About “An Almost Christmas Story”
Directed by David Lowery and produced by five-time Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón, “An Almost Christmas Story” follows Moon (voiced by Cary Christopher), a curious young owl who finds himself stuck in a Christmas tree destined for Rockefeller Plaza. As he attempts to escape the big city, Moon befriends a lost young girl named Luna (Estella Madrigal), and the pair embark on a heartwarming journey to find home while discovering the magic of the holiday season and forming an unlikely bond.
The voice cast also includes Jim Gaffigan as Papa Owl, Mamoudou Athie as Pelly, Alex Ross Perry as Dave The Dog, Gianna Joseph as Peaky, Phil Rosenthal as Punt, and Natasha Lyonne as Pat. John C. Reilly will also play The Folk Singer, who performs four songs in the short, including two original songs.
Lowery co-wrote the script with Jack Thorne from a story by Thorne and Cuarón. “An Almost Christmas Story” is the third and final installment in Cuarón’s holiday shorts collection for Disney+, following Oscar nominee “Le Pupille” (2022) and “The Shepherd” (2023).
