Tommy, Bobby and Queenie are three quails whose sole aim in life is to find a decent breakfast - that is until the day they overhear an angel telling Mary she’s going to give birth to the Son of God. And that’s just the beginning.
Still stunned by this momentous news, the birds suddenly find themselves trapped and thrown into a cage at King Herod’s court, ready to be served up as the main course at a royal banquet!
Life for the quarrelsome threesome will never be the same again as they eventually discover to their horror that Herod wants Mary’s baby dead. Together they must embark on a daring mission to find the infant before it's too late. But will they be able to escape the clutches of the evil king?
Superbly animated, and featuring a host of celebrity voices, this fast-paced, action-packed caper tells the amazing story of the birth of Christ in a way you’ll never forget. IT’S A BOY! is a fun-filled, feel good experience the whole family will want to share time and again - why wait ’til Christmas?
This DVD version of the It's a Boy! book took three years to complete, and was the idea of a man called Steve Legg who heads up The Breakout Trust. The film was distributed free to 26,000 primary schools in the UK after its Odeon Leicester Square premiere in 2005.
