The Small One (1978)
A boy must sell his beloved old donkey — and finds the one buyer who matters.
In Nazareth, a kind boy is told to sell Small One, his gentle, aging donkey, and spends a day discovering how few people value what he loves — until a quiet man needs a donkey to carry his wife to Bethlehem. Don Bluth directed this Disney short. Twenty-six minutes, and it will undo you.
