FlyBy Promotions presents "The Star" movie...it's not just for Christmas!

Today, I'd like to tell you about a new movie by a famous Hollywood producer. The Star is the name of the movie and DeVon Franklin is the name of the producer.

Franklin is the CEO and founder of Franklin Entertainment which is a faith-based production company. "The Star" is his first Christmas movie that was produced by his own company.

I watched the movie today and loved it! The story is told beautifully and the voice actors who lent their voices to bring the animated characters to life were very convincing! The music perfectly supported the storyline and the production of this animated movie based on the Bible story about the birth of Jesus Christ was spectacular!

The movie is available for purchase in three formats: DVD, Blu-Ray, and digital.

FlyBy Promotions would like for me to mention that there are many fun bonus features on the DVD, including a children's Bible study.

To give you a better idea of what "The Star" movie and bonus features are about, I'm including a press release from FlyBy Promotions that I tweaked to make it shorter. 

Enjoy!
