Fan CastingNestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey

Based on the 1977 Rankin/Bass Christmas Special. Santa Claus' donkey, Speiltoe (originally voiced by Roger Miller) tells the story of his ancestor, Nestor, who has very long ears that drag the ground, is picked on by other animals, and gets kicked out of the stable and into the cold. After his mother sacrifices herself for him, Nestor is now alone until he befriends a cherub named Tilly who helps him travel to Bethlehem where he takes Mary and Joseph to a stable and Baby Jesus was born on the manger. Based on the song by Don Pfrimmer, Gene Autry, and Dave Burgess. Finale version sung by Alan Jackson (duet with Tim McGraw). Narrated and sung by Jason Aldean.
