The movie features a notably diverse voice cast for its animal and human characters, reflecting a broad range of talent.

Secondary
The film is a reverent and celebratory retelling of the Nativity story, central to Christian faith, portraying its events and figures with deep respect and wonder. The narrative aligns entirely with the virtues and dignity of the faith's foundational event.
The film accurately and respectfully portrays the Jewish cultural and religious context of the Nativity story, with its characters (Mary, Joseph) and setting rooted in Jewish tradition. It presents Judaism as the historical and prophetic backdrop for the birth of Jesus, without any critique or negative framing.
The Star is an animated film centered on the biblical Nativity story, told from the perspective of the animals. The narrative strictly adheres to traditional religious themes and does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or storylines.
