    • Quotes

      Star: Come on inside honey.

      Young Annabelle: But I wanna go with them! I want to fly too!

      Star: Well, you'll have to ask Santa about that.

      Young Annabelle: Is he coming back?

      Star: Yes - next year.

      Young Annabelle: Good, then I'll wait right here!

      [she sits down in the snow]

      Ears: Er, you know, a year, is a very, very long time, young lady. Maybe - you'd better wait inside the barn. At least that's my opinion.

    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.
