Wish I could hold it down to just crying at that. I've loved Nestor since I was a kid and not once in over 40 years of watching this have I managed dry eyes.
I saw this on TV in 1977 when I was a little kid. I cried then and I cry now! Good ol’ little Nestor, I’m glad younger people are finding this holiday classic so it can live on. ❤
As a 37 year old man, this movie/song still tears me up. I've always related with that little donkey. Still do.😔 I hope someday I'll have a happy ending like he did.
Still have this movie on VHS and I watch it every Christmas. These songs brings so much nostalgia for me and the songs being sung by Roger Miller is just awesome.
I know probably this means nothing to anyone٫ but I am 18 and can't get through this movie without sobbing. I am studying in school to preserve endangered breeds of livestock such as sheep and horses. We often forget how even the littlest animals have such a big impact on our world. This movie always reminds me why I started- God loves all animals٫ and no animal deserves to be abused or hurt.
I honestly forgot about this precious movie and I've seen it once or twice and I was listening to Dominick the Donkey and there was a comment about Nestor...i started crying
I lose it when Nestor's Mommy covers Nestor with her body to keep him warm and protected from the snow and cold but sadly, Mommy doesn't survive the night and poor Nestor is all alone to bury Mommy in the snow. I had a bad concussion a long time ago and am told that might be why. Moltke
if you listen to the lyrics, nester is like each one of each of us but when we do what we should ultimately we are all God's children, and Jesus died for your sins. We all have talents (secret ) God loves you, at the end God cannot to see you so come home. God loves all of us.
IF I COULD PICK OVER SAVING A HUMAN OR SAVING A DONKEY....THATS NESTOR....I WOULD PICK NESTOR. HES A TOUGH GUY, MAN. HES BEEN THROUGH ALOT. HE DESERVES IT!!
All the times I cry during this song. "One dark night two strangers gave Nestor a surprise They chose him from all others for they loved his gentle eyes A man was called by Joseph, Mary was his bride She needed help to Bethlehem and Nestor's back to ride" And "And so it was that Nestor found the manger where they stayed Where kings and wise men bowed before the baby where he lay Mary bore our Saviour and Nestor brought them there A gift of love from God above for all the world to share"
They don't play it on TV anymore for the same reason don't they play The Little Drummer Boy or the night the animals talked (if anyone is old enough to remember that); they have nothing to do with Santa !Claus
I still cry at the part where Nestor’s mother speaks to him from Heaven 😭
Me too :'(
IM NOT THE ONLY ADULT THAT DOES THAT with this show???
THANK GAWD!!!!! 😁
Yeah me too 😭

Keep looking and never give up, my friend. Every cloud has a silver lining and I know your happy ending is just around the corner. Merry Christmas
@@theghosthost2165 Thank you.🥺 Merry Christmas.
I can’t get through this without crying
It's okay nobody can
I watch the show every year. It's my favorite.

Where? I need to find it.

Thanks.
I will not cry. sob sob Dang. This movie always makes me cry especially. When you hear the words ears Nester
Agreed!
Nestor mom: Ears Nestor.....Nestor: Yes momma Enter waterworks
At first, I thought she said “Ears, Master”.
Every. Time.
I KNOW!!!! Where is the full movie!!!
Was anyone else disappointed when Nestor went back to that bad farmer? I wish he'd stay with Mary and Joseph :(
I totally agree, I mean that farmer practically killed his mother!
I totally agree
Yes I agree
100% agree
He was a wise donkey and forgave everyone, that’s the lesson guys. forgive everyone.
Just introduced a friend to this. Of course I had to watch it again. Cried almost all 25 minutes. Such a sad yet sweet film with much to teach.
Tilly was always my favorite little character that Rankin and Bass created, she's the sweetest little cherub.

No don't worry she did the common mistake of spelling it as Nester instead of Nestor.
I absolutely love Roger Miller
Fun Fact: Roger voiced another singing character, Alan-A-Dale, the rooster minstrel in Disney’s “Robin Hood”.
Who is in their 20s and still almost cries to this song?
Try your fifties!!😉😭
Me
Me too
Love. This. Move. It makes me. Cry every time I watch it❤️

And
"And so it was that Nestor found the manger where they stayed
Where kings and wise men bowed before the baby where he lay
Mary bore our Saviour and Nestor brought them there
A gift of love from God above for all the world to share"
