Trivia

With the aim of targeting the larger and more profitable English-speaking audiences, the voices for The 3 Wise Men were originally recorded in English - twice, in fact, after a change in direction led to a major rewrite of the script - and only after animation was it dubbed into Spanish for the theatrical release in Spain. For the Disney/Walmart release in the USA, however, much of the film was revoiced in California with more American accents and some better-known actors.

Quotes

Alfredo: Jimmy, you scared me half to death.
Jimmy: Hey, you don't close for another two hours. Did you do that on purpose?
Alfredo: Well, I knew that just at that moment you would skate in, loaded with Christmas lights, and I said to myself: "If I close the grates, it would look more spectacular." And it did.

Alternate Versions

The original version of The 3 Wise Men was in English and recorded at Telson studios in Madrid, Spain, under voice director Stephen Hughes, who also adapted the Spanish script into English and played the part of Belial. After animation it was dubbed into Spanish. This original English soundtrack was included in the limited 2004 video release in Spain.

Better Known as "The 3 Wise Men"

This is a little known Animated Christmas film, released through the Disney company and Wal-Mart in 2005. Originally, the film was released in Spain in 2003. For the English voice over cast, which included such actors as Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez for very different roles. Sheen voiced one of the three Kings, while Estevez, doing very well, voiced an evil magician like guy, who was in the realm of King Herod as a vizier.

This film is very well animated, and tells the story of Jesus' birth at Nazareth, in which the three Kings come bearing the three gifts; gold, myrrh, and frankincense. King Herod on the other hand, wants the new born dead. Everyone should watch this movie if they like the story of the Three Kings. But, don't take my word for it. Experience this film for yourself. You are sure to enjoy. It definitely deserved a 9/10 rating.
