Trivia
With the aim of targeting the larger and more profitable English-speaking audiences, the voices for The 3 Wise Men were originally recorded in English - twice, in fact, after a change in direction led to a major rewrite of the script - and only after animation was it dubbed into Spanish for the theatrical release in Spain. Both original recordings in English for the European market were directed by Stephen Hughes. For the Disney/Walmart release in the USA, however, much of the film was revoiced in California under the direction of Bob Buchholz with more American accents and some better-known actors.

Quotes
Gaspar: [to his students] You've got big dreams? You want fame? Well, fame costs. And right here is where you start paying.
[hits floor twice with baton]
Gaspar: With sweat.

Alternate versions
The original version of The 3 Wise Men was in English and recorded at Telson studios in Madrid, Spain, under voice director Stephen Hughes, who also adapted the Spanish script into English and played the part of Belial. After animation it was dubbed into Spanish. This original English soundtrack was included in the limited 2004 video release in Spain.

Really a mixed bag

I sat back watching it just in time for the holidays. Then, I read reviews saying that it has almost nothing to do with the birth of Jesus Christ. There were times when I thought I enjoyed it and times when I didn't. It's more of an epiphany movie than it is a Christmas movie. The character designs have a Disney-esque look. Not a great film, but not a bad film either. There are times when things start to happen with any of the three wisemen. It has this cliché where any of them were turned into stone or are killed by Herod when you know deep down that it wouldn't be the three wisemen without any of them. You know, without one wisemen, it would be two wisemen.
