In this time of pandemic, my girlfriend and I were looking for a great Xmas movie to watch. After making some reasearches I found, Angela's Christmas Wish which had a decent rating for 7/10 on IMDB.
Didin't read much about the comments because I didin't want to get spoil on a short 47 minutes animated movie.
After watching it, this movie from which we had little expectations has now become a classic short movie that we will probably watch every year. I was born in the 1990's so unlike alot of comments that refers to the childhood or ''their years'' this didin't connect at all with us whatsoever.
The main reason why I like this animated movie is the fact that most if not all of the characters are ''genuinely good''. The little girl in the story is super cute and only has one objective, get her father back home.
The relation between the brother and sister is super sweet to watch. As for the relation between ''high class'' and ''low class'' of society you don't fall into that classic stereotype of the richer people devaluating or making fun of the poor or middle class people. The police, the guy working at the port etc. everyone just seems genuinely good. The only character that seems to be a little bit ''arrogant'' or the ''bad guy'' is the vet. But once again at the end of the movie even though he's exhausted and works long hours, decides to honor is deal.
There is just so much depths to that movie at different level and that is what makes it so beautiful. The brother and sister could have easily stolent the blind guy's money but didin't and instead decided to sing their own song and despite having a failure on the first try, decided to sing a 2nd song. Even though their father was back home, they decided to use that money to help others instead of spending it for themselves even though we know that the little girl wanted that doll pretty badly.
Everything about this movie is right, watch it over and over again to see that 2nd level of generosity, genuienely good actions and atttitudes. This was simply beautiful.
