BURBANK, Calif. (Nov. 12, 2024) – See Moon at the top of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in a new clip from Disney Branded Televisionâs âAn Almost Christmas Story.â Directed by David Lowery and produced by five-time Academy Award® winner Alfonso Cuarón, this animated short is the third and final installment in Cuarónâs holiday shorts collection for Disney+. It is available beginning Friday, Nov. 15 on Disney+.
Inspired by the true events of a tiny owl rescued from the New York Cityâs Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in 2020, the new clip features Moon, a curious young owl who unexpectedly finds himself stuck in a Christmas tree destined for Rockefeller Plaza. He befriends a lost little girl named Luna and together they embark on a heartwarming adventure to find their way back home.
Cuarónâs first short of the holiday collection âLe Pupille,â earned an Oscar® nomination in 2022, and last yearâs âThe Shepherdâ was shortlisted, both in the Live Action Short Film category.
Produced by Disney Branded Television and Cuarónâs Esperanto Filmoj, in association with Titmouse and Maere Studios, and with animation services by 88 Pictures, the celebrated creative team includes Lowery (director, screenplay and producer), Cuarón (producer and story), Gabriela RodrÃguez (producer), Jack Thorne (story and screenplay), Nicholas Ashe Bateman (creative design supervisor) and Daniel Hart (composer).
