are huge movie buffs here! And like you, I love a movie that the whole family can enjoy. We still stick mostly to animated movies for our girls (ages 9 through 2) but this one looks adorable. Plus, a great way to think about the familiar Nativity story in a new way. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

I’m looking forward to seeing the movie and sharing the experience with my grandchildren. I think it is a movie that every child should see!
Looking forward to a movie that is good, clean fun and I don’t have to worry that it is not suitable for young kids so I can enjoy myself too.
We haven’t been to a family movie for a long time…this one looks like it could be it!
We would love to see it as a reminder of what is really important during this season.
My daughters are 4 and 6 and they are huge movie fans! It’s a very special treat when I take them to the movies and I think this would be the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit!
I would love to take my nieces to watch this and get us all in the Christmas mood

I would love to show this movie so my kiddo can understand the story of Christmas.
I am so looking forward to a movie all my children can go to at once that supports our beliefs…what a wonderful story!!! We have four kids so the span to cover their ages is often hard to account for, not to mention they only get to see one movie a year…so exciting.
My girls attend a Catholic School and watching the story of Christmas would begin our holiday season of Christ perfectly.
Would love to take my girls to see this movie !
This looks to be a great movie to introduce my kids to the first Christmas story – as a film rather than a book.
This movie looks so adorable! A really good Christmas message and the animation looks great too!
