About George and the Christmas Star
George cuts out a paper star to top his Christmas tree but, dissatisfied, decides to go for the real thing - an unusually bright star that seems to beckon him from the sky.
Directed by Gerald Potterton, George and the Christmas Star leans on a strong ensemble — George Geertsen, Dave Broadfoot, Lynne Kolber — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1985.
