The early line of Small One being "good enough to be a king's stable" is such a clever bit of forshadowing once you think about how he probably ended up in the same stable that Jesus was born in.
Yes the king of kings and lord of lords. The prince of peace 🙏. He was that kind man who bought him was Joseph who was taking Mary to Bethlehem to give birth to Jesus Christ the son of God
I watched this with my baby 16 years ago at Christmas. We literally watched it every day…and no matter how many times I saw it, I felt the same way and still do today! So simple, yet so beautifully told. This movie is so special. I hope everyone else loved it, too:) Blessings❤️
I grew up with “The Little Brown Burro” sweetest story. Watched it with my toddlers and cried at 42 years old. He carried our Messiah and His Mama. Ended up having one of the most important jobs ever.
I’ve just remembered; about a decade ago, the Nostalgia Critic added this Christmas story to his list of the top twelve Christmas specials. He introduced me to it.
It's the same driving force pumping all our hearts. Exactly how A.B positive blood (found on the Shroud of Turin/JESUS'S burial cloth) is compatible with every person on earth. "MARY CHRIST-mas" to you.
OH MY ACTUAL… Thank you _SO MUCH_ for posting this; I remember it from my childhood, but have never been able to find it… Until now… *_Thank you_* 🙏🏻🥰❤️
In the beggining when he is quickly eating his breakfast, he reminds me of my 3 month old baby when I'm breastfeeding her. I cracked up laughing when I saw him, looked just like my Liv. Loved this movie as a kid, thank you for putting it up.
I remember those times I miss the good old times when life wasn’t so stressful generation changed so much life felt so much different back then nobody was really depressed this was my childhood movie 😔
I started singing this song to my 2 chihuahuas, Coco and Rita, a few days ago . . ."small one, small one, some where a friend is waiting for you . . .". I couldn't remember the whole song and I hadn't seen this since the mid 1980s when I was like 5 or 6. I was so happy to find the whole cartoon on the YT. So sweet, but now that I watch this cartoon, its goddamn disturbing and sad.
I just heard of this movie, and just to test something, I decided to watch the end first knowing what was going to happen juuuuust to see if would still be effective. Even with zero context, Joseph’s obvious kindness and sincerity made me tear up. I cannot wait to watch this whole thing when I get home.
Even after I learned about it, I’m still coming to terms to the fact that _DON BLUTH_ of all people; the guy who gave us classics such as _An American Tail, The Secret Of NIMH, The Land Before Time and All Dogs Go To Heaven,_ used to work for Disney.
It was the very fact that Don Bluth saw the studio wasn't living up to its legacy that he left to challenged them with those first four films. Without him, there is no Disney Renaissance.
@@turtlepower4lee Oh, I know those. Those were; IMO, his “Meh” movies. But, I give them this, at least they’re better than; I know you may get angry for me mentioning this, _A Troll in Central Park_
Even if you aren't Christian or religious in general, this is still SUCH a good movie. If you hang on through the hard times, things get better. Especially when you are going through it with your best friend. My only issue, how the hell could Small One haul a pregnant woman across multiple countries in the desert but a big dude was too much for him? Eh, cartoon logic.
Agree, same goes to The Prince Of Egypt by DreamWorks even though we're all not religious but the movie including Small One made must believe in the Lord.
One of my favorite movie as a child ❤I was only 5 years old and I can still remember crying and being happy at the same time telling the story of my Lord and savior Jesus came into the world 🌎 to save us John 3:16 and how this young boy donkey was used to carry our Lord and savior ❤❤❤❤thank you Jesus
