Having seen "The Star" the movie last Thursday, that is how I would name it.
The movie is the Christmas story, the birth of Christ the King, the Son of God and Son of Mary.
The donkey, Boaz, is ambitious to participate in a royal caravan but is recruited to work for Mary and Joseph of Nazareth en route to Bethlehem. When he is finally able to get away and go with the caravan of the king he decides, because of his affection for the Blessed Virgin (because of her kindness to him), to return to help Mary, Jesus (in utero) and Joseph. The story is really about the conversion of a donkey by becoming generous, and thus, unknowingly, serving the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!
There is also an element of mercy in that "Bo" saves the savage dogs of Herod when they are in dire danger, and those (would-be assassin dogs) also convert and join the throng in adoration of the newborn King in the manger.
One clear downside to the movie is the overtly effeminate bird Dave. Perhaps the bird should have been female rather than a "gay" (acting) bird.
Also, I would have preferred greater fidelity to the scriptural texts: e.g. "Hail, full of grace" is omitted as is "Gloria in excelsis Deo!" of the choirs of angels.
