Heart-warming Christmas Tale
I've loved this story ever since my parents bought me the story record of it years ago. I recently started searching for it, either on VHS or CD. I'd just about given up hope when we stumbled across it at the video rental store on a new release Disney video called 'Countdown to Christmas'. It is the last story on the video, and it is there in full, with all the wonderful songs included.
This is a wonderful short story from Disney that gives a new perspective to the Nativity story - from the viewpoint of the little donkey that carried Mary to Bethlehem, and the boy who owned him.
The songs are lovely to listen to, especially 'Small One' and 'Friendly Face'. There is a charm and warmth in this tale that I find is lacking in many of the animations that Disney are producing of late.
This is something that is well worth having, if you can locate it.

The Small One
Unfortunately I have only recently discovered that Disney Productions have stopped doing any more videos of "The Small One". I have been trying to get hold of this beautiful Christmas story all about a young boy and his old donkey. This video is suitable for both young and old and ideal to watch especially at Christmas time with all the family. It is a video that every household should not be without.

Great!
This is a great movie for everyone in the family. A great familty tradition for Christmas Movies.