The Auctioneer was definitely the villain this animated cartoon. The Roman Guard was more evil than the Tanner because while the latter was only doing his job and was polite and honest with the Boy, the former intended to have Small One killed when he instructed the Boy to go to the Tanner’s shop. From 19:15 to 19:17, that was similar to when the knights laughed in the jousting tournament in Sword in the Stone.
I've not seen the sword in the stone in years but it's very likely those were recycled scenes (with appearances changed obvs). In the same way that the boy is literally mowgli from the Jungle Book. Obviously back in the day when things were hand animated, it was very common to save money by reusing animations; you'd paint characters to look different but you'd save time by doing so over existing frames from previous productions.
I didn't know that this short film existed until this past December, courtesy of the Nostalgia Critic. Now, I occasionally come here just to see the ending with Joseph. When we hit our lowest point, that is when we most easily see God's work in our lives.
That’s a Rankin bass film you’re talking about right oh and speaking of nesters mother do you know she’s voiced by the same lady who voiced Teela in He-man and the masters of the universe the filmation version
@swifty1969 That wasn't the issue that Jesus had with him. He wanted to know what it took for him to get to Heaven. He admitted he followed all of the Mosaic Law, but he didn't want to be charitable with his money. He's not saying we shouldn't enjoy our money, but it can be very easy to let money take over us to the point we aren't charitable, plus with money it's easy to not be dependent on God like many did back then. Money can be a very easy idol.
It's odd to see that 'we simply cheat a little if we must' was changed to 'we work a little harder if we must,' in the merchants' song. I wonder why? I had the book and record version.
@@nataliequick7957 Yeah, I don't see anything about them that just screams 'Jewish Stereotype' to me. They're dishonest, cheating merchants, but nothing suggests to me that they're Jewish.
@@juangrau662 Well, I actually really didn't think of that, and that's because I know next to zilch about the bible. I appreciate you pointing that out, even though it should have been obvious.
I wish the small one and other donkeys can talk and speak English. If the Small One can communicate and speak English, I wonder what his voice would sound like? Who would voice him? What would the small one say to the young boy if the small one can talk?
In the days of drawn Disney films such as this, they regularly recycled complex movement patterns and changed the details around the basic sketches. Another example of this is the dance sequence between Baloo and King Louie vs Little John and Lady Kluck which is exactly the same routine, and a further one is the ballroom dances between Bell and the Beast vs Aurora and Phillip. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
En toda Latinoamérica también nos conmovió mucho esta película, y tiene un excelente doblaje al español. Curiosamente , los comentarios de este cortometraje son iguales a estos!
The funniest part about this video isn’t that some guy filmed a super unheard-of Christmas movie on his iPhone at a tilted angle. It’s that he somehow got the urge to do it five months after the Christmas season. Jk great video dawg
23:38 Be strong and sure of foot and protect your friends from big bullies 3:15 - 12:47 - 14:47 - 19:49 - 22:12 A boy with a blue headband, a long red tunic and brown sandals. What does he wear underneath his long red tunic?
I felt sorry for the boy having to give up small one but he had to do what was best for him cause small one was getting weak and they couldn’t afford to keep him
And there were in the same country Shepards abiding in the fields keeping watch over there flock by night and low an angel of the lord came upon them and the glory of the lord shown round about them and they were soar afraid and the angel said unto them fear not! For behold I bring you tidings of great joy which shall be a message unto all people! For unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior which is Christ the lord!

