    • Trivia
      The markings on Bo's back make a cross.
    • Goofs
      When Bo gets Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, he's spotted by the Miller, his old owner. The Miller ropes Bo and drags him off, not only with Mary and Joseph's bed rolls and clothes, but as Joseph said "I left the money with Bo". When the Miller drags Bo into the manger, Bo suddenly has nothing on his back, and it's never explained where where the stuff belonging to Mary and Joseph went.
    • Quotes

      Dave: Wait a second. Are they eating chicken? Ladies, run!

    • Crazy credits
      During the credits, it is shown that Joseph buys Bo from the miller, and Bo helps him and Mary raise Jesus.

    Grand kids loved it!
    I saw a preview of this on utube and immediately made sure my grand babies went to see it. I guess I'll use the same word as previous reviewer who thought it was INDOCTRINATION. Yep, I guess I've wanted my kids/gk to be indoctrinated to Christmas being about Jesus. It's hard "fitting it in" with all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Was proud to be there with ALL 5 of them (ages 4-7) Animation was OK, not like Disney of course, but it kept the kids attention. It has some funny parts. It's all from the perspective of the animals, and it takes a while to get to where the star is leading. I hope the kids got it with the typical noise in a movie for children. But either way, I'm glad they can see a movie that tells the story of Jesus at Christmas time. Better than most of what is offered to them on TV and theatre these days!!
