Get ready for some holiday porque Disney+ is bringing us a new animated short that’s gonna make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It’s called “An Almost Christmas Story,” and it’s coming to our screens this fall, just in time to kick off the festive season.

A Aventura

This little gem is directed by David Lowery and produced by none other than the cinco-time winner Alfonso Cuarón. about a team, ¿no? But wait, there’s more! The voice is packed with talent that’ll make you say “¡Ay, qué chévere!”

We’ve got Jim Gaffigan, John . Reilly, and Natasha Lyonne lending their voices to bring this to life. And let’s not forget about the newcomers – Cary Christopher as Moon and Estella Madrigal as Luna. These chicos are about to steal our hearts, for sure.

A Tale of Friendship and Adventure

So, what’s the story all about? Picture this: Moon, a curious little búho (that’s owl for you, gringos), finds himself stuck in a Christmas tree headed for the big city – Rockefeller Plaza, to be exact. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, ¿verdad?

But don’t worry, porque our feathered friend isn’t alone for long. He meets Luna, a lost niña, and together they embark on an adventure that’ll have you reaching for the tissues. It’s all about finding their way back home, but along the way, they discover the true magic of Navidad.

Inspired by a True Story

Now, get this – this cuento is based on a real-life event! Remember Rocky, that tiny owl found in the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree back in 2020? Yep, that’s the inspiration behind this heartwarming tale. Talk about life imitating , or is it the other way around?

Music to Our Ears

And for all you music lovers out there, John C. Reilly is pulling double duty. Not only is he voicing “The Folk Singer,” but he’s also belting out four canciones in the short. Two of them are originals, so get ready to add some new tunes to your holiday .

The Final Touch of Holiday Magic

“An Almost Christmas Story” is the cherry on top of Cuarón’s holiday shorts collection. It’s the third and final installment, following “Le Pupille” and “The Shepherd.” With this track record, we’re betting this new short is gonna be puro fuego.

So, mi gente, mark your calendars and get ready to cozy up with some hot chocolate this fall. Disney+ is bringing us a slice of holiday magic that’s sure to warm our corazones and remind us what the season is all about. ¡Feliz Navidad in advance, amigos!
