What happens

Annabelle's Wish is a 1997 American direct-to-video animated Christmas film that revolves around a young calf who aspires to fly like one of Santa Claus's reindeer, while forming a friendship with Billy, a young boy who cannot talk. Narrated by American country singer Randy Travis, it also stars voice actress Kath Soucie as the voice of Annabelle and also features the voices of Jerry Van Dyke, Jim Varney and Clancy Brown. Ralph Edwards Films released the film to video on October 21, 1997, followed by a television broadcast later that year on Fox. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