The reception of the king himself seems also to be foreshadowed.
I didn't even think of that. 😊
Yes the king of kings and lord of lords. The prince of peace 🙏. He was that kind man who bought him was Joseph who was taking Mary to Bethlehem to give birth to Jesus Christ the son of God
The King of Jews and Miracles
He sadeld the king of kings
The most beautiful cartoon ever.
That's really very true 💯👍🙏

The people at Disney today have forgotten to make truly impactful films with beautiful biblical moments like this one, which is a real shame.
I agree. They are too busy making their WOKE movies.
That shit won’t get them anywhere and they just need to start caring about great stories like this one
I grew up with “The Little Brown Burro” sweetest story. Watched it with my toddlers and cried at 42 years old. He carried our Messiah and His Mama. Ended up having one of the most important jobs ever.

No need to preface it. A good story is a good story.

By far one of the best animated films.

You’re welcome
The fact that Don Bluth was the one who did this animated classic, of course it would be the most heartwarming disney animated film ever made!
I used to watch this as a kid; the opening song brought back so many memories 🥹
I remember a Christian story just like this one but I was close. Still a beautiful movie by Don bluth
In the beggining when he is quickly eating his breakfast, he reminds me of my 3 month old baby when I'm breastfeeding her. I cracked up laughing when I saw him, looked just like my Liv. Loved this movie as a kid, thank you for putting it up.

Bittersweet, yes. For me, its meaning is tied up in that very paradoxical emotion.

Even with zero context, Joseph’s obvious kindness and sincerity made me tear up. I cannot wait to watch this whole thing when I get home.
I'm not religious, but why dose that scene when Joseph finds the Boy and Small One fills me with emotion and hope ???
I believe it's because something in us responds to a kind, benevolent God.

This movie makes me cry. Animals are such amazing gifts from God and they are far more valuable than money and any other material possession.
Even if you aren't Christian or religious in general, this is still SUCH a good movie. If you hang on through the hard times, things get better. Especially when you are going through it with your best friend.
My only issue, how the hell could Small One haul a pregnant woman across multiple countries in the desert but a big dude was too much for him? Eh, cartoon logic.
her divinity gave small one (ordained by God) the strength to carry her and her unborn son.
Agree, same goes to The Prince Of Egypt by DreamWorks even though we're all not religious but the movie including Small One made must believe in the Lord.
With films like this, All Dogs Go to Heaven, and Land Before Time, Don Bluth truly had a heart of gold forged by God himself
Don't forget Secret Of NIMH and Anastasia as they are also Don Bluth's classic animated films.
This got me ugly crying. 😭

Roman guard i think was more messing with the boy somewhat, but the auctioneer was the worst
The auctioneer was Hal Smith. He played Otis the Drunk, on "The Andy Griffith Show".
I don't see those characters as villains, more like antagonists.
This is the best Christmas movie tear jerker though I remember when Disney was not woke

Don Bluth: Tearing your heart out but putting it back in with a happy ending that makes it all worth it.
Good enough to be in a king's stable, indeed.
They re-used animations from "The Sword in the Stone" and "The Jungle Book".
I always thought they had a resemblance. Are they drawn by the same artist?
I don't know.
@@maykondouglas2001 and lady and the tramp
I heard those words "Small one" so many times, that after watching this video, I started calling all children and short men and women as "Small one".
WOW ! VERY NICE GOD BLESS YOU...
First heard of this via a read along audio adaptation that had Hal Smith as narrator. Beautiful song at the beginning, and heartwarming ending.
The Auctioneer was the narrator!
I can’t believe this isn’t in Brazil’s Disney+. I wish there was a portuguese version that I could show to kids in the holidays.
God bless everyone
Similiar to Nester the Long Ear Christmas Donkey. Both will make you emotional. It just killed me when Nester's mom died. Dang!

The Young Boy looks so much like Mowgli from the 1967 Animated Disney Classic Jungle Book.

Joseph and his wife Mary goes with Small One to Bethlehem for the Nativity of Jesus.
I had the book but idk what happened to it
The boy had no choice, he and Small One decided to leave the village of Nazareth and back to home in dismay.
20:35 this is the same recycled animation as The Jungle Book
I recently watch this short film on Disney +.
I wish the small one and other donkeys can talk and speak English. If the Small One can communicate and speak English, I wonder what his voice would sound like? Who would voice him? What would the small one say to the young boy if the small one can talk?
So sad, I don’t watch it because it really bums me out.
the ending got me crying the most-
The man with the pots plays the voice of tony the tiger
I did not know that this was Disney until I went searching for it.
So much better than what they're doing now.
Saw it on Disneyplus. I loved the story in this
My Patron Saint appears at the end. That scene alone, proves why I chose St. Joseph.
