I cannot fathom what was going through the heads of the people who decided to design this enormously mean-spirited and sad "Christmas Special." The cruelty depicted in this kids show goes way overboard. It made me feel terrible even as an adult. I would not willingly show this to any small child, but any kid old enough to watch this should know there was no long-eared talking donkey in the original nativity. I am very confused by these religious-themed animated stories from the 1970s that are determined to be fanciful and contradict the original Bible stories they're ostensibly intended to support.
