The Star of Bethlehem is an American animated film, of the comedy and adventure genre.

Three months later, a young donkey is tired of grinding wheat and wants to join a traveling caravan to feel important. His father helps him escape from the miller who owns them and he ends up with an injured ankle at the house of Maria and José, who have just had their wedding dinner. Mary adopts the donkey and names it Boaz, Bo for short, and reveals to Joseph that she is pregnant, with Joseph accepting Mary's situation after praying to God. During this time, Bo and his friend, pigeon Dave, plan to escape despite Maria's kindness, but end up staying six months longer.
