Directed by David Lowery and produced by five-time Academy Award winner Alfonso Cuarón, AN ALMOST CHRISTMAS STORY premieres this fall. The short follows Moon, a curious young owl who unexpectedly finds himself stuck in a Christmas tree destined for Rockefeller Plaza. In his attempts to escape the bustling city, Moon befriends a lost young girl named Luna. Together, they embark on a heartwarming adventure, discovering the magic of the holiday season and forming an unlikely bond as they journey back home to their parents. “An Almost Christmas Story” is inspired by the true events of a tiny owl, Rocky - short for Rockefeller, found and rescued from the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in 2020.
The talented voice cast includes Cary Christopher as “Moon,” newcomer Estella Madrigal as “Luna,” Jim Gaffigan as “Papa Owl,” Mamoudou Athie as “Pelly,” Alex Ross Perry as “Dave The Dog,” Gianna Joseph as “Peaky,” Phil Rosenthal as “Punt,” with Natasha Lyonne as “Pat,” and John C. Reilly as “The Folk Singer” who performs four songs in the short, two of which are original songs.
AN ALMOST CHRISTMAS STORY is the third and final installment in Cuarón’s holiday shorts collection. His first short, “Le Pupille,” earned an Oscars nomination in 2022, and last year’s “The Shepherd” was shortlisted, both of which were live action.
