      Biblical story and superhero story

      In the past few years, I have seen a lot of biblical remakes of movies. Some movies are really bad and are self-entertaining within the evangelicals. They have no depth and no technical content. Some, such as the star, tell the nativity story through a new animal perspective, adding a lot of fun and laughter. In the film, there is also a moderate amount of Christian faith through the characterization, there is no trace of deliberate preaching, and there is no forceful pursuit of "depth" like...

      A cartoon of the Nativity from an animal's point of view, the story is simple, but the animation is smooth. Animals have a bit of meaning, some scenes and pictures are pretty good, and the plot songs are also pretty good. In general, it's a decent religious propaganda film with a little...

    Evaluation action

    Director Timothy Reckart and screenwriter Carlos Kotkin tried to separate the Sunday school from the cartoon network, but they did not meet the standards of the two. The film "The Star" tells it through some rude animal perspectives. The story of the birth of Jesus turned out to be uncomfortable for the audience   . Although there are some embarrassing plots in "The Star", it is not a vivid story. The film emphasizes the faith in the...

    Movie quotes

    • Ruth: Hey, everybody! What's up? It's me, Ruth!

      [Ruth's flock steps away from her]

      Ruth: Okay, I know you guys think it was crazy for me to leave and follow the star, but you wouldn't believe all the adventures I've had out there, and the biggest one of all is happening tonight. I made new friends, and they need my help, so this time, you gotta follow me.

      [the flock ignores her]

      Ruth: Guys?

      [they still ignore her]

      Ruth: [shouts] This is important!

      [She stamps her hoof down, and lightning strikes in sync with it. This catches the flock's attention. Ruth looks at her hoof as if to say, "Did I do that?" Then a light beams down from the sky]

      Ruth: Whoa.

      [the Angel appears before the flock and the shepherds]

      Angel: Fear not. I bring good tidings of great joy, for unto you is born this day a savior... Christ, the Lord.

      Ruth: Told ya it was important.

    • Dave: This is what I get for having a friend who can't fly! You know? Gates were never a problem before I met you!

    • Bo: They left the gate open! I'll make a run for it. Dave, you jump out and create a distraction.

      Dave: What? No! Terrible plan! Why don't you create a distraction and I run for it?

      Bo: Because I'm the one that's trapped in here, and you can fly, as you keep telling me!

      Dave: All valid points.
