    • Trivia
      The markings on Bo's back make a cross.
    • Goofs
      When Bo gets Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, he's spotted by the Miller, his old owner. The Miller ropes Bo and drags him off, not only with Mary and Joseph's bed rolls and clothes, but as Joseph said "I left the money with Bo". When the Miller drags Bo into the manger, Bo suddenly has nothing on his back, and it's never explained where where the stuff belonging to Mary and Joseph went.
    • Quotes

      Dave: Wait a second. Are they eating chicken? Ladies, run!

    • Crazy credits
      During the credits, it is shown that Joseph buys Bo from the miller, and Bo helps him and Mary raise Jesus.
