The Green Knight director David Loweryā€™s animated short film An Almost Christmas Story is in November. Hereā€™s a trailer to remind us.


Definitions of ā€˜almost Christmasā€™ may vary from household to household, but for Disney+ it looks like mid November is the sweet spot. The platform will be releasing David Loweryā€™s animated short, An Almost Christmas Story, and coming from a filmmaker that often surprises and delights, weā€™re hoping for a delightful short that can join the ranks of the annual Christmas canon.

According to Collider, the film ā€˜will introduce young Moon (Cary Christopher), an owl whoā€™s instructed to never leave a tree in the woods in order to survive. But destiny has different plans for the small bird. The tree that was meant to protect Moon becomes a Christmas tree in the middle of New York Cityā€™s Rockefeller Plaza. But that doesnā€™t mean the owl will be completely doomed; a lost girl named Luna (Estella Madrigal) will be there to help.ā€™

It certainly sounds like seasonal fun, doesnā€™t it? Lowery recently collaborated with Disney on Peter Pan And Wendy, the Disney+ movie, but has also directed more offbeat films such as 2021ā€™s The Green Knight. His next feature is Mother Mary, a project that has been described as a ‘pop epic’ with the story ‘following a fictional musician and her relationship with an iconic fashion designer.” 

That film stars Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel. Even Lowery himself has admitted to being ā€˜baffledā€™ by it.

Weā€™re expecting to see that one in 2025 but before that arrives, weā€™ll be getting some ā€˜some almost Chistmasā€™ magic from the director. Itā€™s a stop motion film so hurrah for Christmas! Itā€™s produced by Alfonso Cuaron so once again, hurrah for Christmas! The only question is whether weā€™ll be able to resist watching it too early before Christmas. Hereā€™s the trailer below for An Almost Christmas Story.

An Almost Christmas Story will stream on Disney+ from the 15th November.
