Reviews:

The best cartoon I ever saw. Period.
This is an animation for the ages. I thought “Mickey’s Christmas Carol” was my absolute favourite of all time, until I saw Annabelle’s Wish.

It’s the tale of true friendship and unselfishness that I believe EVERYONE should watch. It touches the heart, body, and soul with stunning visuals, a great score, and wonderful art and voices. Buy it if you have kids. Buy it if you are a kid. Buy it… if … if you still believe there is some good and worth in this world left.

An obscure yet charming animated Christmas special
I first heard of this Christmas special when one of my university classmates recommended it to me when she said the storyline of ‘Olive, The Other Reindeer (also very good)’ reminded her of the plot of this one due to Annabelle and Olive both wanting to become reindeer, although Annabelle’s true wish was Billy being able to talk again. I watched the first half of this on YouTube in the run-up to last Christmas and I found it rather enjoyable. This morning when I decided to watch the whole thing from the beginning due to having forgotten where exactly I’d left off, I was more satisfied because I got more out of it than I had done previously.

Although the character designs looked pretty generic, particularly the humans, I soon got used to them and although I initially thought Emily (also the name of the girl at uni who recommended this to me) was a boy, she was an endearing side-character and I found Annabelle absolutely adorable. When I first saw her, she reminded me of the ponies in the original 1980s ‘My Little Pony’ cartoon. Billy is a character who anyone watching this special would deeply sympathise with, his grandfather is supportive while Aunt Agnes is self-indulgent and the father of the boys who torment Billy and Emily is strict. The rest of the animal characters are more than worthy if Slim the pig is somewhat clichéd and stereotypical despite his name being the complete opposite of how he looks. The animation is fluid with rich shading and great uses of principles, most notably squash and stretch and follow-through and overlapping action. Both the background designs, especially those in the snowy exterior scenes and the springtime sequence, and music are beautiful. I particularly liked the songs accompanying Annabelle’s dream of herself jumping in the sky like a reindeer and the springtime sequence. The story and the dialogue are both heartbreaking (Billy becoming mute when being traumatised by the barn fire) and heartwarming (Billy and Annabelle eventually getting their wishes) and I liked the ending of Billy and Emily as a married couple and Annabelle becoming a real reindeer. The voice acting has some great variety to it and Santa’s voice here is more convincing and realistic than that in the mediocre ‘The Christmas Tree, where it sounded creepy and robotic. There are more well-known voices in the cast of this special than first thought including Randy Travis, Cloris Leachman (Hydia in ‘My Little Pony: The Movie’), Kath Soucie and Frank Welker.

Despite its generic character designs and one clichéd, stereotypical character, ‘Annabelle’s Wish’ is a charming, heartbreaking and heartwarming Christmas special that I would happily watch every festive season. 8/10.
