The Star of Bethlehem (English 1950)

Here is a great 1950's film short that uses silhouette animation to tell the Christmas story. It was made by legendary German animator Lotte Reiniger. It is another reminder of Christmas’ past to help get you in the Christmas spirit. Although it takes obvious liberties with the Biblical story, it is still better than 95% of what is out there in the world.


Producer: Lotte Reiniger & Carl Koch
Production Company: Cathedral Films
