Trivia

Goofs
When Bo gets Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, he's spotted by the Miller, his old owner. The Miller ropes Bo and drags him off, not only with Mary and Joseph's bed rolls and clothes, but as Joseph said "I left the money with Bo". When the Miller drags Bo into the manger, Bo suddenly has nothing on his back, and it's never explained where where the stuff belonging to Mary and Joseph went.

Quotes
Dave: Wait a second. Are they eating chicken? Ladies, run!

Crazy credits
During the credits, it is shown that Joseph buys Bo from the miller, and Bo helps him and Mary raise Jesus.

Don't listen to the negatives

The oldest review is rather shameful...it's not indoctrination to tell kids the truth and Mary was a virgin, no need for the quotes. The movie's good and worth seeing. It's great that it got a theater release, considering the junk in Hollywood today. Also I don't agree that it trivializes the story at all.
