Featured reviews
I watched this with my first daughter in 1999 when she was 3 and she loved it and watched it over and over. It was such a lovely film and the music just makes it perfect.
She now has 3 little girls of her own and when I sent her a clip she remembered it straight away and the music brought back all the lovely memories. Now they enjoy it too. Why is it not better known? . I never get bored of watching it and it makes me feel warm, fuzzy, nostalgic and very festive.
I'm 52 now and think I'll have to watch it again to get the Christmas feels π π
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.

Aunt Agnes: [after Billy and Annabelle meets for the first time outside and begin to play, Agnes joins Grandpa's side] You gave him a cow for Christmas?
Grandpa Baker: No, it was Santa Claus.
Aunt Agnes: You're teaching the boy to believe in that fantasy?
Grandpa Baker: Ain't nothin' wrong with a little believin', after what he's been through.
Aunt Agnes: Exactly! This dreadful barn is a constant reminder of that horrible fire. This barn just isn't safe, let alone for a boy who can't talk!
