Trivia
Because it isn't specifically stated in the Bible itself, various sources have given different theories regarding which man gave Jesus which gift. In this case, Melchior is shown giving the gold, Balthasar the frankincense, and Caspar the myrrh.

Enchanting view of a familiar tale

We all know the story-- no spoiler warning needed here. What a great animated short film-- the music is captivating and the rhyme reminds me of Twas the Night Before Christmas. Andy Griffith is a great choice for narrator. My daughter loves it and that's probably the best predictor of a movie's popularity in our house. She loves to play with her toys and then take a 23 minute break and watch this movie. The film is honest, funny, and purely enjoyable. What a great way to introduce my children to the birth of Christ. My only gripe is that I wish it was longer. I hoped it would be more of a feature film length than merely 23 minutes.
