    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Released in 2006 as "The Very First Noel."
    • Crazy credits
      The opening title wipes in from the left in a right besides the shining star. The opening credits mainly involves Melchior packing up things from his house (including his gold for the "King of Kings") into his traveling camel, and leaving his hometown to the nine-month journey following the star, which shines brightly just after the credits fade out.
