This November, Sony’s faith-based Affirm Films division and Sony Pictures Animation release “The Star,” an animated feature taking the animals’ point of view on the Nativity.

From the press release:

THE STAR brilliantly tells the story of the first Christmas from the perspective of the adventurous animals who contributed to the journey and bore witness to the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ,” said Executive Producer DeVon Franklin, who also produced MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN. “The entire family will laugh and be inspired as they experience the power of faith, friends and courage through the eyes of these brave, heroic animals.”

From the studio that brought you MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN and CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS comes THE STAR, premiering in theaters nationwide Nov. 10. The cast of vocal talent features Steven Yeun (Bo the donkey), Gina Rodriguez (Mary), Zachary Levi (Joseph), Keegan-Michael Key (Dave the dove), Kelly Clarkson (Leah the horse), Anthony Anderson (Zach the goat), Aidy Bryant (Ruth the sheep), Ving Rhames (Thaddeus the dog), Gabriel Iglesias (Rufus the dog), Patricia Heaton (Edith the cow), Kristin Chenoweth (Abby the mouse), national radio personality Delilah Rene (Elizabeth), (King Herod), Kris Kristofferson (Old Donkey), and Tracy Morgan (Felix), Tyler Perry (Cyrus), Oprah Winfrey (Deborah) as the three camels.

Featuring new music by Mariah Carey.

THE STAR is directed by Academy Award® nominated writer/director Timothy Reckart (HEAD OVER HEELS); executive-produced by DeVon Franklin (MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN), Lisa Henson and Brian Henson (The Jim Henson Company); produced by Jennifer Magee-Cook; with a story by Simon Moore and Carlos Kotkin; and screenplay by Carlos Kotkin.

Starting July 28, the new teaser trailer from the film will accompany “The Emoji Movie” in theaters — or you can just watch it below, and then check out some new stills from the film (One is at the top, two more are below).
