Synopsis

In Sony Pictures Animation’s The Star, a small but brave donkey named Bo yearns for a life beyond his daily grind at the village mill. One day he finds the courage to break free, and finally goes on the adventure of his dreams. On his journey, he teams up with Ruth, a loveable sheep who has lost her flock and Dave, a dove with lofty aspirations. Along with three wisecracking camels and some eccentric stable animals, Bo and his new friends follow the Star and become unlikely heroes in the greatest story ever told – the first Christmas.

Movie Events

The Star

With showtime purchases and large-group gatherings, churches, ministries, businesses, and schools maximized the impact of the film when it played in theaters. Now these groups and others can make the most of the film by hosting Movie Events. Order your official Site License from AFFIRM Films today and host your Movie Event this weekend!

Why a Site License?

Since DVDs are only licensed for home or personal viewing, a site license is required to show movies to your church, school, ministry, or organization. In order to host group showings, you will need to purchase an official Site License. Please note: site licenses are not available for in-theater showings and umbrella license programs (such as CVLI) do not apply to films like this.
