Annabelle's Wish is a 1997 direct-to-video animated Christmas film. Set in rural Tennessee, the story is mainly about Billy, a little boy whose parents died in a fire and now lives with his maternal grandfather, Charles, on his farm. Billy is a mute, brought on from being traumatized after being caught in the same fire in his grandfather's barn that killed his parents. On Christmas Eve, a calf named Annabelle is born. Soon after, she meets Santa Claus, who gives her and the other farm animals the ability to speak once a year on that day. Annabelle becomes fascinated with Santa's reindeer and dreams of learning to fly and pulling his sleigh. On Christmas morning, Annabelle befriends Billy, and the two become inseparable. But trouble comes in in the form of Billy's Aunt Agnes (the sister of Billy's late father), who is constantly scheming to gain custody of him by any means necessary. When all hope seems lost, it is up to Annabelle to show what it means to sacrifice for someone you love, and that a kind act can go a long way, sometimes even returning when you least expect it...This special premiered on Fox in 1997, and was a holiday staple for Cartoon Network for many years. It got a float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade during its premiere year, and also helped to promote the Make-A-Wish Foundation, as seen on the original VHS release.Not to be confused with A Simple Wish, which was released around the same time and also features a principal character named Annabelle (but a different spelling thereof). | |

The Disease That Shall Not Be Named | |
| Annabelle's Wish / int_16838478 | comment |
The Disease That Shall Not Be Named: It's not clear why Billy lost his ability to talk after the barn fire. Smoke inhalation? Trauma? The movie storybook implies the latter, as it says that the fire "scared him so much he hadn't spoken a word since." | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Gus, after hearing how Charles had paid off his debt, is so moved and ashamed that he moves to make peace with Grandpa, and buys him back his daughter's music box, which he had sold to pay him off. He also appears very chivalrous given how he acts around Aunt Agnes Aunt Agnes to a fault. While she loves Billy, she sees material happiness before motherly love. She also falls for Gus, despite being the walk of life she looks down upon. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Annabelle's Wish / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: At one point, after Grandpa Charles says that "Doc Taylor" has done all he could for Billy, Aunt Agnes argues that he needs "real doctors, not some country hick who treats pigs as well as people." Obviously, this isn't a nice way of phrasing it, but she's not entirely wrong. A specialist in the city probably would be in a better position to help Billy than a doctor from rural Tennessee. | |

Animal Talk: The animals can speak like humans, but only on Christmas. It's very lightly implied that they can speak to each other the rest of the year, as Star at one point says that Annabelle has "thought of nothing else all year long." Which makes her eventual sacrifice a little less sad. | |

Villainy-Free Villain | |
| Annabelle's Wish / int_8b4f491c | comment |
Villainy-Free Villain: Aunt Agnes is the closest thing the film has to a villain, but she's snobbish and obnoxious rather than outright evil. She wants to take Billy in as her child for shallow and self-serving reasons (treating him more like a pet than a person) and refuses to accept that he wants to stay with his grandfather, but she doesn't do anything that's technically illegal. | |

My Beloved Smother | |
| Annabelle's Wish / int_b58c51d8 | comment |
My Beloved Smother: Aunt Agnes. She wants to take Billy back with her to the city because she thinks the farm is no place for him and she wants a child to spoil and dote upon, but there's very little relationship between the two. She treats him more like a pet instead of a child and doesn't respect his desire to continue staying with his grandfather. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Annabelle's Wish / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Gus' cruelty apparently stems from the heartache of losing his own wife, a pain he tried to repress until he heard the story of how Charles gave up his own daughter's music box to pay him off. He immediately goes about to make things right, and prompts his own sons to apologize as well. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Annabelle's Wish / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: The Sheriff. He grants Gus' request to possess Annabelle until Charles can pay off the damage done to his fence (which is legally sketchy, but apparently not his call) but he is clearly taking no pleasure in the deed. A year later, he finally prompts Gus' change of heart when he explains how Charles came through on paying him off. Gus is a grump and will defend his boys if need be, but even he has his limits when being lied to and will punish his boys for doing so. | |

Make a Wish: In this case, Christmas wishes. Annabelle initially wishes she could be a reindeer and fly with Santa, but instead decides to give Billy his voice back by giving up her own. | |

Call of the Wild Blue Yonder | |
| Annabelle's Wish / int_f86eb054 | comment |
Call of the Wild Blue Yonder: Annabelle, a calf, wishes to fly like Santa's reindeer after first seeing them. However, after bonding with Billy, who had lost his voice in a fire, she gives up her dream and her ability to talk on Christmas so that Billy could regain his voice. Years later, when Annabelle is elderly and near death, Santa comes and makes her one of his reindeer, restoring her voice. | |

Innocently Insensitive: When Billy finds out that Annabelle and the other farm animals can talk, Annabelle says that Billy "won't" tell anyone about it - without the knowledge Billy "can't" tell anyone. | |
