What is it about?
A young woman carrying an unimaginable responsibility. A young man torn between love and honor. A jealous king who will stop at nothing to keep his crown. This live-action Christmas musical celebration for the entire family, weaves classic Christmas melodies with new pop songs in a music-infused retelling of the greatest story ever told, the story of Mary and Joseph and the birth of Jesus. A unique new entry into the collection of holiday classic movies, this epic Christmas musical is unlike any before it.
My opinion
My husband and I saw Journey to Bethlehem in the theaters in December and it was so fantastic. Of course there is a little creative license on the nativity story, but the lessons and messages of old are still there. It is such a fun movie with great music and dancing. We really enjoyed seeing this in theaters and I’m so excited to now have it on DVD and Blu-ray.
The disc has some special features:
- Meet Mary and Joseph
- The Heart of The Journey to Bethlehem
- Meet Fig
- Meet Mary’s Sisters
- Meet Antipater
- Deleted Scenes: A Great Navigator
- Deleted Scenes: Travel Montage
- Deleted Scenes Joseph’s Catapult
Though the movie is PG and totally appropriate for families, King Herod is a little scary at times.
