Annabelle's Wish
Movie • 1997
ReportA lovable calf named Annabelle born on Christmas Eve has a very special wish... to fly like one of Santa's reindeer. Based on the farm legend that Santa gives voices to the animals for one day each year, this tender tale of friendship and compassion begins when Annabelle makes friends with Billy, a young boy who cannot talk, and a friendly bunch of barnyard animals. Together they contend with Billy's mean aunt and the bullies in the neighborhood. Annabelle shows everyone the true meaning of Christmas by making one very special wish come true.

Bucky and Buster Holder are a bit rough when handling Annabelle in one scene, but they do not harm her.

Ending spoilers: In the epilogue, we see an elderly Annabelle stumble out of the barn on Christmas Eve, implied to be close to the end of her life. However, Santa grants her original wish to fly and restores her voice (which are also Billy's wishes for her) by essentially reincarnating her as a young, healthy reindeer. She is not depicted as dying during this process.

Aunt Agnes wants to adopt Billy and take him away from Grandpa Charlie (she does not succeed). Billy doesn't want to go with her at all and loves his grandfather, who treats him kindly. Agnes doesn't physically abuse Billy but she does not seem to genuinely care about his welfare and seems to only want him as an accessory.
