Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has a hit movie that I personally believe that every family should enjoy. The Star is a  heartwarming animated comedy that follows a small but brave donkey named Bo who 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 lovable sheep who has lost her flock and Dave, a dove with lofty aspirations, along with three wisecracking camels voiced by some of my favorites;Tracy Morgan (“30 Rock”), Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey. Bo and his new friends follow the star and become accidental heroes in the greatest story ever told. This is such a great movie!! My family has watched it several times.
