From the PR Firm: Some Angels soar the skies, and some fall a little short. A colorful adaptation of the fifteenth best-selling children’s book of all time, The Littlest Angel takes us on a rousing adventure with a young, and sometimes mischievous, Angel, who must return to earth and earn his wings, a task that doesn’t prove to be easy. Experience the love, laughter and magic of one of the most popular children’s stories of all time. From the classic book by Charles Tazewell, comes this lively CGI animated version filled with both humor and heart.


The Littlest Angel tells the story of a young boy who arrives in heaven before his time. Home-sick and lonely, he will travel back to earth, with his friendly pup Halo, to retrieve a most selfless and precious gift for The Baby Jesus. First released in book form in 1946, The Littlest Angel became popular for its ornate words and phrases paired with beautifully muted oil paintings. Tazewell’s book was adapted into a TV musical in 1969 starring Johnny Whitaker, and theatrical versions continue to be done by schools and church groups today. 


It’s a modern twist on the timeless tale of an Angel that discovers the greatest gifts in life are faith, friendship and doing the right thing. This new version of The Littlest Angel features wonderful animation and great vocal talent, including Ron Perlman (“Beauty and The Beast,” Tangled), and is sure to become a holiday favorite, much like the book it’s based on. The Littlest Angel is a motion picture that will put a smile on everyone’s face, and what better gift is there than that.

My take:  It's no accident that Anchor Bay is releasing this video now, during the Holiday season.  What better time to present such a timeless tale of selfless love for the Christ child, than during this most holy time?  I have only the vaguest of memories of this book so I was delighted to receive the DVD to view with my children.  My 9 year old boy was not interested and didn't even watch it. My 7 year old girl though was captivated.  So much so, she watched it three times in a row!  I wasn't realized surprised that she would like the story though as she has the kindest of hearts that I know (in adults and in children).  A story of another child learning to do the right thing was right up her alley.  And mine too, if you really want to know.  It was refreshing to review an animated movie that is age appropriate without all the violence that are with so many "cartoons" these days.  "The Littlest Angel" will go on our regular viewing rotation, during the holidays and not.  Read below to see how you can win a copy for yourself and watch the video for a glimpse into the special world of "The Littlest Angel" and his friends.
