Movie Reviews

Lyles' Movie Files - 9/10 by Jeffrey LylesSuccessfully helps to fill that Christian focused Christmas movie void with a fun adventure for children with a message that will resonate with parents.
NYC Movie Guru - 9/10 by Avi OfferAn enormously entertaining film filled with plenty of delightful thrills, humor, wit, and pathos. Kids will love it. It's among the best animated films of 2017.
HollywoodInToto.com - 8/10 by Christian TotoFunny characters. Gentle slapstick. A faith-friendly narrative that won't annoy non-believers. What's not to enjoy?
National Catholic Register - 8/10 by Steven D. GreydanusA little like The Nativity Story meets The Secret Life of Pets, which probably sounds like a winning formula to some people. If you think The Secret Life of Pets is as mediocre as I think it is...
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) - 8/10 by Linda CookA sweet and often (tastefully) funny story of The Nativity told from the perspective of the animals involved.
Baret News - 8/10 by Kam WilliamsThe Nativity revisited as a kiddie cartoon adventure guaranteed to enthrall tykes of any race, color or creed.
Huffington Post - 7/10 by Jackie K. CooperThe Christmas Story told from a donkey's perspective makes for a fun filled, heart-warming animated movie. Surprisingly good.
Movie Mom - 7/10 by Nell MinowVisual panache is enhanced by delightful voice talent from a widely diverse cast in a film with action, humor, and heart.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 6/10 by Josh TerryThe Star may not make your Best Christmas Movies list, but Reckart has turned an interesting idea into a sincere and curious film.
AV Club - 6/10 by Ignatiy VishnevetskyThe director, Tim Reckart, is better known for his puppet-based stop-motion (he worked on Anomalisa and was Oscar-nominated for a short film) and seems to be out of his element here.
